Mini Eggs

Cadbury Mini Eggs are a milk chocolate product created and produced by Cadbury. Introduced in 1967, the egg is solid milk chocolate encased in a thin coating of hard candy "shell", molded to resemble a miniature egg.

Mini Eggs were previously produced in the Keynsham plant in Somerset, U.K.; however, as of February 2010, production has moved to Cadbury's new plant in Bielany Wrocławskie, Poland.

Over the years, Cadbury has introduced a number of variations related to the original Mini Eggs, including:
