Maverick was a chocolate bar snack manufactured by Nestlé Rowntree and marketed in the UK.

The snack, which was similar to the Fuse bar sold by Nestlé Rowntree competitor Cadbury, was launched in 1997 and contained caramel, raisins and biscuit and toffee pieces covered in milk chocolate. Three years after its launch, the product was discontinued. Maverick bars are not biscuits.

The Maverick bars featured in the British comedy series The League of Gentlemen. In the sketch, a father ("Pop") disowns his adult son because of the son's inability to prevent a theft of Maverick bars from a booth the father owns.
