Maltesers Chocolate Box

Maltesers are a global confectionery brand consisting of a malt honeycomb center surrounded by milk chocolate. Originally created by Forrest Mars Sr. in 1936, the brand was first sold in the United Kingdom in 1937. It was initially marketed as 'energy balls' and specifically targeted towards women as a lighter alternative to traditional chocolates.

Today, Maltesers are owned by Mars, Incorporated, a major American multinational manufacturer. While the brand has British origins and maintains significant production facilities in the UK (such as the Slough factory), it is also manufactured in multiple locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. Mars continues to manage the brand as part of its diverse global snacking portfolio, maintaining its status as one of the world's most recognizable chocolate treats.
