Cadbury Mixed Creme Egg 5 Pack - 200g

In Britain the Creme Egg is a seasonal thing, and that is half its power. It turns up in the shops after the new year, it is gone once Easter has been and done, and everyone spends the weeks in between eating more of them than they meant to.

People in Canada come looking for this one because it is the egg from the corner shop back home, the Cadbury one they remember from school lunchboxes and Easter Sunday. When you have been away a while, that particular box carries a lot of memories for its size.

The pack holds five eggs, a mix, 200g in all, so there is enough to share and a fighting chance of one left for you. Keep the box somewhere cool and dry, away from sunny windowsills and radiators, so the shells stay as they should. They go into Easter baskets, egg hunts in the garden and, quite often, straight into whoever found the box first.

Cadbury makes plenty more for Easter and beyond, and people tend to add a bag of Mini Eggs or a bar of Dairy Milk while they are at it. Nobody has ever regretted that.
