The Hershey Company holds a license to manufacture CADBURY chocolate products in the United States.

Founded in the 1800's, Cadbury has long been a part of England's history with ties to the British monarchy. The first Cadbury shop was established by John Cadbury in Birmingham, England and grew through the hard work and vision of his sons, the Cadbury brothers - Richard and George. Still today, CADBURY DAIRY MILK is the UK's best selling chocolate, achieving its flavor and creaminess using the traditional recipe. Acquiring the license to manufacture and sell Cadbury products in the United States in 1988, Hershey Foods Corporation has continued that fine artisan quality of chocolate making. Among the brands made in Hazleton, PA are CADBURY DAIRY MILK bar, CADBURY FRUIT & NUT bar, CADBURY, CADBURY Roast Almond bar, CADBURY ROYAL DARK bar and CARAMELLO bar. The most famous Cadbury product is the CADBURY CRÈME EGG available only during the Easter season. To many consumers, the Easter season and CADBURY CRÈME EGG were introduced by a very famous character - the "Clucking Bunny." The "Clucking Bunny" campaign, which began in 1982, remains one of the most recognized and beloved confectionery advertising campaigns.
