Haven’t heard that - but that’s soooo funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just checked. It is false news. I hope not too many people were unnecessarily upset by the news.grin

Sorry for those who miss them but never bothers me as I much prefer plain chocolate and never found maltesers very interesting.good job we are all different

I love Maltesers - dh gives me a big box every 🎄and birthday, and I can tell you, they don’t last long! A dd and a Gdd are almost equally addicted.
I hardly ever buy them myself - I’d be like the side of a house.

My husband's favourite chocolates where Maltesers in a big box and black magic . I brought him them every birthday ,Easter and Christmas. Never liked black magic but did like Maltesers but haven't been able to eat them since he died 21 years ago .

Just bought two boxes today for gifts from Home Bargains.
No shortage 😄

Once they’re opened it’s hard to stop dipping in and I have been known to only stop when I feel a bit 🤢

I daren't buy them!

When I was young I loved Crunchie bars (no wonder I have fillings). Are they still available?

Is it like the Caramac scam? My DH , who cannot eat chocolate because of migraines, loves Caramac. They said they were stopping g production and then the price of those left, when you could find them, shot up dramatically. After a while they were re-introduced for ‘a short while’ and then the same again. We now buy a load when they are ‘in’ to stock up. He doesn’t have a sweet tooth but for some reason loves the oh so sweet taste of Caramac!

Oh, production moved from Keynsham to Poland in 2010.
Another broken promise by Cadbury's then-new boss.

It's a no, then ☹

Allira you almost need a mortgage. They were for sale today £4! Not a huge box either. Cadburys and co. are weaning me off chocolate all by themselves.

No doubt someone will be jumping on the bandwagon and selling on eBay for a ridiculous price

I view them (Maltesers) as "slimming" chocolates .Even so if I had them regularly I'd be a house-sized" as well.
Oh the delusion......🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't eat them
I am a Coeliac and would love some,but alas I can't have them

Redhead56 Tue 11-Mar-25 14:09:46

I did eat them but these days I rarely eat chocolate. Now I am craving them after reading this post!

They are! I used to love them but too sickly fir me now and they gum up my mouth! Grandson loves them though

Crossstitchfan Tue 11-Mar-25 14:19:00

Forgot to say that Maltesers are my favourite too and the family buys them as part of my birthday, Christmas and Easter presents (had a Maltesers filled Easter egg last year)

Crossstitchfan Tue 11-Mar-25 14:21:06

Further to my last message(s), I still love them though, sickly or not, and suffer the gummed up teeth!

Dottydots Tue 11-Mar-25 14:22:00

Right, everyone. Stop all this talk. My mouth is watering so much that I might drown myself. Oh, If only I were well enough to get to the sweet shop!

jobieP Tue 11-Mar-25 15:09:25

Do you crunch them or let them melt in your mouth?

Cateq Tue 11-Mar-25 15:13:13

We used to eat them by the box in the office. The favourite trick was put a couple in your mouth before taking a sip of tea or coffee they popped

Lizzie44 Tue 11-Mar-25 15:15:31

I wouldn't bat an eyelid if I heard there were no Maltesers on supermarket shelves. On the other hand, if I heard the same about 70% dark chocolate bars I would be out on the streets protesting.

I LOVE Maltesers. My son bought me a big bag of them the other day. It’s strange how I think the ones in a box taste better!

wibblywobblywobblebottom Tue 11-Mar-25 16:50:46

I eat Maltesers regularly and I haven't noticed any shortages.
