Reese's Peanut Butter Filled Mini Egg - 34g

A British Easter comes in two sizes. There are the big boxed eggs that get handed over on Sunday morning, and then there are the little ones you pick up by the handful at the till. This sits firmly with the little ones, and nobody has ever complained.

People in Canada go looking for it because they want Easter the way it looked on the shelf back home: the same egg, the same wrapper, the one they found under a cushion during an egg hunt that got slightly out of hand.

It is a single 34g egg, which makes it easy to tuck into a basket, hide in the garden or slip into a lunchbox the week after. Keep it somewhere cool and dark in the cupboard, well away from the radiator, and it will wait patiently until somebody finds it.

Most people buy a few at once and put them alongside the bigger hollow eggs, so the small ones can do the real work of keeping everyone quiet until the main event.
