Maltesers Malteaster Bunny

I am the proud owner of three gorgeous house rabbits (yes, I recently adopted a third at the end of 2010) and love all things bunny related. I also love chocolate, so the lead up to Easter is a great time for me! I usually go for the adorable Lindt chocolate bunnies with the cute bells on, but have recently seen these little Malteser bunnies and decided to give them a try. The chocolate bar weighs in at 29g and costs 65p each or currently on offer at 2 for £1.00 in Tesco's. The packaging is very attractive and eye-catching. It has the standard red colour that Maltesers normally use for their ... more

One of close friends is a Malteser fanatic, so she was horrified to doscover I had never eaten a chocolate Malteser bunny, oherwise known as the Malteaster.. She generously bought me one to try and I am now converted. I thought they were a bit expensive when I first saw them, but they do seem to be on price promotion quite often and I think they are nice enough to just about justify the cost. The bunnies are little rabbit shaped milk chocolates with the classic Malteser malt filling and "crisp, light honeycomb pieces". You can buy an individually red wrapped bunny weighing 29g for around 60 ... more

I absolutely love Maltesers and the bunny just sounded like a really sweet Easter treat. I was very excited to try it. I bought my bunny from Boots for 69p, which was quite expensive, but I've later learnt that they are available from Tesco for £59p, or £1 for 2, which is a much better deal and one which I may well take advantage of in the future. I suppose they're more expensive than a normal chocolate bar because of the novelty Easter value. The packet is the usual Malteser red and has a pretty accurate picture of the bunny. One bunny is 157 calories which isn't healthy but a lot better than ... more

I noticed these Maltesers special Easter edition chocolate bars last year and since I enjoy trying new products was very tempted to try them, however, I managed to resist said temptation at the time. Well today when I saw them in WHSmiths I could no longer resist when I saw them on offer at the price of 2 for £1 ( I was using up some money on a gift card, so felt I could justify the treat!). The chocolate comes in a small packet in the characteristic red colour of the regular Maltesers products. You are reassured on the back of the product that "No actual Maltesers were hurt during the making ... more

Just thought I'd write a review about these chocolate bars because they are absolutely amazing. They were released last year and are a variation on Maltesers. They are great for children because of the unique shape. The bar itself it shaped like a bunny and has the Malteser honeycomb inside with a thin layer of chocolate on the outside. The combination is fantastic and I think better than Maltesers themselves. I would say its roughly 70% honeycomb to 30% chocolate. One downside is that these bars are quite small and so don't last very long! They are usually priced at around 60-70p which is a ... more
