Sold-out Marmite-flavoured Easter eggs are selling for THREE times the price on eBay
A number of Marmite eggs have already sold on eBay for a premium, proving that Brits really do love the yeasty spread
MARMITE flavoured Easter eggs have gone down so well with chocolate lovers that they are sold out in supermarkets - and eBay sellers are trying to flog them for THREE times their value.
The yeasty twist on a chocolate egg has been one of the more unconventional Easter treats to be launched this year, along with cheese eggs and Pot Noodle flavoured eggs.
The Kinnerton Marmite Easter egg, which costs £4, is out of stock on Morrison's website.
As a result, opportunists have taken to eBay to flog their eggs, and they're charging as much as £13 - a healthy £9 profit.
A number of Marmite eggs have already sold on the online auction site, proving that Brits really do love the yeasty spread.

The chocolate egg contains yeast extract - the main ingredient in Marmite - and has a love it or hate it taste, flavoured with the spread that has long divided the nation.
B&M also stocks the Marmite Easter egg, for £3.99, and there's a possibility that it could be in stock in your nearest store - but you can't buy it online and it is subject to availability, so there's no guarantee.
There are a number of weird and wacky Easter eggs on sale this year, including Iceland's "Cheaster Egg".
The hybrid egg claims to be the “ultimate sweet yet savoury Easter egg” treat, made up of Wensleydale cheese and raspberry and white chocolate curls.
It is available to buy for just £3 and weighs 300g.
Pot Noodle has released an egg in a novelty mug, which has been flavoured with chilli in tribute to their popular Bombay Bad Boy spice mix.
The uncoventional eggs have received a mixed reception on social media, with some saying they were tempted to snap up a Marmite or Pot Noodle egg, while others said they couldn't think of anything worse.
