JOHN McLELLANSmaller than their rivals but with a perfectly crisp coating and smooth filling that are packed with childhood nostalgia[/caption]
Nestle Smarties Mini Eggs £1 (80g): 3/5

JOHN McLELLANThe filling of these dismal eggs from the US firm looks like mouldy cheese and didn’t taste much better either[/caption]

Nestle KitKat Mini Eggs £1 (81g): 2/5

Nestle Aero Chocolate Mini Eggs, £1 (80g): 2/5
JOHN McLELLANCreamy chocolate hit and unique texture which will have you reaching for more. I just wished they were bigger[/caption]
Cadbury’s Daim Mini Eggs, £1 (77g): 3/5
JOHN McLELLANBigger and harder to bite than the rest, but they deliver a crackly punch thanks to the chunks of Daim inside[/caption]
Cadbury Oreo Egg in mixed pack of five £1.75 (191g): 1/5
JOHN McLELLANBiggest of the bunch but hard to bite into and the Oreo centre is tasteless[/caption]
