A selection box is the only breakfast nobody argues with on Christmas morning. The Maltesers Small Selection Box is the one you remember finding near the bottom of the stocking, just under the satsuma.
You open it before the presents. Somebody tells you not to. You do it anyway.
It is a small box of Maltesers, light and malty and gone in about four minutes flat. Rattle it once and you are eight again, in your pyjamas, on the stairs.
A little taste of a British Christmas, for when home is a long way off.
Frequently asked questions about Maltesers Small Selection Box
Q: Is this the British Maltesers selection box?
A: It is. This is the UK Maltesers Small Selection Box, and it ships from within Canada, so you are not waiting on a parcel crossing the Atlantic.
Q: How big is it?
A: It is the small one, 73g. Made to slip into a stocking, not to replace Christmas dinner.
Q: Does it make a good gift?
A: It makes a very good Christmas gift for someone who misses home. Expect a small, delighted silence while they work out which Christmas morning it reminds them of.
More about Maltesers Small Selection Box
The selection box is as much a part of a UK Christmas as the cracker joke nobody laughs at. Every child got one, usually from a grandparent, often several, and the unofficial rule was that it could be eaten at any hour on the big day without comment.
In Canada, people go looking for it because the ritual is half the point. The box with the window in the front, the stocking with something rectangular in the toe: that is what Christmas morning looked like, and it is nice when it still does.
This is the small one, a proper stocking filler that will not ruin anyone's appetite for dinner (in theory). Keep it somewhere cool and dry until the day, well away from the radiator and the warm glow of the tree lights, because chocolate has opinions about both.
One box rarely goes far in a family. Most people buy a few: one per stocking, plus one for the grown-up who insists they do not want one and then quietly eats it on Boxing Day.
