    Also noticed in M&S they sell
    bags of chocolate eclairs and the
    wrappers are gold foil,they were
    hanging on the racks by the tills
    so am guessing they must be something
    they sell all the time,handy to know as I
    struggled to find gold sweets in the shops
    near me

    There has to be a variation on the pots of gold that can be used for easter I'd have thought.............maye a mixture of gold wrapped sweets and chocolate buttons or something with maybe a little Easter chick popping out of the top?

    That's a great idea - like little nests! I remember little chocolate nests made from chocolate covered shredded wheat with mini-eggs and a little chick inside. They were yummy! I'm sure you can buy chocolate eggs in gold wrappers as well. Can't wait to see the ideas people come up with.... x
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    The only thing i can think of is replacing the gold coins etc with mini eggs?

    does anyone know what the sell
    by date on the gold coins is likely to be ?
    I noticed today that a lot of places
    had them reduced Asda had the larger
    Cadburys ones for 49p.

    what is the date for Easter this year ?

    These are all wonderful so today I decided to make some for my Dp's friends who are visiting us on New Years Eve this year, we didn't give each other Christmas presents so thought this was a nice touch.

    Here they are:
