DO you know where I can get that list from Cadbury?

Thanks

Cadbury Mini eggs, the ones with the candy shells... Those are my weakness, literally. I have a container on my desk and I eat them all day...my coworker helps me but man I am so glad these are safe.

I am in love with the mini eggs with the hard shells too I always buy them in bulk to get me through the year they are so great!! By far the best easter candy

[blueeyedmanda]

Skinny-Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only person who bought them in bulk. It is August and I whip out a bag. I think the mini eggs got popular again, for a few years I had a hard time finding them. I know Wal-mart in my area doesn't sell them. I can get them most everywhere else so I am happy. I glad to see someone else shares my love for mini eggs!!!!

[amybeth]

I just saw mini-eggs in the store. I LOVE THEM, and I wasn't sure if they were gluten-free. I'm so excited. I'm going to buy out the store.

Also a good thread on friends w/ celiacs on what to put in an easter basket -- check there. I think it says "Daughter's friend has celiac"

I love the mini eggs!! Yay!!!!

[Guest nini]

is this ok because it says "For detailed information on our products in the UK " Is that still good for USA information?

it was the only official Cadbury site I could find, thought it was at least somewhat helpful!

[Jnkmnky]

I stuffed 75 plastic eggs one easter with various candies... Well, at the last minute I decided a good mother would double check ingredients. So I did. And the egg shaped recess peanut butter cups had WHEAT!!!! So, always check your candies particularly if the shape is changed for a holiday theme. Nobody wants to check and unstuff 75 plastic eggs at 10pm on easter eve.

[Guest cassidy]

The mini-eggs are my favorite. I bought two big bags which will hopefully last me the year. If you really like these and run out before next easter, Cadbury makes Carmello and a Milk Chocolate bar with the same chocolate. I think it is much better than Hershey's, Dove or any other brand.

[blueeyedmanda]

Cadbury Mini Eggs, are made by Hershey and sold under the Cadbury egg. Caramellos.....heaven....8 and I am thinking about going downstairs to the main cafeteria to find a carmello bar.

[teankerbell]

Since I can't have dairy - it will be Jelly Bellies for me! :-)
