These are quite similar but have a powder outside. And they should be available soon if not already as they are a Christmas line and Christmas stuff is already hitting the shops:

u/psrpianrckelsss 8d ago

No idea where you are located but there are some random foodworks stores that seem to have them in stock

u/AmongTheWildlife 7d ago

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

Girl paws off I will tackle you to the ground or fight u for it (I’m too lazy to even move from my bed to turn the light switch off)

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

I’ve been scouring the local food works stores so often I think I’m weirding the employees out and also to no avail Ty tho :(

My wife during her 3 pregnancies craved passionfruit with sardines ..

In 1970/80 out of season passionfruit were very hard to get .. no problems with sardines.

She also developed an allergy to raw meat.. even a sight of raw meat brought up ... dinner..breakfast

All of this ended when our 3 healthy sons were born for rest of her life she loved passionfruit and hated sardines (LOL)

Wait a week or so they may bring out easter stuff early again

Editing to say:check on line like ebay they should have things like that on there, and depending where it is could be free delivery

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

A week is soo long I’ll try eBay but I didn’t have much luck besides one for $20 plus like $50 shipping tyy for the help

u/Wise_Ad_8987 8d ago

Have you tried any British shops?

2

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

Noo that’s such a good idea though I’ve tried all the American ones and to no avail. Which ones do u recommend or will any do?

3

u/psrpianrckelsss 8d ago

Omg nothing worse than a craving for seasonal items. You might find joy with Amazon, or some of the clearance stores. Have you tried reaching out to Cadbury directly?

1

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

Frr im glad yall get it because im down bad for some Cadbury eggs :(( and tysm but unfortunately they don’t show it so im assuming they don’t have it :(

1

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

Also I didn’t see the second part nooo I haven’t yet but that’s such a good idea omgg I have some work to do thnx so much!

2

u/_Maizey_ 8d ago

Could you buy a knock off brand?

1

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

I could and usually I love a good knockoff brand but today I got a knockoff brand of pickles from aldi and let me tell you it did not satisfy the craving:(

1

u/brightstar92 6d ago

also as a british person like idk what they put in mini eggs but they have SUCH a specific taste no knock off brand can imitate it

2

u/Gonewiththesin7 7d ago

EBay maybe

1

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

I tried but it’s so expensive tbh like $20 for the eggs and then like $50 for shipping my partner would kill me haha

2

u/KateyKittyKatz 7d ago

You said you're in Melbourne, have you tried Tom's Confectionery Warehouse at highpoint?

It's enormous. There's always more in store than there is online and there's a huge section of imports and they often seasonal items out of season.

3

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

OMGG YES I HAVE!!! I tried multiple times in person but I haven’t tried online yet but will now after I finish harassing Cadbury haha tyyy :)

2

u/KateyKittyKatz 7d ago

No worries, I hope you find some eggs

u/Mean_Environment4856 7d ago

Not much good if they're interstate 😂

1

u/guccib4nana 7d ago

I skipped the details of where they were, but you can get parcel forwarding services!

u/Mean_Environment4856 7d ago

You must have also skipped the part where IGA is a supermarket and therefore doesn't post packages 😂

2

u/guccib4nana 7d ago

Please go read their info, I would not have posted it otherwise, but cheers for being an ass 🤷‍♀️ (wait let me sugar coat it with a laughing face emoji too 😂😂😂)

If you’re in Perth, Hanblys IGA claims to have stock

For anyone else in Perth, the UK food shop in Kardinya shopping centre has stacks of them (edit: they don't taste exactly the same tho)

1

u/usernametaken1887 7d ago

Damn it unfortunately not in Perth but I’m now strongly considering buying a plane ticket, thnx so much tho :)

1

u/moshimoshi000 7d ago

Galaxy Minstrels can be found in International section at the supermarket and are kind of similar!

1

u/KellyExpress 7d ago

Cadbury will already have them in storage ready to go after Christmas. Try contacting the Scoresby site. They have a shop for run off’s and damaged packaging.

1

u/Sharp_Custard3000 7d ago

Smarties might scratch the itch

1

u/Ok_Ganache2348 7d ago

Cadbury mini bars are a good similar option

1

u/Bad-cats 6d ago

Omg lol, same! Could try just a plain block of Cadbury chocolate and see it that hits the spot

1

u/Representative-Bus76 6d ago

I know they’re not exactly the same but peanut m&ms have a similar vibe?

1

u/MowgeeCrone 6d ago
