Malteser Biscuits – Snap ‘Em, Crunch ‘Em, Love ‘Em?

Now, you know how very much we appreciate a Malteser, so when Darrell returned home from town clutching a pack of the new Malteser Biscuits it was a no brainer that we try them the second he’d kicked his shoes off (and neatly put them in the cupboard). To Malteser aficionados, like what we are, they promised much!

The packet gave little away as to what we should expect of a taste type nature  ………

……. the bumf on the side simply told us to “snap ‘em, crunch ‘em, love ‘em”, which we fully intended to do.

On opening the pack we found that said biscuits were,  erm …… how shall we put it, knobbly, perhaps, Nigel suggested, to represent three Maltesers stuck together in biscuit form ?

We “snapped ‘em”, to reveal biscuit and on looking at the small print Darrell said they are supposed to contain small “crisp honeycomb pieces” but to be honest, if they did, then they were flipping minute pieces and sadly, no the robust chunks of Malteser we had anticipated.

The next thing to do was to “crunch ‘em” ………….

……. to be honest, the crunching was disappointing, we got chocolate, we got crunchy biscuit, but sadly, despite our very discerning palates, we just couldn’t pick up any Malteser.

I am afraid that a very tangible and palpable air of disappointment fell heavily on The Towers, what a let down. 

That being said, the biscuits were lovely, just not Maltesery enough for us.  At £1 for ten biscuits that’s also not a bad a price to pay, so although we snapped and crunched ‘em, we have to be honest, we didn’t love ‘em and for that reason we feel we can only give the new Malteser Biscuits a disheartened 7.01342 out of 10 on our world famous Richter Scale of Noms ……… sigh!
