I thought, surely if I can't find NZ made eggs, I won't be able to find NZ made chocolate molds so I jumped on Trademe to see if there were any second hand ones going.
I didn't find any second hand ones but did find a couple who run a business called Homestyle Chocolates. They make everything from chocolates to molds. You can even order personalised molds! In Christchurch they sell out of Spotlight, Bin Inn and Icing Specialists.
Unfortunately I lost track of time and suddenly there were public holidays all over the place so I never got a chance to grab some molds. Thankfully though I found Cadbury's marshmallow eggs are made here. I had assumed they weren't as all the other Cadbury eggs I looked at were made overseas, mostly in the UK.
Apparently The Warehouse had a good selection of NZ made easter eggs too. I didn't get a chance to get there before they sold out (I thought they would have the same range as the supermarket) but according to my flatmate there were quite a few there with the "made in New Zealand" logo on them.

What about Richfield chocolate? As you might remember I had a summer job many years ago working at that factory, where the eggs were made and I had to foil them. Or do they no longer make eggs anymore? I don't know, as I didn't get any Easter eggs this year :(
Whittakers is definately NZ made chocolate, but they've never really seemed to be into the Easter thing.
Obviously we don't grow cocoa beans or sugar here - but the milk must be local, surely!!
I love marshmallow easter eggs.
