M was, of course, for Maltesers, as most of my many musers managed to mention in the comments.
There were some other submissions:
- M&Ms. A majority of my readers are from across the mighty Atlantic so this was the most popular suggestion. Meh, as my eldest son might say – a meagre replacement for the greatest sweet (candy) to ever live.
- Malted Milk Balls: the imitation – almost a mockery – of my magnificent Maltesers. Meh meh.
- Meals. An assumption that makes sense, given my interminable meanderings on foods I most adore – Maltesers, mainly.
- Motherhood. Well, yes, maybe I like being a mum; but do I like being a mum as much as I like Maltesers? It’s a moot point.
- Muffins. Mojitos. Marzipan. Idiosyncratic Eye knows me well enough to remain with the food theme. However… Marzipan – yuck yuck yuck! Mojitos – got an impression it’s booze, so IE doesn’t know me that well yet. Muffins – good choice. But English or American…?
- Money. Not something I crave, unless it’s to pay for the Maltesers I’ve amassed.
- Aquatom was right: M’s for many of ’em. Yes, Tom; I did see what you did there. Consider me cheesy grinning.
- Patti suggested it was so easy, I should write another post. Here it be, Patti.
- Marabou chocolate was sent to me by comment link. Many compliments to my new best mate, Viveka, who knows a request for a bribe when she hears one.
- Commiserations to my ex-best mate, Viveka, who made the mistake of imagining I wouldn’t want to receive many more Maltesers than I presently have stashed in my store room.
- More congratulations go to Slip Martin (my son’s name for him), who magnificently monitored over many of my posts that there was only one word in the English language that started with M…MALTESERS. A man of discernment.
Summary: Mention Maltesers and my mood is one of amiable harmony and merriment; and you will be gifted with the honorarium of an over-emmed post.
Many thanks for making me smile.
And drool.

M will always be for Maltesers but muffins is good, only the English kind, not the American kind, which can’t hold a candle to their English cousins.

You’ve set your fan base a twitter with images of the beloved Malteser. I was surprised that someone mentioned money because that is certainly not one of your passions. Money is a necessary thing but it doesn’t drive some of us like it does others. M & M’s have gotten a little crazy over here, they will now slap anything in a coated candy shell.
T is for Tilly and M is for Malteser’s. That should be in the dictionary complete with pictures.

Meh? If eaten one at a time, perhaps. The idea of M & Ms is to shovel as many in your mouth at one time as will fit, thus allowing the tastes to overwhelm! I am not dainty with my bowl (emphasis on the word “bowl”) of M & Ms…but I admit I have never had a Malteaser. I must see what I can do about that. I’m not opposed to having my own candy taste test!

I am days late and by way of apology I offer
Malteser Crunchies
9ozs Digestive Biscuits 4ozs Margarine
6ozs Milk Chocolate 2 tblsp Golden Syrup
1 Egg, beaten 5ozs White Chocolate
8ozs Maltesers (leave 10 for topping)
Crush biscuits. Melt margarine, milk chocolate and syrup over a low heat. Add beaten egg and simmer for 1 minute. Mix in crushed biscuits and whole Maltesers. Press mixture into a swiss roll tin and leave to cool. Melt white chocolate and spread over biscuit mixture. Crush remaining maltesers and sprinkle over the white chocolate. Leave in the fridge to set. Cut into squares after ½ an hour, but before the mixture has set.
