Title: Maltesers Xmas tree decorations!
Post by: one_serious_chocoholic on November 02, 2004, 11:51:31 am
.....these look gorgeous. Pricey for what you get (eight I think), but I know what I'll be scoffing come Xmas morning (if I can wait that long....).

I've seen them in Woolies and Wilkinson.


They're about 2-3 pound for a packet, come in white and milk and are basically a large, hollow ball of chocolate with a malteser rattling inside.


Yum.

You're welcome !


I've bought a few packets already. The real challenge will be to see if I can resist the inevitable temptation....

I had them 2 Christmas ago and was disappointed. I mean, think how much crunchy malty stuff you could actually fill it with!

I bought them last year and they are a bit of a rip off.  The emphasis is on the 'hollow' - you don't actually get much chocolate for your money, and only one normal size Malteser in the middle, looking rather lost.  Now if they were actually giant Maltesers that would be different.....

Ooh, haven't tried one yet. I'm glad I didn't buy too many in that case!


*bah, humbug*

Great minds think alike, I see.

Yeah, I would like a Mars-bar sized Malteser bar. And I am still waiting for plain choc Maltesers.

They may be a bit expensive but its a bit of fun at Christmas!


I am thinking about getting a nice tin of Fox's Creations at Christmas and having some Christmas morning with a nice cup of tea!

I just made my boyfriend buy some of these from Woolies but I've asked him to hide them from me! Just to be on the safe side. At first  thought they were giant maltesers...but I guess that would be gross....and we got smarties tree chocs which are very similar but filled with mini smarties...wow, things have really moved on from the days of those nasty cheap choccie hollow santas!!

I had a big packet of Revels on Sunday. We tipped them into a bowl and started munching....when we got to the end we discovered there was only 3 Maltesers ones in the whole packet!
