Shoppers have been left outraged with the return of Cadbury’s Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs tins.
While many people are celebrating the news, others have hit out at the tins, labelling them a “rip off”.
This comes after shoppers discovered the tins were not filled to the brim with chocolate eggs, but instead the Creme Egg tin contains eight Cadbury Creme Eggs and one 89g bag of mini Creme Eggs, while in the Mini Egg tins you'll find 10 treat size bags which weigh 32g each.

Despite this coming to light after the tins initially launched back in January 2020, some shoppers haven’t taken the revelation well.
When the news was posted by Facebook page Snack News & Reviews, many people praised the tins, while others slammed them as a “rip off”.
Among the comments, one person wrote: “Rip off!! Better of buying a big bag of them” while a second said: “They are a rip off.”
A third added: “Total scam! The bags inside are tiny you get like 8 eggs in each bag and there’s barely enough to cover the bottom once you've emptied it all out”.
A fourth said: “It’s not what everything thinks to open this and have unlimited mini eggs it’s like 8 mini bags ... con man”.
However, other shoppers disagreed and said they’d be heading to stores to pick up a tin.
One person said: “not a want..it’s a NEED”, and a second added: “I NEED IT”.
A third wrote:”ooo THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!”.
A spokesperson for Cadbury said: "The Cadbury Mini Egg tins contain ten Cadbury Mini Eggs bags, while Cadbury Creme Egg tins contain eight Cadbury Creme Eggs and one bag of Cadbury Creme Egg Mini Filled.
"The tins are designed to be a fun, reusable gift for bakers, who we know love to include our eggs in their recipes whether that’s a Cream Egg tray bake or a Mini Egg topped Easter sponge.
"The Cadbury Mini Eggs and Cadbury Creme Eggs are also kept in packets to avoid damage to the eggs."
Cadbury’s Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs tins are available now at B&M.
