Maltesers Chocolate Candies
What it is
Maltesers are a popular confectionery product consisting of a malted milk center that is coated in milk chocolate. The malted milk center has a light, airy, and slightly crunchy texture. The combination of the sweet chocolate shell and the distinctive malted interior creates a unique taste and mouthfeel that many find appealing. They are typically enjoyed as a snack or a sweet treat.
How people cook with it
These chocolate candies are a versatile addition to many sweet creations. They can be enjoyed straight from the bag or incorporated into various desserts.
- Snack on them anytime
- Decorate cakes and cupcakes
- Add to ice cream sundaes
- Mix into cookie dough
Maltesers can be eaten directly from their packaging as a satisfying snack. For baking, they can be roughly chopped and folded into cookie dough before baking, or used whole to top cupcakes and cakes. They also make a delightful addition to homemade ice cream or milkshakes, providing a delightful crunch and chocolatey flavor. When used as a topping, they add both visual appeal and a textural contrast to desserts.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to solid chocolate candies, Maltesers offer a lighter, aerated texture due to their malted milk center. This makes them less dense and provides a different kind of crunch. The distinct malty flavor also sets them apart from plain chocolate confections.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and crispness, store any leftover Maltesers in a cool, dry place. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from affecting the malted centers. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
