Cadbury Caramilk Egg - 183g

In Britain the Easter egg is a proper event. The supermarket aisles fill up weeks ahead, everyone has their egg, and Caramilk has earned its spot on the shelf next to the old favourites from Cadbury.

People in Canada search for it by name because the UK Caramilk is its own thing, a solid golden chocolate rather than a bar with a centre. If you tried it on a trip back, or someone posted you a piece once, you know exactly why you are looking.

It is a hollow egg with a good thick shell, boxed to keep it in one piece on the way to you. Keep it somewhere cool and dark in the cupboard, away from the radiator and anyone with a sweet tooth. It breaks up well for sharing, if sharing is the plan.

Plenty of people pick up a few Cadbury eggs at once so the whole family gets their usual, and add a bar or two of Dairy Milk for the egg hunt that always runs short. One egg each sounds fair until Sunday afternoon.
