The Delicious Dairy Box® Story

Whether it’s your best friend’s birthday or Mother’s Day, spread joy to the people you love most with Dairy Box® chocolates. Who can resist the smooth, high-quality milk chocolate and the tantalising variety of flavours in Dairy Box®? Not many! Gift a Dairy Box® to the milk chocolate fan in your life to add a touch of indulgence to their celebrations.

The first Dairy Box® was introduced by Rowntree’s in 1936 as a milk chocolate alternative to the premium dark chocolate-based Black Magic. Both brands joined the Nestlé confectionery family in 1988, and today, Dairy Box® remains a beloved gift for milk chocolate enthusiasts.

From vanilla, salted toffee and caramel to truffles, hazelnuts and fruity fillings, every Dairy Box® treat is deliciously unique. Share a box on movie night or pass one round as a cheeky after-dinner delight.

Dairy Box® proudly supports the Nestlé Cocoa Plan in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance. Together, we’re working for a better future for cocoa farmers—and creating even better chocolate for you.
