The ‘world’s largest’ Mini Egg weighing nine stone – the same size as a cheetah – has been produced for Easter week at Cadbury World.
It will be on display at the chocolate-themed park in Bournville, Birmingham, from Monday for fans to see.
The 70cm milk chocolate egg is encased in a speckled, pastel pink, crisp sugar-coated shell and will be available to view until Sunday, April 12.
A standard bag of Mini Eggs currently weighs just 74g in comparison.
Cadbury World’s chocolatiers Claire Fielding, Dawn Jenks and Donna Pitt made the Easter treat over two days.
Ms Fielding 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.’
Last year Cadbury World featured a 90cm Creme Egg, which weighed 45kg and was entirely made of real chocolate.
Chocolatiers claimed it was around the height of an emperor penguin.

Ms Fielding added: ‘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.’
Cadbury World is set in the chocolate company’s original home of Bournville, where chocolatiers first began producing treats over a century ago.
Visitors can learn about the craft and heritage of the iconic brand, including the history of the cocoa bean.
