Shoppers across the UK are rushing to Amazon to stock up on a beloved Christmas treat that has received a significant price cut just in time for the festive season. A massive pack of 32 Maltesers Reindeer chocolate bars has been reduced to under £20, offering a sweet deal for families.
The Festive Bargain Details
Amazon has dropped the price of its jumbo 32-pack of Maltesers Reindeer bars to just £18.99. This represents a substantial saving, as the bundle is normally priced at £29.44. The 35% discount means that each individually wrapped chocolate bar costs approximately 59p, which is cheaper than buying them individually from major supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's.
The Maltesers Reindeer, which first appeared in shops around 2013 under the name 'Merryteaser Reindeer', has become a seasonal staple. The classic milk chocolate reindeer, filled with the signature Maltesers honeycomb centre, remains a firm favourite, though flavoured spin-offs like a gingerbread version have also emerged.
Shopper Reactions and Potential Issues
Customer reviews for the product are overwhelmingly positive, with hundreds of shoppers leaving glowing feedback. One happy customer remarked they were delicious and were finished within days, while another mentioned they are perfect for stashing away for Christmas. A creative grandparent shared that they used the bars to fill homemade Christmas crackers, which were a hit with the grandchildren.
However, a small number of shoppers reported an issue where the chocolate had 'bloomed', developing a white, dusty appearance upon delivery. This is a cosmetic issue caused by temperature changes during storage or transit and does not mean the chocolate is unsafe to eat. Despite this, some customers expressed disappointment with the product's appearance upon arrival.
Other Sweet Deals and a Note on Health
Amazon's Black Friday sale features other bulk chocolate offers for the festive period, including a 2kg box of Cadbury Heroes for £26.75 and a 1kg bag of Assorted Lindt Truffles for £30.
While indulging in festive treats is part of the Christmas joy, it's important to remember the health implications of overconsumption. Maintaining a balanced diet is crucial for overall well-being, and cutting down on sugar can help manage weight and reduce the risk of long-term health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
