Cadbury Mini Eggs Royal Dark Chocolate
What it is
These are small, individually wrapped chocolate eggs with a dark chocolate center. They are made by Cadbury and are a popular treat, especially around Easter. The dark chocolate offers a richer, more intense cocoa flavor compared to milk chocolate. The shell is typically a candy coating that provides a slight crunch before you reach the smooth chocolate inside. They are designed for snacking and sharing.

Their size makes them easy to portion and share, or to keep for yourself.
