Where can I buy mini Cadbury eggs?

During the springtime, you can find mini Cadbury eggs at most grocery stores. In major stores like Target and WalMart, you can find them in the seasonal department with the other Easter candies.

Won’t the whole Cadbury eggs melt in the oven?

Because of the outer shell on the mini Cadbury eggs, they won’t melt in the oven! The inside does get melty and delicious, but the crunchy outside holds them together.
