Heroes (previously Cadbury's Miniature Heroes, and known as Favourites in Australia and New Zealand) is a brand of boxed/tinned confectionery of a miniature collection of chocolate bars manufactured by Cadbury. Introduced in September 1999,[1] they were a response to rival Mars' Celebrations and contain miniature versions of various Cadbury chocolate bars. Heroes are most popular around holidays, such as Christmas, Halloween and Easter.
Its name was changed to its current "Heroes" in 2002, after launching as "Cadbury's Miniature Heroes" in 1999.
