An Unexpected Flavour Combination
Brand crossovers are now a permanent fixture of the UK confectionery aisle. But they tend to operate within established lanes: a biscuit brand becomes a chocolate bar, a cake becomes a biscuit. The latest concept to get people talking pushes that boundary much further. It’s a mockup showing Maltesers combined with the Monster Energy drink brand.
The proposed flavour is Mango Loco, one of Monster’s most recognisable variants. The design places the familiar Maltesers logo alongside the energy drink’s distinctive claw-mark ‘M’ and its Day of the Dead-inspired can art. The format is a 102g sharing pouch, the same size as a standard bag of Maltesers Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Bites. The caption that accompanied the image was simple. “Maltesers Monster Energy Mango Loco… would you try these?”
The Current Maltesers Range
A move like this would represent a significant departure for the Maltesers brand. Its current UK range is large but stays close to its core identity of milk chocolate and malt. Flavour innovation is rare. The brand’s energy is instead directed towards new formats and seasonal editions.
You can find Maltesers Cake Bars, Chocolate Clusters, and an Instant Hot Chocolate Jar. Gifting is a major focus, with products like the Maltesers Truffles in both assorted advent calendars and gift boxes. Christmas is particularly important. The brand produces a Maltesers Reindeer in multipacks, individual treats, and as the theme for two separate advent calendars. The only mainstream flavour variant currently available is the white chocolate version, sold in a box format. An energy drink crossover would be something else entirely.
Monster Energy’s Profile
On the other side of the proposed partnership, Monster Energy has a huge portfolio of flavours. The brand is known for its aggressive marketing and visually loud can designs. The Mango Loco variant, part of its ‘Juice Monster’ line, is a carbonated juice blend containing mango, guava, white grape, apple, pineapple, orange, apricot, passion fruit, lemon and peach. It is one of the brand’s most popular and widely distributed flavours.
While energy drink flavours have appeared in some food categories, like chewing gum and pre-workout supplements, a mainstream crossover with a heritage chocolate brand like Maltesers remains purely conceptual. It’s a striking idea. But it’s not on any product roadmap we know about.
What the real range looks like
The genuine Maltesers range focuses on different formats and seasonal items rather than flavours. The current lineup includes Maltesers Truffles, Maltesers Cake Bars, and various Christmas-themed Maltesers Reindeer products. The only common flavour alternative is White Maltesers, making a Monster Energy collaboration a major departure.
