Some say white chocolate is the cancer that is killing chocolate. Not even chocolate itself, white chocolate masquerades as chocolate, using the name chocolate to have itself sold as chocolate. Chocolate.

Maltesers are a fairly decent snack. Little balls of honeycomb usually covered in milk chocolate, and also covered in dark chocolate in Australia and white chocolate in this case. I very rarely buy them because they give my teeth a very weird feeling when I bite them, which is something I blame on the honeycomb, and because their adverts are quite possibly the worst and most annoying things on television. Also they’re aimed at women (they advertise on that crappy women’s panel show, Loose Women).

So rant over, when I got these in Tesco back in late August, they had a little “Discontinued” thing on the shelf label, so I figured I’d have to get them. They don’t really excite me but let’s get it on.

Now with regular Maltesers, it’s the somewhat brittle honeycomb that puts me off, though this seems to have been rectified here. The bubbly honeycomb here breaks easily and whilst getting all stuck in your teeth, doesn’t really cause any strange problems. It also has quite a strong taste, somewhat like…honeycomb. The white chocolate doesn’t have much of a taste, from time to time I feel like I can detect it but for the most part it’s not there.

These are a little plain and perhaps somewhat disappointing. There’s not much taste though I guess the low calories here is what would attract people. I can see why they’ve been discontinued, as it’s obvious they’d have been made at somepoint, but there’s nothing really here to make me want to buy these again.
