That time of year again when Cadbury flood the world with fantastic Easter products!
The ever popular Cream Egg and Mini Eggs will be with us until Easter and then they disappear from our shelves once more. For the last three years we've stocked Mini Eggs, ideal for putting in favours, and they've proved pretty popular. Usually the sell by date on these runs into August / September, so they would still be in date for the majority of summer weddings and baby showers. But as we all know, chocolate never really goes off does it!

The biggest problem we face in selling mini eggs is that ever year they change the way they sell them and its a pain!
First they had 2.5kg boxes where the eggs were loose, then they disappeared so we had to move to 2.4kg boxes which housed 24 x 100g bags, and now we've had to shift to their large 340kg bags! These bags are much larger than those you normally see in the shops, and we can sell at a very favourable price, but just hope our customers go for them - they tend to like the boxes...
btw - we tried to sell Cream Eggs but think they were a bit big, we didn't sell any!! But, just like any mini eggs we end up with, they soon found a home!!
