What I was meaning was more 'canadian' cadbury's.

There are a few places to buy British chocolate
Atrium on the Bay
Dundas and Quebec
Eglinton and Yonge
to name but a few

but I make a monthly order at abitofhome.ca

Oh no, I agree with you that it's very different. I just mean the creme eggs are all the same because they're imports. I did eat a lot of Canadian Cadbury's in Winnipeg and was almost getting a taste for it

And then I went to the UK and pigged out on the good stuff again

Re: Following on about Creme Eggs...

Getting them from shops is all well and good, but what I require is *volume*. I don't want one or two titbits from home, I want a supply that's going to last me months. That's why when I get to GTA (and we're out of debt) we're making a regular order with one of the expat shops. Only manufactured in the UK, thank you!

Re: Following on about Creme Eggs...

Today, I found a shop in Roncesvalles that sold half-price Creme Egg easter eggs! So I have got 2 of my favourite things! For only $5! I also got some 'proper' mini eggs as well.
