Seeing as the Malteser Truffles are always the first chocolates to go from a box of Celebrations, it was about time Maltesers brought out a year-round version, right?
So back in May we were excited to hear that they've done exactly that, as well as launching Malteser Buttons: little milk chocolate rounds filled with malt pieces. Delicious!
The truffles, are essentially like those yummy bunnies at Easter, except they're dome shaped with a flat bottom, a chocolate base full of malt balls and a creamy filling, covered in milk chocolate.
Rebecca Shepheard-Walwyn, Brand Director at Maltesers said: "We are extremely excited to be launching these new products. Maltesers Buttons is a new bitesize way to enjoy our signature crunchy chocolate while Maltesers Truffles is a perfect gift for any occasion – if you can bear to give them away!’

However since the announcement there has been no word on when and where the truffle gift box will be launched, until now! According to handy Instagram account NewFoodsUK, they're being spotted stocked in Sainsburys - hooray!
