At Cadbury World in Birmingham, Cadbury unveiled the world's largest Cadbury Mini Egg—the Mega Mini Egg—which stands over 27 inches tall and weighs more than 120 pounds, or about the same weight as an adult cheetah.
Painstakingly handcrafted by chocolatiers Claire Fielding, Dawn Jenks, and Donna Pitt over the course of two days, the large egg is faithful to the small seasonal treat that inspired it, complete with a solid milk chocolate core and a pink-hued sugar shell speckled with darker flecks.
The Mega Mini Egg, currently on display in Cadbury World's Chocolate Making area, is a creation that was highly requested by fans after Cadbury created a giant Creme Egg last year.
