Nestlé Kitkat Two Finger Gingerbread Flavour - 165g

In Britain the KitKat is furniture. It lives in the office biscuit tin, the lunchbox and the glovebox, and the two finger is the standard issue. The seasonal flavours are the exception that gets people talking, and gingerbread sits on the British Christmas sweet aisle right next to the selection boxes.

Most people searching for this one in Canada met it on a December trip home, or found it tucked into a parcel from someone who knows them well. Then they came back and went looking for it. That is usually how it goes.

It is a 165g pack of two-finger bars, which is enough to share and not quite enough to stop arguments. Keep it somewhere cool and away from the radiator. It does well in stockings, in the Boxing Day cupboard and next to a cup of tea when everyone has finally sat down.

It tends to go in the basket with the other British Christmas food people miss: a proper box of tea, a UK selection box, something in a tin to pass round after dinner. Think of it as the warm-up act.
