Maltesers Advent calendars are rubbish

Filed under: General — Matthew Revell at 12:51 pm

Maltesers are puffed balls of Horlicks mix, covered by a thin layer of chocolate.

There’s a slight variation in boxes of Celebrations: solid chocolate laced with tiny balls of puffed Horlicks mix. Great.

My Maltesers Advent calendar has chocolate behind each door. Thanks to foil seals, the chocolate doesn’t taste of cardboard. That’s a good start. They’ve completely left out any of the malty Horlicks mix, though.

How can it be a Maltesers Advent calendar without the malty Horlicks bits? Day 24 has a door roughly the size of a Maltesers fun (i.e. small) bag, so maybe I’ll get lucky on Christmas Eve.

    If you want to be impressed with an advent calendar, take a look a the Lindt chocolate calendars…

    If you’re after Maltesers, Sainsburys (and probably other shops) sell a large 800gram bucket of them. We’ve bought one for a sort of -in-law who has a slight fetish for them

    Now the ones in the celebrations are truly excellent. They did bring out a limited edition of boxes containing just the Malteser variant which was very nice.

    I think was as a result of a poll for the most popular celebration chockie, or did I just imagine that?
