The story of Cadbury Biscoff Bauble
The one that never makes the tree
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.
