Cadbury Eclairs facts for kids
Cadbury Eclairs are a popular sweet treat made by Cadbury. These chewy candies have a delicious chocolate center. They were first created by a company called Taveners in Birmingham in 1932. Later, in 1965, Cadbury made their own version using their famous Dairy Milk chocolate.
You can find Cadbury Eclairs in bags or rolls. They are also part of the Cadbury Heroes chocolate box, which is a mix of different Cadbury favorites. Eclairs are sold in many countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Kenya, Hong Kong, China, South Africa, India, and Pakistan.

By the year 2000, Eclairs made up half of all of Cadbury's sales in China.
