Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Gift Bar 850g, £13.44 £8.50 from Amazon

Amazon has unveiled a whopping 37% discount on a huge 850g slab of Dairy Milk chocolate, dropping the price from £13.44 to just £8.50.

For reference, that's about the same weight as a 400-page hardcover book... but 100% milk chocolate.

Here's another way of measuring it: the bar comprises 136 squares of Dairy Milk, or almost 19 times as much chocolate as a standard 45g bar.

That means that — hopefully — there'll be enough chocolate for him to share around.

The official Cadbury Gifts Direct website sells the same bar for £11.50, a full £3 more than the Amazon deal price.

The deal, which is only live for a limited time, has made the 850g bar Amazon's most popular product in the "Chocolate Blocks and Bars" category.

Over 6,000 bars have been sold on the site in the last month alone.

Similar products, including a pack of two 850g bars and a pack of four bars, have already sold out.

The deal is part of Amazon's new "Everyday Essentials Week", which has seen huge reductions on a variety of household staples, including food and drink and cleaning products.

They continued: "The extra-large size is a real bonus, especially if you're a chocolate lover like me. It’s a great gift or just a treat to keep around for when you need a little sweetness in your day."

Another said: "It's the same chocolate as the regular-sized bars, but just giant-sized. It makes a great gift or stocking filler, but I actually bought it for myself to nibble on over Christmas. It didn't last very long!"

Another summed it up succinctly: "Massive bar. Cheap price."
