“Unhygienic and horrid”
Written on: 25/12/2012 by alicetgibbs (1 review written)
Opened my pack of heros to find that there was no wrapper on some of the sweets?! Either they were put In like this or not properly wrapped. I find this unhygienic and as a result will not be eating any of them and will be sending a formal letter to cadbruys about this issue. (read more)
“Where are the picnics?”
Written on: 20/11/2012
Very disappointing that the picnics have been replaced by eclairs??? If I had wanted eclairs I would've bought eclairs. Also miss the crunchies too. Heroes much poorer for the changes. Won't be buying again (read more)
“A GREAT little treat!”
Written on: 09/06/2012
I thought this was really great. it has a lot of variety and a great amount of sweets. I think it is a great ting to share with family and friends as it gives everyone with different tastes a chance to eat it also it is just the right size as there isn't to much or to little to eat. There is enough for quite a big group of people and it stops you having to much. I think it is a great product that is always ready if you have it on hold to make a whole house hold happy. i think that the... (read more)

Written on: 21/12/2010
I agree with a lot of the other reviews and think that Cadbury's Heroes this year are a total disappointment. We miss the inclusion of Crunchie, Picnic and Dream and find the Eclair, ridiculous Creme Egg and Bourneville very unsatisfactory replacements. Please bring back the original selection! Or at least add some Whole Nut, Fruit and Nut miniatures.
Mars Celebrations far superior this year and I am a Cadbury chocolate fan.

Well , I actually am quite lucky as my favorates are there. Exept I don't like creme egg twisted , ergh , but the bornville is there which I qite like but I think I prefer Celebrations because I always get a Cadbury selection pack for xmas and that is enough cadburys for me! I prefer a selection.
I don't like the fact that you open the tin and it is HALF EMPTY I thought cadbyurys was a glass and a half (lame pun...)

Totally dissapointed with Heroes. Thankfully we opened these before Christmas as a treat for the weekend. What the blazes is an eclair doing in this selection? Where's the Picnic? Will not buy these again. Total let down from Cadburys. Feels like a bit of a swizz. (read more)

Written on: 08/01/2010
Well done Cadburys Miniature Heroes, you have joined all the rest of today' chocolate selection manufacturers, substituting the interesting flavours, Crunchie, picnics etc with the sickly sweet, soft centred (twisted creme egg) and mundane bournville, not to mention chocoalate eclairs. There is now nothing in the heroes box that our family, or extended family like, I won't be buying them again, Toblerone or Bendicks for us in future as they haven't changed their identity. What is the point... (read more)

Bitterly disappointed with the replacements in Cadbury Heroes for Dream, Time Out & Picnic. Why could they not have had just a wider selection instead of taking chocs away fro the new addition. (read more)

Written on: 02/01/2009
on the box, it says 'occassionally, it is necessary to replace a particular chocolate with another of an equally high standard.'
fair enough. but replace it with a particular chocolate of an equally high standard.
picnic has gone - who cares?
but we are left with bourneville - if they are trying to market this at dark chocolate-lovers then i think they are failing because usually i like dark chocolate but i find this watery and disgusting - and eclairs. what the heck were they thinking?...

Written on: 31/12/2008
Surely the point of Cadbury Heroes is that they are miniature versions of our favourite Cadbury bars. Chocolate Eclairs are not a miniature version but a sweet in its own right - it has no place in a tin of Heroes. I feel the introduction of Bournvilles and Eclairs are a blatant cost cutting exercise. Heroes are now banned from our house. (read more)

Written on: 26/12/2008 by leepaul (1 review written)
I was very disappointed when on Christmas morning i opened my box of miniture heroes and discovered there were no time outs or crunchies! and a new bournville chocolate that i cannot stand! I did not see any word that these had changed when ever they were advertised on TV, it seems they were very clever not to advertise the fact as they may not have sold as well! I wont be buying these again, think i will have to buy celebrations. (read more)

Bring them back, ban the bourneville. I don't care if it's cheaper to make-I think they are shooting themselves in the foot because no-one will buy cheap, horrible dark chocolate or icky eclairs. (read more)

Written on: 20/12/2008 by littleemopony
Cadbury's Heroes was our favourite variety of chocolate to get at Christmas. They had around about 10 different vairities and we each had a favourite. Our favourites were different aswell so there was no arguing over who would get the last Crunchie or Dairy Milk or whatever. This was before we opened the Hero box this year, expecting to see our favourite chocolates and unaware of the changes made.What a terrible shock we had! To discover that our beloved favourite chocolates had... (read more)

Written on: 20/12/2008
I love the Twirl Cadbury Heroes and all the choccie goodness of the milk Chocolates. I never liked the Picnics so not sad to see then gone.
What the madness are Eclairs and Bournville doing in there? I hate Toffees and Dark Chocolate.
Celebrations have knocked Heroes off as my #01 but #02 ain't so bad.

Written on: 20/12/2008
I am disgusted by the decision to replace Dreams and Crunchies with Bournville and Toffee Eclair. It is a DISASTROUS decision. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like Crunchie. MOST people don't like Bournville. Very many people don't do very well with bullet hard toffee.
The Picnic was one of the best ones in it! Why are Cadbury removing the very things that made Heroes so, well, HEROIC?
Shower of skinflints in charge at Cadbury these days its seems.

This used to be a 10/10 assortment. They've now got rid of Picnic, Crunchie and Dream, all of which I liked, and replaced them with less palatable offerings (can't remember what they put in place of Picnic). I agree with the article; it's pure cost-cutting. (read more)

Lack of Crunchie! What has the world come to when a leading chocolate manufacturer (in the face of mounting recession and societal disillusionment) loses one of their most popular mini-products?
For shame Cadburys, for shame.

Written on: 19/12/2008 by Sven Shaw (1 review written)
Cadburys Heroes used to be OK. Aside from the rather less favoured Time Out and Twirl there were genuine national favourites in there. The Picnic was the first casualty which I saw as a blow but not a choco-tastrophe. It was to my horror that I opened the last box and discovered it was not only Picnic deficient but also lacking in Dream and (gasp!) Crunchy! Their replacements? Bourneville and Eclair - Surely the Supergran and Space Ghost of the chocolate superhero world. For shame Cadburys. (read more)

Written on: 19/12/2008 by AngryShopper (21 reviews written)
We were bought a tin of Cadbury Heroes as a treat. My mother knows that her grandson loves these sweets. He was so disappointed to find that the sweets he liked most weren't inside the tin. The picnics, crunchies and twirls had been replaced with dark chocolate Bournevilles and toffee eclairs.
These changes got an immediate thumbs down from my son, and from me. We won't be buying Heroes again.
I don't know what Cadbury's is up to but they've just upset a young boy, his parents and his...

Angryshopper's Response to AngryShopper's Review
Written on: 24/12/2008
I complained direct to Cadburys. Here's the reply.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding our Miniature Heroes Assortment.<br/><br/>I can confirm that we have taken the decision to remove the Picnic, Time Out, Dream and Crunchie units in this Assortment. <br/><br/>The confectionery market is ever changing and as a trading company within the industry we have to adapt to market pressures and commitments. To do this successfully we employ specialist agencies who work on our behalf to sample and question members of the public to their individual preferences. Market research has led us to adapt the assortment for Miniature Heroes to appeal to a larger market. Regrettably this also means that those who had a preference for these units may now be disappointed.<br/><br/>We always welcome feedback from our consumers and I have passed your comments onto our Marketing Department for their information.<br/><br/>Once again thank you for taking the trouble to contact us.<br/>Cadbury Consumer Relations Department<br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>I take that as a polite way of telling me to go away. I will and I won't be bothering to buy this product ever again. <br/>

LOVE Cadbury Heroes! While living in England I became addicted (Hershey who?); even visiting the plant/visitor center...a must for chocolate lovers.
I have English friends who bring me my Cadbury once a year; which is never enough! While you can buy some of the Cadbury selections here in the USA, we don't have the complete selection and I have never seen them sold in the Hero's packaging.

Please do not go down the cheap root by putting toffee/choc(eclairs) into the tin. Is there no tin of chocolates without toffee.
Yes Celebrations. It looks like I will have to switch chocolates.
I AM BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED.
You had ten out of ten before now it is five out of ten.

The Cadbury heroes chocolate is great in general and the taste is lush but just when you freely get in the mood, you do not want it to stop and before you know it its gone. I think you should put a bit more in the standard bars. (read more)

I agree! The crunchie bites were the best, not buying again if they don't reinstate!
