Cadbury Freddo Faces Egg - 96g

Easter eggs are a serious business in Britain. The supermarket aisles fill up weeks ahead, and every child knows exactly which character they are holding out for. Freddo sits at the friendly end of the Cadbury line-up: a small frog with a very large following.

People in Canada go looking for this one for two reasons. A child has heard about Freddo from a cousin back home and wants in, or a grown adult wants the egg they used to find on the kitchen table at their nan's. Both are perfectly good reasons.

It is a proper 96g egg, boxed to survive the post and the hunt. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and the sunny windowsill, and it will wait politely until Easter morning. It works as a child's own egg, or one to split between two who have negotiated terms in advance.

Cadbury is behind a good share of a British Easter, from the Creme Eggs to the Mini Eggs, and a Freddo egg tends to go in the basket alongside them so nobody feels left out.
