Mint Maltesers Cake Bars (Tesco) By @Cinabar

I spotted these Mint Maltesers Cake Bars in Tesco, and thought I’d pick them up. I was intrigued by the flavour combination, with both malt and mint. They are in smart green packaging and looked cooling for this weather. Inside the pack are five bars, and they looked perfect for my afternoon sweet tooth craving.

Under the chocolate is a malt flavoured creme and it has mint crystals running through it. The sponge is also mint flavoured. I gave it a try and the first thing was the textures. The sugar crystals do add a pleasing crunch and super hit of mint. There is more mint in there too and these cake bars really are a proper chocolate mint affair. The only problem was that I couldn’t spot the malt. I mean, maybe there was a little in the background but the whole thing screamed chocolate mint, so much so the malt's voice was lost.

The product is made by Maltesers, so it was odd that the malt is so very mild that they didn’t seem particularly on brand. However, there is a lot of mint in this, and I love mint. I stored these in the fridge and they were super refreshing with an iced latte. A nice cooling treat, they just could have done with turning up the malt.
