Have you ever had a craving for something sweet and tasty, but not sure what? Ever been at the shop counter, unable to decide which chocolatey treat to purchase? Well, that's when Cadbury's Minachure Heroes come in! So much choice in one little box!

*****
The packaging is, of course, the first thing you see when browing this fine selection, so it is important that it comes across as appealing! Thankfully, the ravishing purple cardboard box fits its purpose! On the front of this rectangular box, you can see pictures of all the tempting chocolates stored inside - luring you closer in...

*****
The contents of this box is quite varied, with at least one chocolate to suit each person, so nobody will be left out - not even the more fussy!
::Twirl::
Twirls appear to be just a solid block of chocolate, but after biting into them, two textures are revealed; a soft outside, and a crumbly, softer inside! This is a very delicate chocolate!
I quite like this one. It's not too heavy, melting in your mouth! Though, I would not recommend this particular induldgence on a warm day, as it can leave your mouth slightly dry!

::Dairy Milk::
Nice and simple, the Dairy Milk is a plain block of chocolate! Perfect for those who are easily satisfied, or do not like other fillings! Though it is solid, this piece of chocolate still melts and is very soft when you take a bite!
Little nibbles on Dairy Milk is great, especially with a warm cup of tea or a nice cold glass of milk! A very adaptable chocolate, for all weathers and occasions!
::Dairy Milk Fruit And Nut::
Ah, the 'healthy option'! Chocolate, wrapped round a satisfying parcel of nuts and raisins! A nutty treat, favoured my many!
I take a fancy to this particular treat, as I love raisins and nuts, so when combined with a luxxurious layer of Cadburys chocolate, the perfect snack is born!

::Dairy Milk Caramel::
A sticky one, this! The layer of chocolate around the caramel is very fine, and breaks quite easily. This may appear as a problem, but nevertheless, you discover its wonders when you pop it into your mouth and it all begins to melt, the caramel oozing around your tastebuds, filling you with a sweet, satisfying taste!
I think the big bars of this become too messy, especially when they begin to melt! The little bitesize ones here are perfect size!
::TimeOut::
The TimeOut is a very textured and varied snack in its own. The shell of chocolate is quite tough, with the inside being crumbly and chewy. One bite of this, and you will be hooked! It's just grand that you can indulge on the several of these that come in the box!
I find TimeOuts quite strong and thick, so make sure you have a drink at hand!

::Crunchie::
Such a fun little snack! Inside, a block of sweet honeycomb, covered in an outer layer of creamy chocolate! Pop this one into your mouth and suck! When the chocolate begins to melt away, it is just the beginning! The honeycomb begins to crumble and crackle, slowly all the sugar having a feel day on your tastebuds!
I was amazed by the sensation of the Crunchie when I was little,a bundle of fun in one little bite!
::Dream::
The only white chocolate that can be found in Heroes - and it fits the best! An extremely creamy block of rich, white chocolate, carefully wrapped in a little blue parcel!
One thing about this one is that it is very sweet, and a bit sickly after a while! Other than that, they are devine and heavenly!

::Picnic::
A very varied snack full of many delectable ingredients; a selection of raisins and peanuts soaked in layers or crispy caramel, all coated in a fine case of milk chocolate!
A mouth-watering snack, but may only appeal to a select few because of the contents! Me, I love them! They are very crunchy and chewy!
::Fudge::
A light option in this chocolate bundle! A fine bar of soft, creamy fudge, covered in a tempting layer of chocolate!
I think this chocolate appeals to young children, as it seems to be very soft and light, and very easy to eat; not too chewy or tough! But that does not mean the 'older ones' can't enjoy it!

*****
If I had to choose my favourite parcel from the Heroes box, it would be a very difficult choice! Unlike a lot of my friends, I enjoy indulging on the Dream chocolate, as I love the rich and creamy texture, so there is always plenty of them left for me! I remember the first time I tried them- I thought they were a bit sickly, but now they are usually the first ones I decide to nibble on, especially since they are so creamy and melting!
I like the Picnics too, because of the contents, and the variety in the texture; both chewy and crunchy! And I love raisins and other fruit bits that are found in them, so that is an added bonus!

*****
Cadburys Heroes are great for all sorts! They make amazing presents for those chocoholics, and are a brilliant idea to serve at parties and barbeques! Also, when giving out things like Christmas cards, it could be a good idea to attach a little chocolate onto the front of the envelope with a piece of sellotape, just to make it that little bit more unique and special! But remembering the most important, they make a fantastic treat for yourself, with all that choice and adventure in one little box!
Snacking will never be the same again!

Summary: Fabulous little bites of heaven in a box!
