I succumbed. With coupon in hand I bought nine British made Cadburys Creme Eggs at my local Walgreens for $3.00 (3 for $1.00).

The other half (the USC) couldn't understand why I bought them but I will probably give them to coworkers for Easter.

A poxy on whomever started this thread. I had to drive out to Walgreens late last night (midnight! :D) because of the urge to have some.

Anyone try those mini-eggs from Cadbury's? I usually buy enough to last me the year!!!

Target also carries UK after eights for those missing the after curry mint experience. ;) AND... for those of you yearning for proper Earl Gray tea, lose leaf without that bag taste, World Market/Cost plus sells it for a price cheaper than in the UK. World Market carries a variety of UK products including that well loved Ribena. To check for a store location near you just follow this link, type in your zip code, and enjoy a taste of home. (They carry McVie hob knobs too + more..)

I want to kiss you for giving me the location of a place that sells Ribena 5 miles from our home - no more hyperactive kids strung out on US "pop" :)

Where are you in CA ?

All the mini eggs I've seen (in dark blue bags) have been made by Hersheys and thus, manufactured in the USA so I won't touch them.

The same is true for the mini Creme Eggs (in a kind of box). They're made by Hersheys too.

Fry's grocery stores are also selling the real eggs marked "made in England". I think they were two for a dollar today?.

Hey NC, I just bought some mini creme eggs in boxes that are made in the UK - again that was in Target.

On further investigation I have found that my local Tom Thumb (which I think might be Safeway in other states) has the English Creme Eggs in the boxes of four but they are more expensive than the ones in Target. Their Caramel Eggs are made here in the US though as are their eggs they are selling individually.

Unfortunately Target does not have mini eggs (the ones with the hard shells and chocolate inner) that are made in England - they are all made for Hersheys in the US.

We spotted the Cadbury Creme Eggs today at Target...hubby was impressed with the 'manufactured in England' by-line. :)

My local Pavilions (Vons) has had them for a couple of weeks. I was just gonna line up my little sister who's coming to visit next month from the UK to bring over a "few" as well!

My mum and sister are coming in April and my mum has been filling a suitcase with chocolate for weeks... At the last count she already had 40 Creme Eggs.

I daren't tell her we can get them here now!

I'm fussy about my choccies, but the Cadbury's mini eggs taste just like you would be used to. Try them. They're excellent. I won't touch any choccies here, (excepting those and sometimes the Coconut Treasures), unless they're Brit/S.A. choccies.
