Each one is creamy milk chocolate with a mystery toy inside, which is the combination that has kept these popular for decades. Kids get a treat and an unwrapping moment in a single hit.
Turning up with a box of 24 makes you comfortably the most popular adult at any Easter gathering, which is worth considering if you have nieces and nephews to impress.
At 20 grams each they’re a snack rather than a sugar event, so you can hand one over without writing off the rest of the afternoon.
That also makes them ideal for rationing. One a day through the week after Easter keeps the peace far more effectively than a single large egg demolished before breakfast.
The current batch carries popular cartoon characters on the packaging, which adds to the excitement before they’ve even opened anything — half the appeal for younger kids is the wrapper.
Twenty-four covers an egg hunt, several baskets, a classroom or a party bag run, so you’re buying flexibility rather than committing to one use.
They’re individually wrapped and robust enough to be hidden around a garden without falling apart, which is more than can be said for a hollow foil egg.
Before you buy, do check with the other parents if these are going into party bags. The toy inside isn’t suitable for under-threes, and it’s far easier to ask beforehand than to apologise afterwards.
