Cadbury Creme & Caramel Egg Mixed 8 Pack - 320g

In Britain the Creme Egg is a calendar. It turns up in the newsagent not long after New Year, and once you see it you know spring is on its way, whatever the weather is doing outside. The Caramel Egg follows it in, for the people who prefer their eggs a bit slower.

If you grew up with the Cadbury of home, that is the taste you go looking for at Easter, usually after someone in the family asks why the eggs do not taste like they used to. These are the ones they mean.

You get eight eggs in the pack, each in its own foil, so they go into baskets, egg hunts and coat pockets without fuss. Keep them somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun, and they will sit happily in the cupboard until somebody finds them. Some people bake them into brownies. Most people do not get that far.

People tend to pick these up alongside a bag of Mini Eggs or a Dairy Milk bar, which is how a quick Easter top-up turns into a proper Cadbury haul.
