Cadbury Twirl Large Egg - 171g

In Britain, Easter means a Cadbury egg on the kitchen table, still in its box, with the foil already peeled back at one corner by someone who swears it was like that. Twirl is one of the Cadbury bars with a proper fan club, so a Twirl egg tends to be the one that gets claimed first.

People in Canada go looking for it because they want that exact egg, the one from the corner shop, the one swapped at school, the one waiting at Nan's. Some want it for themselves. Plenty want their own kids to know what Easter morning looked like back home.

It is a large boxed egg at 171g, which is enough to share if you are feeling generous and enough not to if you are not. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from a sunny windowsill or a radiator, and it will sit happily in the cupboard until the big hunt.

It makes a natural centrepiece for an egg hunt, or a gift for someone who misses home. While you are here, have a look through our Cadbury shelf: the bars from the same aisle tend to end up in the same basket.
