Cadbury Giant Buttons Egg - 96g

The Buttons egg is a fixture of a British Easter. It is often the first egg a child is given, and the one grown adults quietly buy for themselves anyway. It sits in the Cadbury Easter range next to the bigger, louder eggs, and it has never needed to shout.

In Canada, people go looking for it because Easter has a particular taste, and for a lot of us this is it. Cadbury made for the UK has the flavour people grew up on, and the Giant Buttons have exactly the shape and snap you remember from the back seat of the car on the way to Nan's.

It is a proper child-sized egg, or a grown-up-sized one if nobody is watching. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and the sunny windowsill, and the shell stays in one piece until you decide otherwise. It does nicely in an Easter basket or as the grand finale of an egg hunt.

People tend to pick it up alongside other Cadbury favourites, Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs being the usual suspects, or a bag of Buttons for the ones who skip the egg and go straight to the point.
