Cadbury Mini Eggs are a milk chocolate product created and produced by Cadbury. Introduced in 1967, the egg is solid milk chocolate encased in a thin coating of hard candy "shell", molded to resemble a miniature egg.

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

Product specification

Over the years, Cadbury has introduced a number of variations related to the original Mini Eggs, including:

• Shimmer Mini Eggs (metallic colored shells)^{[citation needed]}
• Dark Mini Eggs (dark chocolate, discontinued)^{[citation needed]}
• Popping Mini Eggs ("pops" when melted in mouth)^{[citation needed]}
• Micro Mini Eggs (even smaller variation of Mini Eggs) (introduced in 2007)^{[citation needed]}
