description Dark Maltesers Overview
Dark Maltesers were a dark-chocolate variation of Maltesers, the confectionery brand produced by Mars. Like standard Maltesers, each piece consisted of a crisp, aerated malted center coated in chocolate, but this version substituted dark chocolate for the usual milk-chocolate coating. They were sold as small, bite-sized sweets for sharing or individual snacking; the product did not contain the hazelnut or separate milk-chocolate center described in the original text.
help Dark Maltesers FAQ
What is different about Dark Maltesers compared with regular Maltesers?
Dark Maltesers keep the crisp malted center but replace the usual milk-chocolate coating with dark chocolate. Mars said the 2022 UK launch had 65% more cocoa and 30% less sugar than the original product.
Do Dark Maltesers contain milk or gluten?
The official Australian 135 g product lists milk, soy, and malt extract from barley, so it is not vegan or gluten-free. Ingredients can vary by country, so check the package for the market where you are buying them.
When were Dark Maltesers launched?
Mars announced Dark Maltesers in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2022, with nationwide availability from June 20. The launch included 32 g, 59 g, 88 g, and 163 g pack formats.
Do Dark Maltesers still have the classic malted center?
Yes, the dark version still uses the light, crisp malt center associated with Maltesers. The main change is the outer dark-chocolate coating, not a switch to a solid chocolate filling.
