Maltesers are a British confectionery product manufactured by Mars, Incorporated, and are a type of chocolate malt confection. They consist of a spheroid malted milk center surrounded by milk chocolate. Maltesers are sold in a variety of packaging, including plastic bags, larger cardboard boxes and tubes, and plastic buckets. They also have medium-sized "teasers" in Celebrations boxes. Maltesers are known for their light, crunchy texture and their mouthwatering chocolate coating. They were first sold in the UK in 1937 and were originally aimed at women. They have since been sold in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the Middle East. In 2020, Maltesers were ranked the most popular confectionery in the UK. Maltesers officially became available in the United States in January 2017, but as of November 2022, they are no longer sold in the US. The ingredients of Maltesers vary by country, but they typically consist of malted milk, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, skimmed milk powder, lactose, whey powder, milk fat, emulsifiers, and flavorings.
