Cadbury’s Mini Eggs have been given a festive makeover just in time for Christmas

The festive season is well and truly upon us which means one thing and one thing only: an abundance of Christmassy chocolate.

Yep, there’s something about this time of year that makes the sweet treat taste just that little bit better so, of course, chocolate manufacturers have been coming out in full force to make Christmas that extra bit more chocolatey. 

Just last month, Lindt made its ‘luxuriously thick’ hot chocolate available in the UK for the first time ahead of the festive season, while Cadbury brought back it’s overwhelmingly popular Neapolitan hot chocolate, which makes for the perfect winter warmer with cream and marshmallows.

And now, Cadbury has gone that one step further by giving an iconic Easter treat a very Christmassy makeover – introducing, the brand new Christmas Mini Eggs.

Much like the original Cadbury Mini Eggs – which are usually only available during Easter – these chocolate eggs are made up of a hard candy shell but, instead of the middle just consisting of hardened Cadbury milk chocolate, the new festive version has bits of broken up candy canes incorporated, too.

It sounds a little too good to be true, doesn’t it? 

Well, I’m afraid I have a little bit of bad news; the festive Mini Eggs are sadly only available to purchase online, so you won’t be finding them knocking about in your local news agents any time soon.

GB Gifts is currently flogging 190g bags of Cadbury Candy Cane Mini Eggs for £9.99 – a small price to pay for a massive bag of Christmassy and chocolatey goodness, if you ask me. 

Head over to the GB Gifts website to get stocked up.
