Exact date of White Maltesers' comeback as iconic treat makes 'triumphant return'
Mark your calendars, as this beloved treat it about to make a comeback after 11 years.
It's the moment white Maltesers fans have been calling for. The beloved treat, which has been off shelves for the past 11 years, is just about to make a comeback - and we know the exact date they'll be back.
The white chocolate version of these airy and crunchy chocolate bites was first launched in 2003. Instantly becoming a fan favourite, they were sadly discontinued in 2014, causing many fans to be left distraught.
Over the past few years, there has been a surge in public demand for the treat to make a comeback, with some shoppers saying "bring back white Maltesers", while others have said, "will never understand why they stopped doing white Maltesers they were 10/10."
Well, it looks like prayers have been answered, as Mars Wrigley has officially confirmed that its beloved treat will officially be making a comeback, with White Maltesers returning to large and independent stores from June 16, 2025.
The confectionary giant, which also owns other beloved snacks such as Galaxy, M&Ms and Twix, has said that its popular snack will be back in single and sharing formats, although the price has yet to be confirmed.
White Maltesers mixes the iconic crunchy centre that consumers know and love, but instead of the classic milk chocolate, the classic bite-size treats are covered in a layer of white chocolate.
Some fans who have heard the news of the beloved snack's return have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their enthusiasm at the grand return, as one wrote: "This had better be true. White Maltesers making a comeback June/July time."
Another delighted shopper said: "I hope they are not messing with me… WHITE CHOCOLATE MALTESERS they were my fave and been dreaming of this day."
While another delighted fan wrote: "If white Maltesers are really coming back then I'm going to cry with joy."
Speaking on the return of the treat, a spokesperson from Mars Wrigley said: "We're delighted to bring Maltesers White Chocolate back for the passionate fans who have been anticipating their return for years!
"Maltesers is all about encouraging people to look on the light side of life and so definitely try them if you've not done so before."
If the imminent return of white Malteasers has chocoholics counting down the days, then picking up the classic version of the treat might help satisfy their cravings.
Right now on Amazon, a case of 40 bags (37g) of Malteasers is £32.98. That works out at just 82p per bag for the fan favourite snack.
White Malteasers are not the only iconic treat to make a comeback this year, after Mars Wrigley also brought back the nostalgic Milky Way Crispy Rolls in February.
A beloved staple by many, the chocolate snack went on a long three year hiatus, leading to many fans to sign a petition demanding their return - and they officially came back in early February with two new flavours.
A Mars Wrigley spokesperson said at the time: 'We never anticipated just how passionate the response would be when Milky Way Crispy Rolls were discontinued. It became clear that this iconic treat holds a special place in people's hearts, and we knew we had to bring it back!'
Meanwhile, the White Maltesers will make their comeback to shelves from June 16.

Hayley was impressed as soon as she put it on, saying: "You know what I love about it on me. first of all I can fit my boobs in it. "I love the length of the sleeve that hides my wobbly arms. It has pockets." The mum said she wasn't usually a fan of pockets as it makes her hips look bigger, but didn't find it a problem with this dress. The dress was a success for both as her daughter gave it a thumbs up and it cost just £49.50. Next, the pair tried on a maxi red paisley dress, but it didn't impress them as much.

I got hypnotised to get over my fear of spiders – I couldn't believe the results
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HYPNOTIST Fraser Penman is a man on a mission to bring out the superhero in every Scot using his psychological knowhow. The 30-year-old hypnotherapist, who hails from East Kilbride, is setting out to help people be the best version of themselves. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 15 Hypnotist Fraser Penman wants to unleash the inner superhero in everyone Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Our fearful five met with Fraser to see if he could cure their worst phobias Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Our jittery journo Harry Williamson wanted to be cured of his fear of spiders Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Fraser gets to work curing our man Harry and reader Wendy of their arachnophobia Credit: Andrew Barr He not only credits hypnosis for his life in the spotlight but also for saving his life after suffering years of vicious bullying after being born with oculocutaneous albinism. Under his persona as Penman the Imaginator, he says he can cure people of their worst fears and transform their lives and use his skills to help people the way he helped himself. He is set to bring his amazing skills to the Edinburgh Fringe this year. So the Psychological Influencer gathered a small group of Scottish Sun readers, including our reporter Harry Williamson, and put his skills to the test. Our fearful five gathered with Fraser inside the Alona Hotel at M&D's at Strathclyde Park. They had all signed up to see if we could get rid of being afraid of the things that scare them most. All five of us suffered being petrified of things like spiders and snakes to sharks and public speaking. Soon Penman the Imaginator had them all under his spell, and he set about curing the worst fears. I joined fellow arachnaphobe Wendy Gifford, 56, to have our fear of the eight-legged critters taken away for good. When Amazonia zoologist Amanda Gott produced Val, a Chile Rose Tarantula, Wendy wasted no time in leaping from her seat. Meanwhile I was so petrified, I was glued to my seat he only managed to say "no" while shuffling back in the chair. But soon the cobweb of fear was about to be dusted away for good. I thought Derren Brown was fake until I copied him and made someone pass out, says albino hypnotist Fraser Penman We had both confessed we hated spiders all of our lives and would run-a-mile if we spotted one in the house. While put to sleep, Penman the Imaginator used his skills to convince Wendy and I the sight of spiders would no longer have us quaking in our boots. At a click of his fingers - we both woke up to find animal-expert Amanda had returned with Val the tarantula. And much to the shock of all who knew us, the previous spine-chilling reactions we had a mere five minutes before had completely vanished! 15 They met with Fraser at The Alona Hotel to put his skills to the test Credit: Andrew Barr 15 The hypnotist managed to get our group over their fears Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Wendy Gifford went from hating spiders to wanting one as a pet Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Our man Harry does what he never thought he could and gave a tarantula a high five Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Lewis Thomson felt like Ace Ventura after getting over his fear of snakes Credit: Andrew Barr Then I did something I never thought I would ever do, giving a tarantula a high five! I felt an overwhelming sense of amazement that I was confidently holding a creature I had been afraid of for over 20 years. I had gone from being completely petrified to being completely fascinated and even enjoying watching the furry critter as each leg walked over my hand. Not only that but I was surprised when I found myself asking Amanda: "Can I hold the spider again?" It was safe to say my fear of spiders had been well and truly cured. What is it like being hypnotised? BY HARRY WILLIAMSON When I first met Fraser Penman he told me he would change the way I view hypnosis. Before meeting the Psychological Influencer my view of it was probably the same as anyone else's. It conjured up images of mind control and performing daft stunts on a stage for friends and relatives to laugh about for years to come. But I couldn't have been more wrong. I thought it would be like a blackout with no sense of where I was or what was going on, and that admittedly made me quite wary when agreeing to do it. But the entire time I was hypnotised I was fully aware of my surroundings, where I was, who I was with and most importantly, what I was doing. Fraser explained in great detail how the hypnotic language patterns would communicate and influence our subconscious minds. To bust arguably the biggest myth of them all, I was fully aware of every single thing I was doing while hypnotised. Whether it was taking deep breaths, relaxing and going to sleep, raising my arms in the air, forgetting the number four existed or even the unthinkable like tackling my biggest fear and giving a spider a high-five. Everything I was doing just felt like instinct, like it was the right thing to do. I didn't feel out of control at any point. There is no mind control, no sinister energies, blackouts or dazed and confused looks after thinking you are the Prime Minister for the past five minutes. Fraser then removes all of the hypnotic instructions before you leave. On both occasions I was hypnotised, I ended up being wowed by the amazing feeling after it, almost a sense of disbelief, but once it sinks in the process gives you a real energy boost and puts a spring in your step. It is a totally relaxing and refreshing experience, which is probably why I was told the day you are hypnotised you are guaranteed to sleep like a baby that night. There is no real way to put into words if you never have experienced hypnosis, it truly is something that needs to be done to be understood. But what was even more amazing was Wendy, who was sent leaping from her chair at the sight of Val the spider now holding her and saying she wanted to get one as a PET and rather appropriately name it Webster. She said: "When I was holding the spider, I almost couldn't believe it was happening but I don't feel that scared of them now." Another miraculous moment came when Lewis Thomson, 32, went from rating his fear of snakes at a solid ten out of ten to loving one of the scaly reptiles. He was put under the spell during and soon met Ava, a Royal Python. His trembling fear of the creatured ended up slithering away as he proclaimed: "This is amazing. I feel like Ace Ventura!" Alrighty then. I thought Derren Brown was fake until I copied him and made someone pass out BY MATT BENDORIS FRASER Penman sat down with The Scottish Sun to discuss his journey to become the psychological influencer. He used Derren Brown was faking it - until he had a hairy moment when he copied the TV sensation's techniques and made someone pass out in a barber shop. The 30-year-old from East Kilbride, was training to be a primary school teacher when he became 'fascinated' with the Londoner's mind control techniques. He said: "I took a deep dive into the neuroscience behind it and I fell in love with it and taught myself about hypnosis through books and DVDs, which I watched a thousand times. 'Then one day I was in the barber shop getting a haircut and they were speaking about hypnosis and I piped up 'I'm a hypnotist' even though I'd never hypnotised a person in my life. 'I repeated what I'd learned from the DVD and this person dropped like a fly, unconscious, right in front of me. 'Inside my head, I'm thinking, 'oh my goodness, this crap works'. 'I quickly counted to three and woke that person straight back up. But that was the turning point for me.' But Penman's amazing skills can work the other way. Wendy Gifford, 56, came along to have her fear of sharks while wild swimming cured. But the self-confessed spider lover agreed to show how amazing Fraser Penman's power of the mind. In mere minutes he had her loving spiders to leaping from her seat and screaming "get it away". The amazing impact stunned her partner Michael Kiernan who said: "I can't believe that. She's never had a problem with spiders before, she actually loves them. That was just the first unbelievable moment of the day for Michael, who wanted his fear of public speaking to go away for good. 15 Our group of five all felt cured Credit: Andrew Barr 15 They were all left feeling amazed by the end Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Michael Kiernan got over his fear of public speaking and even addressed the room Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Fiona Chambers came to get over her fear of sharks and seals while in deep water Credit: Andrew Barr 15 Fraser was helped out by Amazonia zoologist Amanda Gott Credit: Andrew Barr Penman used his breathtaking skills to install a new confidence in the NHS nurse, so much so that he stood up and gave the goodbye speech to Fraser, the group, and the roomful of strangers working the event. He said: "I can really feel a difference and I'm not just saying that. "I would never have got up and spoken to a room before walking through that door today and I'll definitely be using this new confidence going forward." Even more Scots are set to discover the best version of themselves as Fraser takes his show to the Fringe this year. He told The Scottish Sun: "I am super excited ti change people's perception of what they believe to be true and bring out the inner superhero in everyone. "I'm putting a modern twist on an age old art and hopefully everyone who comes to the show will leave with some kind of connection." Penman – The Imaginator – YOU is on at The Gilded Balloon from July 30 to August 24.
