Anyone else wish they didn't have the chocolate around them? It's just a way of slowing you from getting to the delicious honeycomb... I can't eat them without nibbling the chocolate off and then just putting the honeycomb in my mouth... mmmmmmmmmmmmm :) . My bf just pops them in his mouth and it's gone in a second :eek: this actually annoys me :D
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you

    NO NO NO! You have to suck them so that the chocolate melts off in your mouth and the honeycomb crumbles. Any other way is mere folly. Your way is preferable to your boyfriend's though, that's just wasteful. Why doesn't he just buy some shit, inferior confectionary if he isn't going to eat it in a manner that exploits the dual nature of the malteser?

    It's blasphemy to eat a Malteser without sucking it til it disappears.

    Nope, the chocolatey taste overcomes the honeycomb when you do that... it's just not right!

    GIG I agree with the hot chocolate :) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    The mixture of the melting chocolate and crumbling honeycomb is amazing though. You don't get that if you nibble it off!

    HONESTLY :D:D:D

    It's possible to suck the chocolate off without disintegrating the yummy innards.

    I disagree... I much prefer the honeycomb melting slowly to it simply crumbling... it lasts longer when you melt it slowly sans chocolate :)

    I'll let you off since at least you don't just crunch them like that boyfriend of yours (you're going to want to sort that out, it can only be an omen of things to come), but I have to disagree strongly and advise you to change your ways :p

    Seriously though, wouldn't it be AMAZING if you could maltesers the size of basketballs?

    Nope, I just sucked the chocolate off and, when it was down to the honeycomb still intact, I removed it from my mouth and there was chocolate embedded in it :o

    If you bite the chocolate off, it's just pure clean honeycomb :)

    :eek: wow, you could just lick them til they're gone :o that would be my definition of pure bliss :) I'd imagine my face would be COVERED in chocolate afterwards :D

    I prefer the rugby ball shaped ones out of Celebrations.:)

    I'd say a way to assure a real Malteser rush is to emply at least half of a standard sized bag into your gob, and munch your way through the unique blend of textures, then spend a few minutes retrieving stray, and stubborn titbits from your teeth with your tongue :)

    *Kicking myself for buying biscuits instead of maltesers when I went food shopping earlier*

    They are definitely awesome and easily the best celebrations but the chocolate/honeycombe ratio is way off. I don't ask for less chocolate, just more honeycomb. Conclusion being, make them bigger goddamnit.

    See I agree they should be bigger...but keeping the correct chocolate/honeycomb ratio is imperative. Anything else just isn't cricket y'know?

    So, does the fact that the larger ones are made 'rugby ball' shaped mean that the chocolate/honeycombe ratio is off balance then? :confused:

    I'm struggling to think what they are like, you make them sound pretty different to a real Malteser, is that how they are?

    They are very different. they have small crispy honeycomb bits filtered through chocolate, rather than a honeycomb ball with chocolate on it.

    Pah, that sounds rubbish :mad: no wonder I have no memory of them..also I have 3 kids, so whenever a box, or a tin of Celebrations comes into my house, they instantly dissapear !
