Cadbury Dairy Milk Mint Crisp - 54g

In the Dairy Milk family it is the one with a crunch. It is a cousin of the plain bar rather than an after-dinner mint, the sort of thing you eat on a Tuesday afternoon for no reason at all.

People in Canada search for it by name because they remember that crunch exactly. A minty chocolate is not the same thing as this one. The memory is the cool crackle under the Dairy Milk, and only this bar has it.

It is a single 54g bar, the size that sits in a coat pocket or a desk drawer and never lasts long in either. Keep it somewhere cool and out of the sun. Some swear by ten minutes in the fridge first, for an extra snap when you break a square off.

It tends to go into the basket alongside a plain Dairy Milk for the purist in the house and a box of proper tea bags, because a mint chocolate and a hot cup of tea were always a fine way to waste an afternoon.
