Meet The Fluffermalt: Our New Marshmallow, Malt & Caramel Chocolate Bar

Every so often a bar comes off the bench in Mullingar and the whole kitchen goes quiet for a second. The Fluffermalt was one of those. Marshmallow, malt and caramel had been circling each other on the test table for months, and once they landed in one bar there was no arguing with it.

So here it is, officially: The Fluffermalt, our newest handmade chocolate bar, wrapped in gold foil and handmade in small batches by our Master Chocolatiers and available online and in our shops now.

What’s inside The Fluffermalt

Three things, layered on purpose so you get all of them in every bite.

• Fluffy marshmallow. Soft, pillowy and generous. This is the “fluffer” and it’s what makes the bar feel lighter than it has any right to.
• Crunchy chocolate malt balls. The “malt”. They give the bar its crunch and that toasty, malted-milk flavour you’ll recognise from about three seconds in.
• Gooey caramel. Rich, slow and chewy, running through the middle so the marshmallow and the malt have something to hold on to.

All of it is wrapped in our signature creamy milk chocolate: a minimum of 34% cocoa solids and 21% milk solids, six ingredients, no palm oil and no cheap substitutes. It’s the same chocolate we use across the whole range, which is why the Fluffermalt tastes like a Sugar Plum bar first and a novelty second.

Why marshmallow, malt and caramel?

Because they’re the three textures people ask us about most. Our Rocky Road Clusters have always sold on marshmallow, the malt question comes up every time someone tries a chocolate malt ball at the pick ‘n’ mix wall, and caramel is caramel. Putting them together wasn’t a stretch. Getting the balance right so no single one takes over took a lot longer.

The result sits somewhere between a rocky road and a malted milkshake, in bar form. Sweet, creamy, crunchy and fluffy, in that order.

Handmade in Mullingar, fresh every day

Like everything we make, the Fluffermalt is handcrafted in our Mullingar kitchen by chef-trained chocolatiers, in small batches, fresh each day. We temper the chocolate ourselves, make the caramel from scratch and finish every bar by hand. That’s also why you’ll see slight differences from bar to bar; no two are poured exactly alike.

The Fluffermalt is gelatine free and suitable for vegetarians. Full ingredient and allergen details are on the product page.

How to enjoy it

Straight from the wrapper is the honest answer. If you want to make an occasion of it, a few things we’ve tried in the shop:

• Break it into chunks over vanilla ice cream. The caramel softens and the malt stays crunchy.
• Serve it with a strong coffee. The malt and the roast get on very well.
• Melt a couple of squares into hot milk for a malted hot chocolate. Our Milk Choc Bombs are the shortcut if you’d rather not stand at the hob.

Where to get The Fluffermalt

It’s available online now at €9.95, with delivery across Ireland and Northern Ireland. You’ll also find it on the shelves in Mullingar, Kildare Village and our new shop on Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork.

Frequently asked questions

Is The Fluffermalt gluten free?

No. The Fluffermalt isn’t listed as gluten free (malted ingredients are made with barley), so it isn’t one for a gluten-free diet. Our Pistachio Cream Choc Bar and Salted Caramel Bar are gluten free if you’re looking for a bar that is.

How long does it keep?

Best enjoyed within a few weeks of purchase, stored somewhere cool and dry. The best-before date is on the wrapper.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Order it on its own or as part of a gift box and we’ll deliver it anywhere in Ireland. Add a greeting card at checkout if you’d like a message included.
