As a confectionery expert with a deep understanding of the history and production of sweets, I can tell you that Maltesers are not from Malta. They are a type of chocolate-covered malted milk ball confection that was invented by Forrest E. Mars Sr. of the Mars company in the United Kingdom in the 1930s. The name "Malteaser" is derived from the malted milk that is used in the center of the candy, which is a nod to the nutritious qualities of the malted milk itself, rather than a geographical reference to the island nation of Malta.

Originally, they were referred to as Energy Balls, an invention of Forrest Mars back in 1936. They derive their name from two words 'malt' and 'teasers'. Regardless of the spelling, Maltesers have no connection with the Maltese people or the Malta city.
