I think I have a mini egg addiction

I can’t walk pass a packet in a shop without buying and devouring.

The serving size is supposed to be 8 eggs - what nonsense is that?!?!?!

By the time a nuclear apocalypse comes a) I will have built up a mini egg tolerance and won’t be able to eat enough and b)I won’t have built a stash anyway as I keep eating them!

Justonedayatatime11 thank you so much!!!!!? I'm really really really really trying to resist but damn......😁😁

I think I do too. I've just bought the Cadbury's mini egg chocolate bar. I've had to ration myself otherwise I'd have scoffed the lot in about 5 minutes.

I live in a town that had a Cadburys factory. I had my suppliers....

Don't look on the Cadburys site, they have a mini egg themed bundle 😋

I am going to have to resist even looking at this! I am just about keeping my habit in check by only getting mini eggs when I go to the supermarket, online deliveries will push me over the edge.

What happened to Mr Cadburys Parrot. Is it dead ?

Whoever was handling the marketing on that one clearly wasn't putting much thought into it.

I just looked on Amazon but they cost £36 for a kg💰

I am pretty sure I remember they were £12.50 at Waitrose. Every time I open my cupboard the smell wafts out. It's dangerous.

OhBeAFineGuyKissMe · 18/03/2024 16:27

I managed to not buy any at the shops today, by avoiding that aisle. Regretting it now though.

They smell so lovely but I don’t really like them, the chocolate doesn’t seem to have any flavour?!

editing to add that I don’t need convincing otherwise, there are plenty of things that I love, like malteser bunnies 😂

I went to the petrol station the other night for a can of Coke and wanted a bag of mini eggs. All they had was the huge mini egg Easter egg …. So I bought it 😭

AmaryllisNightAndDay · 18/03/2024 16:29

Did someone say a 1kg bag of mini-eggs???!!!??

Leeds2 · 18/03/2024 16:30

A serving is 8 eggs?

Pah!

TheNoonBell · 18/03/2024 16:35

Mini egg season is the best.

CatsLikeBoxes · 18/03/2024 16:35

I really want some now. Luckily cadburys online shop has sold out of the 1kg bag, so I've been saved from my greed, at least for now.

peachgreen · 18/03/2024 16:37

I am – no word of a lie – eating mini eggs as I write this. They are the best chocolate.

Did you know that Waitrose (other retailers are available) are currently selling 1kg bags of them? Yep. One whole kilo. It's a lot of mini eggs, I can tell you 😳

I’m 3 days over my due date and now heading off for an 25 min drive to Waitrose - I don’t know whether to thank you for this tip or curse you 😂😂

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 18/03/2024 16:46

I'm addicted to the Mini Egg bars. It's becoming a serious problem.

Hapagirl48 · 18/03/2024 16:48

Omg! Yes! I’m with you. My addiction is a lot worse now that they appear on the shelves on Boxing Day. I’m not even that bothered about chocolate in general. I think it’s their cute size (you don’t feel like a glutton) and their satisfying crunch.

Changedname23 · 18/03/2024 16:49

Me too! And they have to be from the freezer. I'm so glad they are only available for a few months of the year or I'd be as big as a house 🙈🤣

Justrolledmyeyesoutloud · 18/03/2024 18:11

I am more of a hot cross bun girl myself but not had one this year yet!! Need to do something about that!

GasPanic · 18/03/2024 18:25

Apparently you can get a Mr Cadburys Parrot soft toy on the cadburys web site.

I may get one to guard my mini eggs.

abracadabra1980 · 18/03/2024 21:23

I dream of them making a large version with a 1 inch crispy shell on the outside. For me it's the crunch that's addictive 😁

Justonedayatatime11 · 26/03/2024 12:14

1kg bags back in stock on Cadbury's website. Just saying...!

Toddlerteaplease · 26/03/2024 12:16

I used to love them until I broke my tooth on one. Steered clear ever since 🤦🏻‍♀️.
