Cadbury Mini Eggs are a milk chocolate product created and produced by Cadbury. Introduced in 1967,[citation needed] the egg is solid milk chocolate encased in a thin coating of hard candy "shell", molded to resemble a miniature egg. They are popular around Easter.[1]

Mini Eggs were previously produced in the Keynsham plant in Somerset, England; however, as of February 2010, production has moved to Cadbury's new plant in Bielany Wrocławskie, Poland.[2]
