Advantages: really tasty and can be scoffed with relish or delicately nibbled

Disadvantages: they're not actually all that much 'lighter than the average chocolate'

Maltesers are a Mars product wherein they have coated delicate, malt flavoured honeycomb balls with their lovely chocolate. Whether you munch them one after the other, or laboriously nibble away the outer chocolate, they are delicious. They come in a good range of quantities, from the fun size 19.7g bag (sold as multipack) to a 120g box. My problem is that they have the advertising campaign of there being so few calories, which I feel is a little misleading, as although I suppose that isn't bad, it is not much better than some other chocolate snacks. I don't know any other malt flavoured chocolate and they are wonderful. They are one of my sweets of choice at the cinema because they are one of those that come in a bag just the right size for it and you can dip in and out. As well as the original Maltesers, you can get Malteser ice cream and hot drink, which are also nice, but do not quite live up to the actual sweets.
