Maltesers Truffles Gift Box - 200g

Maltesers sit near the top of the British sweet shop, right next to the bag that went along the cinema row and somehow came back empty. The truffles are the grown-up cousin, boxed for the moments when a bag looks a bit like you grabbed it at the petrol station.

People in Canada go looking for them when a birthday, a thank-you or a visit from someone back home is coming up, and they want a gift that tastes like Britain rather than one that just looks nice on the table.

It is a 200g gift box, ready to hand over as it is, no wrapping skills required. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator and from anyone who knows which cupboard you hide things in. It goes rather well with a cup of tea after dinner, or passed round the sofa during something long on the telly.

Plenty of people pick up a bag of the original Maltesers at the same time, for themselves, since the box is technically for someone else. A packet of proper British tea alongside does no harm either.
