Our local real chocolate shop makes and sells them. Maybe you have something similar nearby?

I've never found them - they don't seem culturally a thing here. Perhaps it reminds them too much that an Easter/ Spring festival has roots and symbolism that extend back way before the invention of Christianity.
You can't get Kinder Surprise eggs either, due to a federal law that bans the sale of food with non-food items concealed within them, due to the 'never heard of it happening in Europe' chance of a toddler eating the plastic canister. We had a lovely family tradition in the UK/ Switzerland of an egg hunt where each kid got their number of years age in eggs, but sadly can't do it here
(Ok, it's not like we'd be able to do that in here in AZ anyway, as it's already topped 90 degrees...)

I am sure if congress felt the pressure from the public, they might change it, but if the 2012 petition on the white house website is any indication, there really isn't great care from the public over it.
This company though figured out a way to legally produce chocolate eggs with a toy included.
I am sure if Ferraro really wanted the US market they could have figured it out, or maybe buy this company?
Choco Treasure - Chocolate eggs and balls with a toy surprise. Now available in the USA

Do you mean just the large hollow chocolate eggs? Every grocery store near me has tons of smaller chocolate eggs right now.
