Cadbury Snowy Fingers - 115g

Fingers have been a fixture of British biscuit tins for generations: children's parties, lunchboxes, the plate that comes out when someone pops round. The snowy version is the seasonal one, the box that appears on UK shelves in the run-up to Christmas, sitting near the selection boxes and the tins.

People in Canada come looking for them because of a specific memory. A plate at a grandparent's on Boxing Day, a box tucked in a stocking, the one biscuit that only showed up when it was cold outside. A British Christmas a long way from home is built from small things like this.

It is a box of slim biscuit fingers, each one in its white coat, easy to share and easy to lose track of. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator, so the chocolate stays crisp. They go with tea, on a party plate, or straight from the box during the film.

Plenty of people buy them alongside the original milk chocolate Fingers, for the relative who does not hold with change. A box of proper British tea next to them is never a bad idea either.
