Fruit-Flavored Chocolate Balls

Maltesers Launches a Berry Flavor of Its Chocolate Snack

British snack company Maltesers has become globally known for its delicious chocolate balls that are textured and malty on the inside. The new flavor of the sweet snack, however, has definitely generated some excitement within the United Kingdom and Germany.

Maltesers' chocolate balls boast a new flavor in 2018 and it is raspberry. Traditional pairing of berries and chocolate usually entails the fruit being dipped and cover in the cocoa-based sweet. However, Maltesers takes a different approach. The British company preserves its brand-identifying malty interior and instead coats the individual balls in raspberry-flavored chocolate.

Perfect for at the movies or as a back-to-school treat, Maltesers' berry-flavored chocolate balls are available in grocery stores across Europe, as well as in Australia.
