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.
