Nestlé Black Magic - 174g

In Britain, Black Magic lives in the proper boxed chocolates aisle, the place you go when a bar from the till will not do. It has long been the darker, more serious choice next to the brighter boxes of milk chocolates.

People in Canada search for it because it was the box at their nan's, or the one they always bought their mum, and a box of chocolates is one of those things that has to be the right one. Close enough does not count when you know exactly what the lid looks like.

This 174g box is a good size for giving without looking like you are trying to win something. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and the sunny windowsill, and it waits happily in the cupboard for the right occasion. Or for Tuesday.

If you are putting together a parcel of home for someone, it sits nicely next to a good packet of tea and some proper British biscuits. Nestlé makes plenty more from the British sweet shop too, so there is no need to stop at one box.
