An Unlikely Crossover
This design proposes a significant departure for the Maltesers brand. The mockup shows a standard 102g sharing pouch, but its contents are a fusion with another Mars Wrigley heavyweight: Skittles. Tagged as a ‘Real Flavour Innovation Edition’, the concept reimagines the classic light, malty spheres with the ‘Taste the Rainbow’ slogan and distinctive fruit flavours.
The pack imagery suggests Maltesers with multi-coloured candy shells, mimicking the appearance of Skittles. This raises immediate questions about the product’s construction. Would it be a classic honeycomb malt centre with a crunchy, fruit-flavoured shell? Or would the flavouring be incorporated into the chocolate coating itself? The caption accompanying the image simply asks, ‘Would you crunch on this rainbow?’, leaving the specifics open.
The Current Maltesers Range
Maltesers has expanded its format considerably over the years, but has remained firmly within the territory of chocolate, malt, and honeycomb. The core offering is the original milk chocolate pouch, available in various sizes including funsize bags. Beyond that, the brand has explored different textures and occasions. You can find Maltesers Truffles, with a creamier centre, and the blocky, solid Maltesers Teasers bars.
The range also extends into other categories entirely. There are Maltesers Chocolate Clusters, Cake Bars, and even a jar of Instant Hot Chocolate. These products leverage the familiar malty flavour profile in new ways, from gift boxes to multipacks for lunchboxes. What unites them is their flavour consistency. A fruity variant like Skittles would be the first of its kind, taking the brand into a completely new confectionery space.
What the real range looks like
The genuine Maltesers UK range includes Maltesers Truffles, Maltesers Teasers gift boxes, Chocolate Clusters, and Cake Bars. A Skittles edition would be the first product to move away from the core chocolate and honeycomb flavour profile into the fruit confectionery space.
