Cadbury Milk Chocolate Fingers Box - 114g

Fingers sit somewhere between a biscuit and a chocolate bar, which is exactly why they turn up everywhere in Britain: party tables, lunchboxes, the plate next to the teapot when guests come round. They are the biscuit nobody has to be talked into.

People in Canada search for them by name because that is the name in their head. A Finger is a Finger, and for anyone who grew up with them it has to say Cadbury on the box. One bite and you are sitting on a nan's settee with the telly on.

It is a box rather than a bag, so they mostly make it to the cupboard in one piece. Keep them somewhere cool and dry and they will last right up until someone finds them. Lay them on a plate, dunk them in tea, or stand them round the edge of a birthday cake like a little chocolate fence, which is practically a British parenting tradition.

Cadbury goes well beyond Fingers, of course. They tend to end up in the same basket as a box of proper British tea and a bar or two of Cadbury Dairy Milk, because one taste of home rarely stays on its own.
