Make no mistake Galaxy is actually one of my favorite chocolate makers. So it was only natural for me to pick up a Galaxy Instant Hot chocolate!!! Company History; The Galaxy brand was launched in 1960 and in 1986 the company was bought by Mars. The company is known as Dove in many countries such as Holland and Germany. It is highly popular in the Middle east and the UK. Although Cadbury is bigger Galaxy has actually outdone Cadbury in certain products. In the USA although it is known as Dove the taste is different to suit the American market. Quality; Although the drinking chocolate is relatively smooth the drinking chocolate is packed with many ...  Read the complete review

I have to say, this stuff has got me through one harsh, heating-less winter in Spain, and it's about to get me through another. Who would have thought that a region of Spain that gets 300 days of sunshine a year could be so cold for 3 months of the year? The best thing about this drink is that you can make it with only hot water, rather than milk, and, unlike many other makes of hot chocolate I've tried, it still tastes good. Admittedly, it probably tastes better with milk, but if you wanted a nice, comforting yet convenient drink to take away travelling, for example, this one's perfect, as long as you've got a kettle. The main disadvantage is that ...  Read the complete review

With the weather having been cold and grim, I've been turning even more than usual to hot drinks to keep me cheery. Usually, I'm a tea girl, but recently I've been going to a lot of school coffee mornings where hot chocolate has been on offer, and I've started to develop something of an addiction . The brand they were using at the school coffee mornings was Galaxy Instant - so when I went to Asda, that was what I picked up . I'm afraid I can't remember what I paid for my 240g jar, but I believe it was something between around the quid fifty mark . You can see the packaging clearly in the photo above, so I won't harp on overly much about it, I'll simply ...  Read the complete review

Galaxy is one of my favorite types pf chocolate so when I saw Galaxy hot chocolate powder in my local Poundland I had to grab a tub! The tub is the same as the one pictires, a sort of hour glass shape with swirling patterns and brown writing. My tub says special offer £1.49, but I got mine for one pound! I love hot chocolate but as I am trying to loose weight I can not have the type of chocolate you make up with milk, however those you make with water are usually disapointing as they do not have much flavour, I bought this hoping that fact that it was a well known brand would mean it was of good quality. The tub contains 240g of chocolate ...  Read the complete review

I often enjoy a hot drink at night-time, and one drink that I buy regularly is hot chocolate. I have tried out several brands and types over the years and have found that some are better than others, and as you would expect, the quality of a hot chocolate product is often reflected in the price of the item. When it comes to chocolate, my preferred brand is 'Cadbury's', and so I tend to try and pick out hot chocolate products in this brand, if I am not buying a supermarket-own brand product. I had never before tried a hot chocolate from the well-known "Galaxy" brand, but when I saw it for sale recently, I decided to give it a try out. I ...  Read the complete review
