Elusive Mars’ treat Malteser Buttons are finally on sale and we need them in our mouths right now
What’s the best chocolate on sale in Britain right now? That’s right, Malteser Teasers.
Maltesers are a classic, of course, but there’s something about the chocolate / malted milk ratio in a Teaser that drives us rabid with delight.
See also: Malteser Bunnys and the seasonal Malteser Reindeer.
So, we are in a paroxysm of delight that Malteser Buttons have finally been spotted on supermarket shelves.
Chocolate loving shoppers have seen them in Tesco and they’re just 50p a packet.
That’s right. Fifty pence. You probably can’t make them for that (you can).
Sharing bags come in at £1.50 but what price a party on your tongue? Well, in this case it’s 50p, or £1.50 for the ‘sharing’ bag that we will 100% be sharing with ourselves.
Our new favourite treats come in a classic button shape, but with delicious knobbly looking bits peeking up from the chocolate surface.
A 32g bag comes in 166 calories, if that sort of thing is important to you.
GALLERY: Discontinued chocolate bars we miss
CLOSER chocolate bars we miss
1 of 231) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
2 of 232) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
3 of 233) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4 of 234) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5 of 235) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6 of 236) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7 of 237) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8 of 238) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9 of 239) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10 of 2310) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11 of 2311) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12 of 2312) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13 of 2313) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14 of 2314) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15 of 2315) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16 of 2316) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17 of 2317) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18 of 2318) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19 of 2319) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20 of 2320) Texan
The mighty chew.
21 of 2321) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
22 of 2321) White maltesers
Despite fans clamouring for the return of the white chocolate delights, Mars say they have no intention of bringing them back. Sob!
23 of 2323) Galaxy Truffle
The fan favourite was inexplicably removed and replaced by Twix in Celebrations tubs back in 2011. It's clear that some people are not over it as a petition was made in 2018 to bring the chocolate back.A spokesperson said: "We're always interested in hearing our fans' views on the products they love, but we don't have any current plans to bring back Galaxy Truffles."Get in the bin.
We predict a stampede!
