A worried mum has issued a stark warning over the dangers of giving Cadbury Mini Eggs to young children ahead of Easter Sunday, as she said the small chocolate treats can pose a choking hazard.
Millions of us will be tucking into a variety of chocolate this weekend, but for the little ones among us, extra care should be taken when enjoying the small egg-shaped chocolates with hard sugar shells.
The mum posted her warning to parents on her Facebook page, Nanny Valentine - Child Behaviour Coach, and said that much like grapes, Mini Eggs should be cut in half before they are given to a young child to reduce the risk of them choking.
