The tree looks finished. Then somebody hangs a chocolate on it, and suddenly nobody can walk past without checking it is still there.
The Cadbury Biscoff Bauble is that chocolate: Cadbury and Biscoff together, shaped like a bauble, small enough to hang and far too good to stay hung for long.
It is the sort of thing that turns up in a British stocking or on a UK Christmas tree, and it is hard to find once you have moved away. This is the UK one, and it ships from within Canada.
Hang it up. Give it a day. That is about the record.
Frequently asked questions about Cadbury Biscoff Bauble
Q: How big is it?
A: It is one bauble, 33.5g. Enough for one person, or two if somebody is feeling generous, which at Christmas is rare.
Q: Is it a good stocking filler?
A: It is about as good as stocking fillers get. Small, British and gone by breakfast.
Q: Is it good to send as a gift?
A: Very. For someone who misses a UK Christmas, a Cadbury bauble says more than a card ever could, and it takes up a lot less room.
More about Cadbury Biscoff Bauble
Chocolate on the tree is one of those quiet rules of a British Christmas. Nobody writes it down, everybody follows it, and a Cadbury one is about as traditional as it gets.
Christmas in Canada can feel close to home until you look at the tree and something is missing. People come looking for this bauble because they want the tree to look like the one they grew up with, or because they are sending a small taste of home to someone who misses it.
It is a single bauble, a one-person chocolate, at least in theory. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator and the fairy lights, and it will sit happily in the cupboard until it is needed. Hang it, drop it in a stocking, or leave it by a place setting on Christmas Day and watch who notices first.
It rarely travels alone. People tend to pick it up with a selection box for Christmas morning or a tin for passing round after dinner, and a couple of extra baubles for anyone who might feel left out.

A handy shortcut to the British favourites flying out the door.
A bauble is meant to hang on the tree. This one rarely gets that far. You know how it goes: the chocolate baubles go up on Christmas Eve, and by Boxing Day there are suspicious gaps on the lower branches and a small cousin with a very innocent face. Cadbury has been part of a British Christmas for as long as most of us can remember, so finding a Cadbury bauble for a tree in Canada is a small, daft, proper joy. Biscoff on the label, Cadbury on the wrapper. Sorted.

A grocer on Bull Street
It started with a shop. John Cadbury opened a grocer's at 93 Bull Street in Birmingham in 1824, selling tea, coffee and drinking chocolate he prepared himself. He was a Quaker, and he promoted drinking chocolate partly as a respectable alternative to alcohol, which is one way to sell a hot drink. From 1831 the business moved into factory production of cocoa and drinking chocolate on Bridge Street, Birmingham. A man with a shop and firm views on the pub. You can see where this is going.
Brothers, cocoa and a village with no pub
His sons, Richard and George, took over in 1861. They adopted a Dutch cocoa-pressing method and launched the purer 'Cocoa Essence' in 1866. In 1879 they opened a purpose-built factory at Bournville, south-west of Birmingham, and George developed Bournville into a model village for the firm's workers, famous for having no public houses. Their father would have approved. Then came Cadbury Dairy Milk in 1905, the company's best-selling product by 1914, and the rest of us have been reaching for a bar ever since.
Still Birmingham, still Christmas
Cadbury merged with J. S. Fry & Sons in 1919, and with Schweppes in 1969 to form Cadbury Schweppes. Kraft Foods acquired Cadbury in 2010, and it is now part of Mondelez International, created when Kraft split in 2012. Through all of that, Cadbury chocolate is still made in Britain today at the historic Bournville factory in Birmingham. Which is a comfort when you are hanging a Cadbury bauble on a tree in Halifax, Calgary or Kelowna, and trying very hard not to eat it before anyone else arrives.
