A Major Confectionery Crossover
A new design doing the rounds online suggests a major collaboration between two of the biggest names in chocolate. The mockup shows a 102g sharing pouch of Maltesers, but with a significant twist: a Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffle centre. The pack promises the familiar honeycomb crunch of a Malteser combined with the famously smooth, melting filling of a Lindt Lindor truffle.
This isn’t a simple flavour tweak. It’s a full-on brand partnership. The packaging uses the classic Maltesers red but incorporates the Lindor wordmark and signature lattice pattern. It’s a confident design that suggests a premium entry into the sharing pouch market, aimed squarely at fans of both brands.
Maltesers and the Truffle Format
While a Lindor collaboration would be new, the truffle format itself is established territory for Mars. The brand already produces Maltesers Truffles, which come in a gift box format and feature a creamy, malty centre with honeycomb pieces. They are a staple of the gifting aisle and a core part of the brand’s premium offering.
The current range also includes a Maltesers Truffles Assorted Advent Calendar during the festive season. This positions the existing truffle as a special-occasion item. A sharing pouch, as seen in this new concept, would bring that more indulgent format into the world of casual, everyday snacking. It feels like a logical next step. It makes sense.
Brand Extension Strategy
Maltesers has a long history of moving beyond its core honeycomb ball product. The brand’s presence extends across multiple supermarket aisles, far from the standard chocolate section. You can find Maltesers Cake Bars in the bakery aisle and Maltesers Chocolate Milkshake Drink in the chillers.
There’s also an Instant Hot Chocolate Jar for the cupboards at home. This strategy of diversification has been successful, turning the Maltesers name into a flavour profile as much as a single product. The range even includes seasonal hits like the Maltesers Reindeer, proving the brand can adapt its core product for different occasions and formats.
What the real range looks like
The official Maltesers range already includes Maltesers Truffles in a Milk Chocolate Gift Box and an Assorted Advent Calendar. This concept would adapt that premium format for the sharing pouch category, sitting alongside other innovations like Maltesers Cake Bars and the Chocolate Milkshake Drink.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the existing Maltesers Truffles like?

- Do big chocolate brands like Mars and Lindt ever collaborate?
- Co-branded products are increasingly common in the food industry as a way to generate excitement and reach new customers. While collaborations between direct competitors at this scale are rare, they are not impossible, especially for limited-edition runs.
- Are Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffle Maltesers a real product?
- No, this is a Snackfish. The image is a mockup created by the online design page UK Snack Attack. The product is not in development and is not sold in shops.
