Encyclopedia
Treets are a brand of confectionery
sold by Mars Limited in the United Kingdom
, Switzerland
, France
and Germany
.
They came in three forms: Peanut Treets (sold in a yellow packet), Toffee Treets (sold in a blue packet) and Chocolate Treets (sold in a brown packet). All three were coated in a thin hard glazed shell which was a dark chocolate colour. The filling of the button-shaped Chocolate Treet was made of milk chocolate, a substance which also surrounded the peanut or toffee pellet in the other flavours. All three were marketed with the slogan "Treets melt in your mouth, not in your hand".
The brand was dropped by Mars in 1988. Chocolate Treets had already been replaced with the similar Minstrels
. Peanut Treets were dropped in favour of the multi-coloured Peanut M&M's
. Toffee Treets were later sold as Relays before being dropped altogether.
Mars reintroduced the Peanut Treets brand in the UK, France and Germany in July 2009. Peanut M&Ms continue to be sold in the UK alongside Treets.
