Recent when in one of the bargain stores in the UK I saw some of the left over treats from Easter which were now being sold at what seemed to be a clearance price. One of those was the colourfully packaged and rather noisy sounding "Smarties Shakers". Coming in a plastic packet the product sounded more like a babies rattle than something edible though with the "Smarties" branding on the packet it was obvious that this was one of Nestle's stand out products. The product comes in a small plastic packet, as opposed to the normal Smarties cardboard tubes that have become almost an iconic packaging on the shelves of sweets shops. Inside the ...  Read the complete review

It's Easter, or rather it was, and with it I received a slightly lower compliment of eggs than usual - although it was by choice, as I am currently trying to lose weight. The Smarties egg is ideal as it is a smaller egg than some, meaning you can treat yourself without feeling too bad. Packaging: Nestle are moving into the recycling era and unlike other egg packages, this one is completely without plastic. The outer box is brightly coloured, mainly blue with smarties on it. There is a small window in the cardboard which allows a tantalising glimpse of gold to be seen. When shaken, the box rattles - there are indeed Smarties about the egg! When I opened ...  Read the complete review

Despite knowing Easter was on its way I was not organised enough to buy him and egg from me so after finding very little left in Tesco's we went to the co- op and discovered a shelf full of eggs so gave my son the choice of eggs. My son does have a strange obsession with anything to do with Eggs so was delighted to see rows of chocolate eggs. He picked out the shaker Smarties egg partly because it was the only egg he could pick up and make a noise and also as he loved the design with a monster on the front of the box. I personally was delighted he picked such a small egg which weighs 990gand was able to buy a couple of Maltesers eggs to go with it for his ...  Read the complete review

Following the lead of the first person that reviewed this egg, It is for the mini shaker egg and not the bigger one as pictured. Thanks to my son for eating this egg and letting me sample some for the review. I afraid I wouldn't buy this to eat myself as not enough chocolate to bite into. Smarties shakers are small eggs slighter smaller then a Cadbury creme egg. These are made by Nestle though. The wrapper is quite full in your face if you understand what I mean, It has the Nestle logo a picture of a chocolate egg with the smarties in and around and smarties shakers written over it too with a blue background. The egg itself is a medium thickness of ...  Read the complete review

When I went into Cost Cutter yesterday they had reduced all Cream Egg sized eggs and you could buy any 4 for £1.00, they'd got a MASSIVE selection so I ended up spending a fiver on them and filling the biscuit tin up for a treat for everyone. I got a few of these Smarties Shaker Eggs because it's the only one my 2 year old sister can have without getting into too much of a mess with them. The filled eggs make too much mess in a toddlers hands so this Smarties one is perfect because it's just a chocolate shell with mini Smarties inside it. They come in little bags instead of being wrapped in foil and this isn't the one in the photo Dooyoo have got up, like I ...  Read the complete review
