About this deal
Mondelez International - who own Cadbury - told The Sun that the price rises came as a result of increased costs. Cream Cheese – Important! Only use Philadelphia full fat original cream cheese. It’s the only one I’ve found to be stable enough to set the cheesecake. Cheaper and lighter versions might not set. (Trust me, I learnt the hard way!) Make sure you whip the cream to stiff peaks. As in, you can turn the bowl upside down and nothing falls out. Anything less and it could prevent your cheesecake from setting. The chocolate eggs varied in size significantly.

Moderately active - Do light to moderate intensity exercise 3-4 times a week. E.g. going to the gym / swimming / cycling / horse riding / dance classes / playing golf. Daily dog walking (brisk pace, twice a day). At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference, and mine is that Cadbury Mini Eggs really are inimitable, and are a real part of British culture at Spring time, and therefore, are the ultimate Easter treat.

Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver. Grease and line the base and sides of your springform pan with baking paper. Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to fine crumbs. Soften the cream cheese in a separate mixing bowl with a spatula. Add the caster sugar and beat again until it's no longer grainy on the bottom of the bowl (the sugar has dissolved). Caster Sugar –Also called superfine sugar in the US. Don’t substitute for granulated sugar as it’s crystals are bigger and might not dissolve as easily. My favourite is golden caster sugar for it’s slight caramel flavour.
Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave in 10 second intervals, then pour it in with the biscuit crumbs. Pulse until it starts to clump together.Carefully fold through the chopped mini eggs then pour into the tin and smooth the mixture out over the biscuit base. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, overnight is better. Compared to the originals, they were huge - probably double the size - but they were more brightly-coloured and didn't have the same powdery finish. Cadbury Mini Eggs, on the other hand, come in four shades - white, yellow, pink and lilac - a lovely spring colour palette. They have a slightly powdered appearance and an iconic scent, which the supermarket alternatives sadly failed to replicate, meaning children with the noses of a bloodhound may notice a switcheroo.
