Aha! I knew there was a reason I subjected myself to the insanity that is Christmas shoppers

No sooner than I woke up today did I go to the store. A couple of family members were going and so I decided to tag along. I needed to pick up a few more things for Christmas anyway and / or get some ideas for what to get people. I did luck out on my Christmas shopping excursion, but it wasn't the most fun. I am the type of person who wants to get in and get out, no looking at every little thing. I just go for what I need, and I'm out. Even if I am not sure exactly what I need, I have a pretty good idea of what I want. Today was no different, other than the fact that I had to wait on another person to get done with their own shopping. I was able to get my grandfather, my aunt's, a cousin (as I don't shop for them all), and my uncle's presents today. So that leaves my sister and brother in law (I'm feeling like this is a gift card sorta situation though) and my nephew. Oh but the gifts I've already gotten isn't even the best part of it. No, the reason I am happy I went is because I found one of my favorite candies of all time. A candy that I have the option of paying around $2.00 to $3.00 for otherwise. Maltesers, yup. A small pack that is what 50 P in G.B. is around $2.00 here (imported, obviously). I paid $5.00 for the pictured box, and the cadbury's assortment I paid $10.00 for. So $4.98 (the exact amount I paid) is 3.91 in GBP. $9.88 is what I paid for the Cadbury assortment or 7.76 in GBP. I think I probably got a good deal on the Maltesers (I can imagine Britain and Australia paying about the equivalent for the set) but I think that the Cadbury Box is a bit overpriced, surely? How much in GBP are the Cadbury Assortment's in the UK right now? Surely you guys have them at the shops there, so I wanna know if you pay a comparable amount to us for it, or if it's much cheaper.
