Whoppers are candies with a chocolate coating over a malted milk center. They are almost identical to Maltesers, though fans of one will argue that it is better than the other. Maltesers are made by Mars, while Whoppers are made by Hershey. Around Easter, Whoppers adds a brightly colored candy coating to the balls and calls them Robin Eggs. Personally, I am a huge fan of the candy coating and look forward to picking up a bag of these around Easter. The extra crunch that comes before reaching the chocolate layer and melt-in-your-mouth malted center is great.
This year, I saw that Whoppers released a Strawberry Milkshake version of Robin Eggs. Instead of milk chocolate beneath the candy coating, there is a layer of white chocolate surrounding a strawberry-flavored malted milk center. Though they are a bit on the sweet side, the combination of strawberry and malt was perfect. I think that it would have worked with a milk chocolate, rather than the white, and ended up tasting like an ice cream sundae.
