As Easter Sunday approaches, Uber Eats has revealed its ten best-selling Easter eggs on the app – and the treat that takes the top spot just happens to be a Cadbury fan favorite.
Last year, from April 1 to 9, the online food delivery company announced that more Easter eggs were delivered to UK customers than chicken eggs, with a remarkable 55,025 eggs in chocolate arrived at customers’ doors.
And now the company has announced its ten best-selling egg-shaped chocolate treats of 2023, with Cadbury’s Mini Eggs taking the gold as the nation’s favorite.

This delicious treat reigned supreme, closely followed by Milkybar Mini White Chocolate Eggs.
Maltesers Easter Egg was ranked third as the most ordered treat, followed by Cadbury’s Creme Egg and Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Buttons Easter Egg in fourth and fifth place.
Rounding out the rest of the UK’s favorite Easter treats include: Smarties Egg, Kinder Surprise Egg, Maltesers Teasers, Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Egg Bars and Terry’s Mini Chocolate Orange Eggs.
Uber Eats also named Londoners the biggest Easter egg lovers in the country, ordering 14,353 Easter eggs between April 1 and 9.
Birmingham and Manchester followed closely, as the British in these cities could not resist the sweet temptation.
Surprisingly, Scotland took a less chocolate route, with just 2,272 Easter eggs knocking on doors in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
However, the month isn’t all about Easter eggs and other confectionery creations: 2,166 hot cross buns were also sent straight into people’s Easter baskets, as the nation fully embraced the range of Easter treats available to order at your doorstep.
Alex Troughton, Director of Grocery and Retail at Uber Eats, said: “Easter eggs never fail to become one of the most popular items on the app during the Easter period. »
