Nestle KitKat Mini Eggs - 81g

Come spring, British shop shelves fill up with eggs of every size, from the big hollow ones in boxes to the small bags by the till. KitKat Mini Eggs sit in that second camp: the bag that gets opened before the egg hunt is even over.

A KitKat is a KitKat wherever you are, but this Easter version is the one people remember from the corner shop at home. So they search for it by name, usually around the time somebody back in Britain posts a photo of their Easter haul.

It is an 81g sharing bag, easy to tip into a bowl or split between a couple of small hands. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard out of the sun and the shells stay crisp. People scatter them on the table on Easter Sunday, hide them in the garden or press a few into the top of a cake.

Most people put a bag in the basket alongside a proper chocolate egg and a few favourite bars from home. It makes a very good Easter parcel for someone who has been away a while.
