Advantages: Good if you have a very sweet tooth.

Disadvantages: Too sickly sweet and tastes nothing like maltesers.

Maltesers are great sweets but their attempt to turn their sweets into a hot chocolate drink does not work at all in my opinion.

The fact they have used the Malteser name would lead me to believe that this drink was in some way going to taste like malteser`s, it does not!

There is a strong malt taste to the drink which I do not mind as I quite enjoy a milky malt drink but the chocolate is totally outdone by the malt so to call this a hot chocolate is not really right in my opinion.

The drink tends to stick around the mouth and make you feel thirstier after drinking it than you did before you started.

It is very sweet and a bit sickly when made with the 3-4 heaped teaspoonfuls that the jar recommends using but even when you use slightly less the sweetness remains but the drink becomes a bit thinner.

I was not at all impressed with this drink and the only saviour was that I only paid a pound for this from our local Poundland rather than the £1.49 that it costs in Asda. My daughter likes it but she has the sweetest tooth of anyone I have ever met so that is not really much to go on.

Summary: There are far better hot chocolates to be had.
