Cadbury Fudge - 15 Pack

Cadbury Fudge has lived in British lunchboxes and corner-shop counters for decades: a small finger of soft fudge in a thin coat of Cadbury chocolate. It is the bar you were allowed when you were not allowed a big bar. That was the whole point.

People in Canada search for it because the memory is oddly precise. The chew, the size, the advert song you can still sing word for word and would rather nobody heard. Nothing else scratches that particular itch, so you go looking for the real one.

This is a 15 pack, so fifteen bars in one go. They keep happily in a cool cupboard, away from the radiator and away from anyone who knows where you hide things. Lunchboxes, the car, the desk drawer, the cup of tea at four o'clock: one bar is about right, which is rarely where it stops.

It tends to go into the basket alongside other childhood Cadbury favourites and a box of proper British tea. Fudge with a brew is a perfectly sound plan.
