Cadbury Milk Tray - 312g

In Britain, Milk Tray is the box of chocolates for the occasions that deserve something but not a fuss: a visit, a birthday, a neighbour who fed the cat. Dairy Milk is the bar you eat yourself. Milk Tray is the one with a lid that you hand to someone else.

Plenty of people in Canada look for it because that purple box on the coffee table is part of home. If you remember the man in black going to absurd lengths to deliver one, all because the lady loves Milk Tray, you already know why.

This is the 312g box of assorted chocolates, which is a good size for sharing and a dangerous size for one. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and the sunny windowsill. It needs no wrapping to look like you made an effort, and it sits neatly in a parcel.

Most people who buy a box for someone else add a bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk for themselves, on the grounds that the Milk Tray is a gift and opening it would be rude.
