Cadbury Giant Mini Eggs - 455g

In Britain, Mini Eggs turning up in the shops is how half the country knows spring has arrived. They sit right next to Dairy Milk as one of the Cadbury things anyone can picture with their eyes shut: the matt pastel colours, the little speckles, that particular crunch.

People in Canada search for them by name because the memory is so exact. If you grew up with the British ones, you want those, the ones from the bowl at your nan's or the bag shared on the back seat of the car.

The giant size is the point here. It fills a bowl on the coffee table, a jar on the desk, or the top of a birthday cake, and some people crush a handful into cookie dough and call it baking. Keep them somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun, and out of reach of anyone who says they don't really like chocolate.

They tend to go home with other Cadbury favourites, a bar of Dairy Milk usually, and a box of proper British tea for when the sugar wears off.
