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. They are popular around Easter.[1]
Mini Eggs were previously produced in the Keynsham plant in Somerset, England; however, as of February 2010, production has moved to Cadbury's new plant in Bielany Wrocławskie, Poland.[2]
Variants
Over the years, Cadbury has introduced a number of variations related to the original Mini Eggs, including:
- Shimmer Mini Eggs (metallic colored shells)
- Dark Mini Eggs (dark chocolate, discontinued)
- Popping Mini Eggs ("pops" when melted in mouth)
