Cadbury Dairy Milk Chunk Small Egg - 71g

Easter in Britain runs on Cadbury eggs. The big ones go to the children who have been good, and the small ones go to everybody else: the nieces, the neighbour, the colleague you forgot until Thursday, the plate at breakfast on Easter Sunday.

People in Canada search for this by name because the name is the point. Dairy Milk made for the UK is the taste they mean when they say Cadbury, and an egg with that wrapper on it is Easter as they remember it. Simple as that.

At 71g it is a proper small egg, one person's worth or a generous share after lunch. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard out of the sun and it will wait patiently, which is more than can be said for whoever lives with you.

Most people do not stop at one. A bar of Dairy Milk tends to join it in the basket, along with a few more small eggs so the hunt has enough for everyone and nobody has to be told it was the dog.
