We recently revealed that Cadbury had shrunk some of its bestselling eggs including Wispa, Flake and Dairy Milk, with some small eggs being slashed from 122g to 96g and larger ones falling from 224g to 182.5g.

But prices have remained the same or have even gone UP.

Plus there is often a premium you pay for your chocolate if it comes in the shape of an egg.

We cracked the case by comparing Easter treats with regular chocolate bars, bags and boxes.

Shoppers rush to major supermarket to buy Cadbury and Rolo Easter eggs for £2
Aldi is selling a Lindt Easter bunny dupe that’s 70% cheaper
