Has anyone tried the new 'posh' malteaser chocolates? Aibu to think they are rediculously underwhelming? They are primarily cheapy wafer. Sad times!

Malteasers can't be bad though!? Shock

Agreed @waitingforlifetostart I was gutted when I got them and they were what £6/8 (can’t remember exactly) and tasted surprisingly cheap! I don’t think even think I finished the box, waste of calories and money!

Someone bought these for me. Couldn’t agree more. Biggest disappointment since Pru fucked up with the bake-off results 😤

I got them in Debenhams half price really was looking forward to tucking into them. Disappointment of the century. A standard bag is far far superior.

I'm so glad I didn't save them for Christmas Grin

I got them for £6 in Sainsburys. I thought they'd be amazing for that price. :(

They are NOTHING like maltesers.
Why they felt the need to cash in on their success and promote themselves with a 'luxury' product - don't fuck with a winning formula, maltesers are the dogs bollocks Angry

I was sure I hadn’t heard of them until my husband reminded me that we’d shared a box some time ago. That’s how underwhelming they were. I’ve usually got a good memory when it comes to chocolate

I have a 59p bag of Maltesers hidden from my DC waiting for me.

I win.

Are they anything like the ones in the celebrations? Those things are heaven on earth!

I don’t think even think I finished the box

Shock

I didn't think it was even possible - I've only managed it myself once --with those disgusting Hershey's kisses that even the dog wouldn't touch==

I feel this way about the Malteasers bar.

I love Maltesers, but found the bar form bitterly disappointing Sad.

At least it's cheap though! I haven't seen these "posh" ones yet.

Now now MrsHathaway - everybody knows that the 59p bag isn't enough for an adult. You need the £1 size at least Wink.

DH and I love them! They were exclusive to Debenhams earlier in the year, before Sainsbury's got them, and we used to drive half an hour just to buy a box!

Sorry to bust your bubble Doggy but they are nothing like the celebrations ones. You can also buy boxes of those though!

Looks to me like they're trying to nab some of the Ferrero Rocher market. Those little fuckers are rubbish, too. But people can be very gullible... Grin
