Re: God Bless Target
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.

Re: God Bless Target
A poxy on whomever started this thread. I had to drive out to Walgreens late last night (midnight! ) because of the urge to have some.
Anyone try those mini-eggs from Cadbury's? I usually buy enough to last me the year!!!

Re: God Bless Target
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..)

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

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

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.
