Maltesers Desserts Dark Choc Black Forest Gateau Flavour takes inspiration from the “classic” German dessert to create a “crisp malt centre, smothered in smooth and decadent dark chocolate, bursting with notes of cherry and sponge cake”.
Taking inspiration from the traditional Italian “delight”, Maltesers Desserts Milk Choc Tiramisu Flavour features the brand’s “iconic crisp malt centre, covered in smooth, rich milk chocolate with the perfect balance of coffee notes and whipped cream to finish”.
Made in Australia at the company’s Ballarat factory, the new Maltesers Desserts range is a world-first for Mars Wrigley. It follows a recently announced $28.8 million investment into the company’s manufacturing site with the aim bolster the company’s bitesize range.
