Re: UK style chocolate Easter Eggs in US?
I got mine at the British Isles shop here in Houston this week. Celebrations for the dude at a whopping $18 and a small creme egg one for hubby, think it was $7 or $8. I got 6 maltesers bunny's 
. What is the collective name for a bunch of bunnies? a warren, a bounce.....

A proper chocolate egg has treats inside, and usually a mug.

If you're feeling generous, you could always try Hotel Chocolat.

The sale and import of Kinder Surprise is banned in the US.

What I dont' get is how things like King Cake can be sold, with that stupid plastic baby inside, if this ban is about inedible toys in food items.

Going by the King Cake we shipped from New Orleans recently, the little plastic baby is loose in the box and you have to hide it in the cake yourself, it isn't baked in.

I had to google that (never heard of it). No idea what it tastes like, but it looks disgusting.

Saw some in the British shop in Houston:

But looks like it's too late to order online now...so not sure how much use that will be to you!
They were pretty pricey but were the real deal (proper Cadburys...)
