Weight of a Cadbury's Mini Egg

As in title.

Don't supose anybody knows?

Doing a raffle at work where we have to guess how many are in a jar. Sad old me wants to find out the weight of one so I can calculate how many are in the jar.

buy a packet, read the side for the weight, and count the number of eggs inside.

save yourself time (but increase percentage error, by buying a small tube and not a bag)

don't forget to factor in the weight of the jar.

Great idea!

Anybody about to eat a small bag and willing to do a bit of counting?

why not just weigh one?

Inaccuracy.

The more you have the more accurate you're likely to be.

Weighing lots and dividing by the number of eggs is far more accurate

edit: damn you Gilly.

What? Was that in answer to the OP? Don't spam, or Burnsy will be onto you!

Approximately 3.33g per egg based on the nutritional information which states.. "Serving Size 12 pieces (40.0 g)"
