Easter is a huge time for chocolate obsessives. Supermarket shelves are loaded floor to ceiling with chocolate eggs of all shapes, sizes and flavours – from bitesize caramel-filled eggs to monstrous, pistachio-flavoured eggs larger than your head. But this year, the largest chocolate egg of the lot isn’t in a supermarket. It’s on special display in Bournville. 

Last year, Cadbury’s unveiled a colossal Creme Egg which, at three feet tall, was the largest in the world. Now, the brand has supersized the Mini Egg. The Mega Mini Egg stands at 70 centimetres tall and weighs a mammoth 55kg, which is roughly the same weight as an adult cheetah.

A team of three master chocolatiers worked on the enormous creation for two days. Just like the Mini Eggs we know and love, it’s a hunk of Cadbury milk chocolate encased in a pink speckled sugar shell. 

Claire Fielding, one of the chocolatiers involved, said: ‘After the amazing reaction to last year’s gigantic Cadbury Creme Egg, we knew we had to craft something just as fantastic for 2026. Cadbury Mini Eggs are another absolute favourite and a British Easter staple, so creating the Mega Mini Egg felt like the perfect next challenge.

‘We took that instantly recognisable shell and chocolate centre and scaled it up into a real showstopper. It’s been so rewarding seeing it come to life, and we can’t wait for visitors to come and see it in person this Easter.’

Visitors to Cadbury World will get to see the giant egg for themselves throughout the Easter holidays (March 30 until April 12). We know what you’re thinking, and the answer is no. Sadly, no one will get to take a bite out of it.
