I had planned on using these in Easter baskets for my family but almost every egg in the bags are cracked and broken. I'm very disappointed.

Even though the bags of candy were well packaged, the candy is all in shards. It must have been dropped at the warehouse where it wasn't checked for any defects. Not very pretty for an easter basket like I planned. I would like to get a refund or replacement.

Product arrived promptly! Thank you for including an ice pack to keep the chocolate from melting in the Texas heat!

I had to buy these because my housemate had a couple bags and I ate them all. I didn't mean to. It's just that they were sitting out in a bowl, and then when that bowl was empty, I had to fill it, and then I realized that I should just take the entire bag. And the next bag.

Then I ordered this pack of four to replace those two bags. The fact that there were two more bags left over for me was just a fortuitous coincidence. Those bags did not last long.

These bags were actually much newer than the ones I originally polished off (2013 vs. 2012) and the fresher taste was noticeable. Only a few cracked/broken eggs, pretty good considering how thin and fragile the candy coating (some diabolical mixture of sugar and crack) is.

I was really excited initially when I found this 4-pack of Cadbury Mini-Eggs on Amazon. If you examine the time and lot stamp on the bags that you can purchase at the local store (e.g. Walmart) you will notice that these bags from Amazon are LAST YEAR's candy! The chocolate is hard and stale. I'm very disappointed. :-(

Most people probably already know if they like Cadbury Mini Eggs, but just in case you haven't tried them, they follow the premise of the M&M - chocolate interior, candy shell exterior. However, these are far superior to M&Ms because the quality of the milk chocolate is higher. The candy shells are not smooth and shiny, but that is in keeping with the egg theme as they are matte and egg shaped. Personally I would still eat them if they were completely white but they're pastel shaded, I guess for kids. As an adult with no children, I say whatever, just hand 'em over. They also have a faint vanilla flavor to them although I've never checked the ingredients. They're sugary perfection.

Overall they're the only Easter or indeed holiday candy I crave these days, since I have given up on most candy in general. The rest of the year I make do with dark chocolate bars. While it may seem odd to purchase a four pack when you don't have kids, understand I live in a rural area with few shopping options. I went to the store the day before Easter hoping to grab a bag or two on clearance, but they were completely sold out. Since Amazon had this four-pack listed for about 35% off with Prime shipping, it was kind of a no-brainer. I may give a bag or two away, but the price and free shipping were totally worth it.

Last note - these do not keep for long term, especially if you open them. I don't know if it's the lack of shiny coating or what, but it seems like after about two months in storage the chocolate starts to separate and they're not quite as tasty. So don't hold onto them for ages, just eat them as they are meant to be enjoyed!

I love the flavor of Cadbury chocolate so I was thrilled to find these here. Product has best by code indicating 11/2012, though. So if you buy, just be aware they might have a somewhat short shelf life. Worth it to me, though, so I'm going to buy another!

I love chocolate, period, and for it to be Cadbury I love it all the more. I have had many kinds of Chocolate over the years, one of my favorites was Nestles, but they are failing to get out a smooth chocolate these days. For me the one that takes the prize is Cadbury, I can consume this chocolate every day and not get tired of it.

These little eggs are just the right size to pop in our mouth. The children (my grand kiddies) just love them I tossed a few handfuls in their Easter basket again this holiday.
These eggs are smooth and flavorful, the candy coating on the outside is just sweet enough and just a little crunchy if you bite it off, they are just right. I believe all of Cadbury chocolate is good quality.

Love these candies, but when they arrived, the shells were almost all completely cracked off. I was planning on using them as shower favors but can't use the majority of them in this condition, and they aren't eligible for return. You're better off buying them in a store, if you can find them.

Many of the eggs were broken into several little pieces. When I but candy I do expect it to be the way it is represented.
