Cadbury Milk Tray - 360g

Milk Tray sits in that very British category of chocolates you give rather than buy for yourself: the box for a teacher, for the neighbour who fed the cat, for your mum on Mother's Day. "And all because the lady loves Milk Tray" was on the telly for decades, and most people over a certain age can still finish the line.

In Canada, people go looking for it because a box of Milk Tray says something specific. It is the one your gran kept in the sideboard, the one that turned up at every family visit, and handing one over here feels like carrying a bit of home through the door.

The 360g box is a proper sharing size, enough for the whole room to get a go (and a polite argument about the last one). Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator, and it sits happily in the cupboard until there is an occasion, or until you decide a Tuesday counts.

If you are putting together a parcel of British chocolate, it goes nicely alongside a few bars of Cadbury Dairy Milk, the bar the whole Cadbury story is built on.
