Advantages: Yummy smooth chocolate; Crunchy hazelnuts

Disadvantages: None

I've never been that mad keen on Galaxy chocolate but when it's in the house I won't refuse a few pieces! I didn't know they did a Fruit & Nut version until I saw my mate with a big bar the other day!

It's actually called Galaxy With Raisins, Almonds And Hazelnuts and it's loads nicer than the Cadburys version I think.

The chocolate is typical Galaxy, mega rich and creamy with a gorgeous texture that starts melting as soon as you put it in your mouth. Each square has got loads of fruit and nuts in it, more than in a bar of Cadburys Fruit & Nut. You can see all the bumps at the bottom of the chocolate bar that shows how much is in it.

I'm glad that there are more nuts than raisins in this because I'm not mad keen on the squishy feel on raisins with chocolate, this is good though because there are tonnes of nuts and the raisins just give the chocolate a nice chewy texture.

The almonds were a bit disappointing because they've hardly got any flavour at all, but the hazelnuts are crunchy and majorly yummy. I think the Galaxy chocolate goes proper nice with the hazelnuts because of it being so creamy, it's just a gorgeous contrast of tastes and textures.

Even the raisins are quite nice, they're sweet and chewy but because there aren't that many in there they don't take over the taste of the chocolate like happens with some bars.

I quite enjoyed this bar, but if I'm honest next time I'll probably go for the Galaxy that has got the roasted and caramelised hazelnuts in it. Only because of me not liking raisins much though because even though they didn't spoil it for me I do prefer chocolate that hasn't got these squidy little things in! lol

My mate brought this big bar from Poundland so it was obviously £1.00. I enjoyed eating the couple of squares that I had but like I said I'll deffo go for a different variety next time.

Summary: Yummy Chocolate But I Won't Get This One With Raisins Again I Don't Think
