I recently bought a selection of 'movie' foods to prepare us for the forthcoming winter months when we don't fancy going out and a night in front of the TV in the warm is really appealing. Knowing my fiancé is a fan of Mars Planets I threw them in the trolley, and must admit I really enjoyed them, although I'm not usually fussed on Mars bars. The chocolates are small and circular in shape, ranging in size from small raisin to malteser size. They are made for sharing, although the pack is resealable so if you have anything resembling willpower, they will keep fresh if you put them back in the cupboard. The idea is that there are a variety of tastes to ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to start this review with a pretty bold and controversial comment - Us Brits make the best chocolate in the world. Now I have tried American, South African and many other countries version of the brown delight, but whether you are a Cadbury fan or a Mars brand fan we win hands down in the world chocolate league. For those who love the Mars brand of chocolate and in particular the famous Mars Bar, the new variation on this theme are Mars Planets. These are small round chocolate sweets with a mixture of three centres in the packet. Soft Centre: This is a fluffy nougat type filling, much like the fluffy filling in a original mars bar. This ...  Read the complete review

These seem to have the perfect promise, with things that go perfectly together. Nice, rich creamy chocolate, with crispy, chewy and soft fillings. However, they just don't seem to work. The packaging is quite nice, with a simple design that is easy to spot on the shelf. The writing is big, making it easy to read. It's easy to open, and the product is always fresh afterwards. The main idea, is to combine the different flavours as you please to create the taste of a Mars Bar. However, this fails, with just not having the same desirable taste and they don't melt in your mouth as much. The layer of chocolate is very thin, almost ...  Read the complete review

Mars planets are a chocolate product that I really dislike. They are fairly new as I think they only came out sometime last year and are basically an attempt at mars trying to expand their sales by coming up with a new concept from their old chocolate bar the mars bar which is already a good idea. The idea is little balls, three in total one a soft chewy kind of ingredient like the stuff you find at the bottom section of the mars bar. The other one a chewy caramel and the last one a kind of crispy one which I'm not sure why that in there are mars bars don't have this kind of ingredient in them. As a mars bar, all these things taste fantastic, but on ...  Read the complete review

Mars Planets are something that for whatever reason I've missed out on so far, probably more to do with the concept than anything else to be totally honest with you, I'm not a big fan of Mars bars I think their a bit sickly (that's coming from someone who is pretty much eating chocolate as a living now a days). So when the hoopla about Mars Planets came out I wasn't bothered, however as I struggle to find chocolate bars I've not tasted I've decided to finally try them. Coming in a packet, similar to that of Revels, Malteasers, M&M's and Minstrels, the packet is black like a Mars wrapper and it features cross sections of the three types of planet in the ...  Read the complete review
