With Christmas fast approaching, the cost of festive treats can quickly add up. However, savvy shoppers have discovered a significant saving on a seasonal favourite, thanks to an early Black Friday offer from the online retail giant, Amazon.
The Ultimate Chocolate Deal
Amazon is currently selling a Cadbury Heroes Chocolate Bulk Share Box for just £20.34. This massive box weighs an impressive 2kg and contains all nine of the classic, bite-sized treats, including beloved varieties like Dairy Milk, Crunchie, and Fudge.
This represents a substantial saving, as the box normally retails for £27.88. The 27% discount is part of Amazon's Early Black Friday sale and is set to run until December 1, giving customers just under two weeks to take advantage.
Amazon describes the product as the 'ultimate sharing pack', ideal for parties and celebrations. Cadbury also highlights that the variety ensures there is 'something for every chocolate lover'.
How Does It Compare?
For those considering other options, Amazon also has deals on similar bulk chocolate brands. A 1.4kg Celebrations tube, featuring Maltesers, Galaxy, and Snickers, is available for £19.70. Meanwhile, Lindt fans can purchase a 1kg bag of Milk Chocolate Truffles for £30.
What Shoppers Are Saying
The Heroes bundle has proven incredibly popular, with over 33,000 Amazon shoppers snapping it up. The reviews paint a picture of a product that has become a holiday staple for many.
One five-star reviewer shared, "The Cadbury Heroes Bulk Share Box has become something of a Christmas tradition in our family." They praised the variety and the mini-size pieces, which are "perfect for passing around."
Another customer found it practical for business, stating, "Buying this box for staff rewards saved me buying tubs in bulk from the supermarket." They even counted the contents, revealing their box contained a generous 219 individual chocolates.
A third review highlighted the value, with a shopper noting, "My husband and I are both chocoholics and 10 days since opening this box we are still munching our way through it. Really good value for money."
A Note of Caution
While the majority of feedback is positive, a small number of critics raised issues. One customer reported that their box "arrived damaged," rendering it unsuitable for gifting. Others felt their chocolate assortment was slightly unbalanced.
There were also concerns about the best-before dates from a repeat purchaser, who claimed, "Purchased this previously in December with the best-before date in June. Purchased again in March with the best-before date in June. This is unacceptable when considering the quantity."
Despite these isolated incidents, most reviewers were delighted. One person concluded, "Presenting these sweets in a box might not be as posh as in a fancy tin, but getting more sweets for a similar price was worth that."
A Change in the Heroes Line-Up
Shoppers should note that Cadbury has made a change to the Heroes line-up this year. In a trial taking place in select Tesco stores, the Eclairs have been removed from new paper tubs and replaced with a Cadbury Flake.
However, the standard plastic tubs of Cadbury Heroes, including this 2kg bulk assortment from Amazon, will still contain the classic Eclair.
While indulging in festive treats is a joy for many, it is worth remembering that maintaining a healthy and balanced diet is crucial for overall well-being. Experts advise that cutting down on sugar can help manage weight and lower the risk of long-term health conditions.
