Easter Comestible Review – Cadbury Minis Mix - Mini Eggs

These, I will admit,  were very much an impulse buy while I was wandering around the big B & M Bargains just up the road ………

I thought they might be a generous seasonal mix of egg shaped confectionary to proffer to any visitors we may have over the Easter holiday.

They cost the princely sum of £2.99 for which we got a total of 23 eggs (238g)  – not a number equally divisible between three, but as I said, these were intended to share with guests and not our sole consumption.

The assortment was shared between 9 small iconic crème eggs, 5 solid Dairy Milk eggs, 4 Dairy Milk Daim eggs and 5 white hazelnut crème eggs.

We were sadly very, very, very disappointed! It was either impossible to bite into the Daim or Dairy Milk eggs without them falling apart and making an unseemly mess or they were already crumbled within their foil wrapper.

The iconic Cadbury Crème Eggs, certainly did not have a soft, gooey centre as expected, as, to be honest, they were positively hard boiled!

And the White Hazelnut Crème eggs?  Well, we know we all have an incredibly sweet tooth, but yuk, yuk, yuk, these were just tooooooooooooo sweet and the creme (???) was more of a fondant!

I think it’s pretty obvious that we were not at all impressed, but grateful that we’d the foresight to try them beforehand, because can you imagine the shame and embarrassment that would have befallen us had we served them to visitors first!

We’ve checked the best before date which is 31.07.2022 so I think Questions need to be asked in Parliament and by Fiona Bruce, on our behalf on Question Time

So ……. a thundering and unequivocal null UK Eurovision points on our World Famous Richter Scale of Noms for Cadbury Minis Mix,  which also means that we’re now on the search for another more suitable Easter offering for our festive guests ……. although I think we’re best ruling anything of a Cadbury type nature out this time.
