Cadbury Chocolate Cookie Mix - 265g

Cadbury is the chocolate most British people grew up on: the bar in the lunchbox, the one in the petrol station, the one that got split down the middle with a sibling. A cookie mix takes that familiar name off the shop shelf and puts it in your own oven.

Plenty of people in Canada go looking for it because a Cadbury bake tastes like a particular kitchen, a particular gran or a particular rainy half-term. Others have a British parent and want to show the kids what all the fuss was about.

It is a 265g pack that sits quietly in the cupboard until the afternoon calls for it. Store it as the pack says, make it up as the pack says, and keep an eye on whoever is standing too close to the mixing bowl.

People rarely stop at the mix. A bar of Dairy Milk tends to end up in the basket too, strictly for quality control, along with a box of proper tea for when the cookies come out.
