Iconic Mars Wrigley brand, Maltesers, is bringing back a fan-favourite flavour for a berry sweet treat. Maltesers Raspberry is returning to deliver the classic Maltesers crunch with a delicious sweet twist.

Maltesers Raspberry was originally launched as an Australian exclusive in 2018 and is made at Mars Wrigley’s Ballarat factory. Since its disappearance from supermarket shelves in 2020, there has been strong demand from fans across Maltesers’ social media platforms to bring it back.

Mars Wrigley bitesize portfolio director, Michelle Gazzola, said the company was so excited to return Maltesers Raspberry to Australian shelves.

“The product has been one of our most-loved flavour variations over the last eight years, so we suspect there will be some very happy Maltesers fans around the country when they hear the news,” said Gazzola.

“The impressive demand, combined with the ever-growing popularity of raspberry as a top chocolate pairing, made this an easy decision to bring the product back to shelves.”

Each bite of Maltesers Raspberry features a crispy malt centre, complimented by a raspberry-infused milk chocolate.

Maltesers Raspberry will be available to purchase at Coles in February and Woolworths in March for RRP $6.00.
