It’s safe to say Maltesers are one of our all-time favourite sweet treats. They’re the first sweet that vanishes from the tin of Celebrations on Christmas Day, and we scoffed many Malteser bunnies over the Easter holidays.
Fans of the delicious chocolate will be delighted to hear of this new release that is coming to Ireland very soon.
The popular chocolate is being transformed into buttons, that’s right- mini balls of chocolate and malt goodness.
The news was revealed by the Instagram account @productsinstore. They shared a photo of the packet of chocolatey joy earlier this week.
The buttons are being launched in the UK in June, and thankfully we won't have to hop on a plane to get our fix.
The people at Malteasers confirmed the news, "We’re very excited to confirm that Maltesers Bites will be launching exclusively in Ireland this summer!"
A recent study actually found that eating chocolate can help lower your stress levels.
Two studies from the Loma Linda University in California discovered that eating chocolate helps boost your mood. “The more sugar, the happier we are,” said lead researcher Lee S. Berk.
He explained that the studies have shown them that a higher concentration of cacao has a positive impact on mood, immunity, memory and cognition.
Thanks to this study we’ll happily treat ourselves to a packet of Malteser buttons when they are released later this summer.
