How to hold an Easter Egg Hunt at home {with a little help from Cadbury}

Posted on April 12, 2017 by jenny

Did you know a whopping 255,000 Cadbury Easter Eggs are made at the Bournville factory every day? That’s 10,625 Cadbury Easter Eggs made per hour… and 177 per minute! I’m sure that’s something my children would love to see as they just can’t get enough Easter eggs at this time of year. In fact it’s safe…
