Dessert makes everything better. Don’t question me. It’s science. But dessert is also not exactly the easiest thing to enjoy when you’re stuck behind a desk (trust me, trying to scrape chocolate cake out of your computer keyboard is not a fun way to spend a Tuesday morning). 

So it is with delight that I can be the bearer of good news for fans of that all-important final course: Maltesers has released a new dessert range that you can enjoy anywhere, anytime, without having to worry about sticky crumbs clogging up your laptop. And, in a particularly sweet spin, we here in Australia get to be the first to try it. 

Maltesers Desserts Dark Choc Black Forest Gateau takes inspiration from the classic German dessert, with that famous crisp malt centre coated in a smooth dark choc that comes with notes of cherry and sponge cake.

Or, if a long Italian evening is more your jam, go for Maltesers Desserts Milk Choc Tiramisu. In a bite-sized spin on the traditional Italian dessert, this features milk chocolate flavoured with coffee and whipped cream.

I’ll never need to clean pudding stains off my mouse pad again. My mates in IT will be so pleased. 

Maltesers Dessert is launching exclusively at Woolworths stores around the country from this month, before rolling out nationwide to all retailers from July.
