Cadbury created a Mega Mini Egg for Easter — here’s where you’ll find it
It’s safe to say we have a bit of an obsession with Mini Eggs here at Metro.
You only have to look as far as our supermarket taste test which highly rated Cadbury’s Mini Eggs, with just the Marks & Spencer’s Speckled Eggs pipping them to the post by a single point on price.
But in even bigger news, Cadbury has unveiled the world’s largest Mini Egg, dubbed the Mega Mini Egg, which weighs a whopping 55kg.
For context, that’s apparently the same weight as an adult cheetah, a large Western grey kangaroo, or a giant armadillo.
In other words, this single chocolate egg is equivalent to 743 bags of Mini Eggs, which is a serious amount of chocolate.
It measures in at around 70cm tall and is now on show at Birmingham’s Cadbury World until April 12.
Created by the confectionary brand’s in-house chocolatiers Claire Fielding, Dawn Jenks and Donna Pitt, it took two days to complete.
The egg features the iconic pastel pink sugar-coating crisp shell and subtle speckles scattered across the surface. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.
The sadly not for sale or consumption egg is just a show piece, which like us, you may find disheartening.
It was invented due to popular demand though, after Cadbury created a giant Creme Egg for Easter last year which it claimed was the same height as an emperor penguin and weighed about 45kg.
‘After the amazing reaction to last year’s gigantic Cadbury Creme Egg, we knew we had to craft something just as fantastic for 2026,’ chocolatier Claire Fielding says.
‘Cadbury Mini Eggs are another absolute favourite and a British Easter staple, so creating the Mega Mini Egg felt like the perfect next challenge.
‘We took that instantly recognisable shell and chocolate centre and scaled it up into a real showstopper.’

Seeing it in person is going to cost you more than your average bag of Mini Eggs, with a standard ticket for Cadbury World costing £19 if you pre-book (which the website says is essential).
If you’re a family of four, it’ll be £68 or more to visit this very large egg, so it’s not the cheapest outing.
The best edible mini eggs
If all this Mega Mini Egg talk has made you a little peckish and Birmingham is a little far to travel, head to your local supermarket instead.
As mentioned, our taste test crowned Marks & Spencer’s Speckled Eggs the best Mini Eggs on the market, coming in at 25p cheaper than Cadbury Mini Eggs.
Just a point behind was Cadbury, though, proving that despite them being slightly pricier, the taste and appearance is pretty unmatched.
In third place was Lidl’s Mister Choc Mini Eggs, which lost out on a higher spot because they were ‘overly sweet’ and ‘a little artificial’.
Poppets Poppeggs came in fourth place while The Crackin’ Up Mini Chocolate Speckled Eggs from Morrisons came in fifth.
So, what are you waiting for? Go and indulge.
