It might not seem that long since Christmas but Easter is here once again which, of course, means it's time to feast on chocolate eggs!
We all have our favourites and the tradition of filling your face on sweet treats every year goes back a long way as these wonderful throwbacks from the Cadbury's archive show.
If you've stocked up on chocolate eggs this year, you may well have noticed that the designs you see on shelves today all tend to feature bold solid colours and, for the most part, be in standard rectangular boxes of varying sizes.

This hasn't always been the case though and, thanks to the archives at Cadbury, we can take you on a trip down a chocolate-ey memory lane that is sure to stir up some Easter nostalgia.
Take a look at the gallery below to see what packaging your old favourites used to come in. It stretches all the way back to the 1920s when things were quite a bit different.
One thing you're sure to notice is how eggs from a particular decade really do unmistakably 'feel' like that like they're from that era. The red and blue Creme Egg colours were an iconic era, and the "90s cool" of the Boost bar egg, complete with bright blue and sharp angles really belongs in its time.
Many of the egg boxes themselves had a flair to them, too. See the Penelope Pig Curly Wurly one, or the Freddo egg in the gallery, all artfully folded into the shapes of their characters.
Going back to the 50s, some eggs did away with their boxes all together, coming in flowery foil. You might recognise names from then, too - some of these brands have had a very long shelf life.
Even further back, in the 20s and 30s, is where the real art is. Cadbury made some ornate-looking things back then, complete with marzipan decorations, bows and ribbons, and even bonus trays of chocolates inside.
So, grab a chocolate egg, sit back and take a trip back to Easters of days gone by!
