Cadbury's are selling big tins of Creme Eggs for Easter

Cadbury's have started their Easter planning early, with tins of Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs revealed for the chocolate holiday.

For the first time ever, the chocolatier are selling the tubs for £5.99 each, and they will be available from as early as January.

Whilst the Creme Egg tub contains 409g of the fondant-filled goodies, the Mini Eggs tin weighs in at a slightly less 319g, The Mirror reports.

If you were to buy everything separately, a full-size Creme Egg weighs 34g and costs about 50p, or you can get a pack of five for around £1.65.

We are wondering how easy they will be to find, after people started to think Cadbury's Twirl Orange bar doesn't exist.

Therefore, the 409g tub works out at about the same weight as 12 creme eggs, which would cost you £6 - meaning you're getting the same amount of chocolate for your money no matter which option you go for.

As for Mini Eggs, a 90g bag was priced at £1.15 on average this Easter, meaning that a 319g tin is the same weight as three and a half bags of the glorious Easter treat, so you may be losing out on a quid or two by opting for the tin, which costs just under £2 more than the price of three and a half bags of mini eggs.

However, there's no word on whether the tubs are filled with full-size or miniature versions of the iconic Easter chocolate, which could change things completely.

As well as the new tubs, Cadbury will also be selling a Bourneville Easter egg, which features a whole bar of the dark chocolate, weighing 115g and priced at £3.99.
