Galaxy Hazelnut Flavour Creamy Truffle Mini Eggs - 74g

Easter in Britain is mostly chocolate with a bank holiday attached. Galaxy has always been the smooth one on the shelf, the bar people pick when they want to take their time over it, and the mini eggs bring that into egg season.

People in Canada search for these by name because that is the wrapper they remember: the brown and gold bag by the till, the bowl on the coffee table at a relative's house, the eggs that were meant for the hunt and somehow never made it into the garden.

It is a 74g bag, enough to share if you are feeling generous and enough to keep if you are not. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from a sunny windowsill, and it will sit happily in the cupboard until Easter Sunday. They go in a bowl, in the hunt, or on top of a cake where they look deliberate.

Most people buy them alongside a proper hollow egg for the main event, or a bar of Galaxy for whoever claims they are not bothered about Easter. They are always bothered.
