Cadbury Fingers are super popular chocolate biscuits! They are a favorite treat in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Each Finger is a long, thin biscuit stick covered in yummy chocolate.
These tasty biscuits are made in the United Kingdom by the Burton's Biscuit Company. They are sold by Cadbury UK. You can find Cadbury Fingers in many places around the world. They are sold in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Since 2013, people in Australia can also enjoy them.
Cadbury Fingers usually come in rectangular boxes. Inside, the biscuits are neatly placed in a plastic tray. Sometimes you can find bigger boxes with two or even three trays! A typical box has about 24 Fingers.
The Cadbury Fingers we know today were first launched in 1951. But a very similar biscuit was actually made way back in 1897! It was part of a special collection of Cadbury biscuits. Today, Cadbury Fingers is a very successful brand. It's one of the top brands for special treat biscuits.
Each Cadbury Finger has about 30 calories. It also contains a small amount of fat and carbohydrates. Cadbury suggests that one serving is about four fingers.

How Cadbury Fingers Are Advertised
Cadbury Fingers have had some fun advertisements over the years!
Famous Comedians in the 1990s
In the 1990s, famous comedians like Michael Barrymore and Barry Humphries (as his character Dame Edna Everage) appeared in adverts. They sang songs about Cadbury Fingers. They often mentioned that the chocolate coating was delicious Cadbury Dairy Milk.
The "It's a Finger Thing" Campaign
In the early to mid-2000s, the adverts featured a main character: a Thumb! This Thumb always tried to stop people from eating Cadbury Fingers. But, of course, the plan never worked! The slogan for this campaign was "It's a finger thing." These adverts even came with a sticker of a face that you could put on your own thumb!
The "One May Lead to Another" Slogan
In late 2006, the packaging for Cadbury Fingers was updated to look simpler. A new slogan appeared: "one may lead to another." The adverts showed how one Finger would lead to another, and then another, as they all fell into place.
Celebrating Good Times with Finger Puppets
In October 2010, a new advertising campaign started. It featured cute Finger puppets! These puppets were shown celebrating good times in different places. They were at music concerts and sporting events. The adverts highlighted their amazing "skills" and how they made good times even better.
