Cadbury Christmas Puds 5 Pack - 175g

Cadbury's seasonal shapes are part of the run-up to a British Christmas, as fixed as the advent calendar and the selection box. The puds are the cheeky one: a chocolate nod to the pudding that most people only eat out of loyalty.

In Canada, these get searched for by people who want December to feel like the one they remember. Some want them for their own stocking. Some want their kids to know what the fuss was about. Plenty send them as a Christmas gift for someone who misses home and would never admit it.

It is a five pack, 175g in all, so they split easily between stockings or stay together as one very small present. Keep them somewhere cool and out of the sun, and ideally out of sight if you want any left by Boxing Day.

They tend to land in the basket with the rest of a UK Christmas: a selection box for the morning, a tin to pass round in the afternoon, and something from the wider Cadbury range for whoever claims they did not want anything.
