Galaxy Instant

Those of you in Brum this week will know it's cold. Very cold. So what does a girl do when she's freeeeeezing? She reaches for the hot chocolate, of course! I had a couple of freebie sachets of Galaxy hot chocolate in the post this morning and decided to test one out tonight for two reasons - to warm me up and so I can write this op. I love hot chocolate of any description. Cocoa made with milk and slightly under a tonne in weight of sugar, Options low fat hot chocolate for when I'm dieting, McDonalds hot chocolate... So let's see how this small brown sachet is going to measure up. Making the drink up is simplicity itself. Simply boil the kettle, add a ...  Read the complete review

It's been cold and windy in Birmingham today and after an aborted attempt to get to the Xmas lights switch on in town with my little sister and her mate I needed something to warm me up when I got in. I normally have hot chocolate that you make with milk cos it's so easy to make in the microwave but all we'd got in was Galaxy instant hot chocolate. I still wanted some so I boiled the kettle and measured out 4 heaped teaspoons of the powder, I thought that was going to be a bit too much powder but it stirred into the boiling water dead easy and didn't leave and clumps or blobs. The flavour is yummy, it's very chocolatey and has got a lovely ...  Read the complete review

I decided to buy a tub of this hot chocolate because I'd recently been buying the sachets, and it occurred to me how much cheaper it would be in the long run. At £1.92 for 400g in Tesco, it worked out cheaper than other brands such as Aero, so I grabbed a tub. What I always tend to find with powered hot chocolates which are made with water is that they taste... watery - and I hate it. When I opened the tub it was just over ¾ full, which isn't too bad, but still wastes a bit of packaging and looks a little deceiving. The instructions state to use 4 heaped teaspoons of powder for each mug of hot chocolate. I'm all for this, but it does take up a ...  Read the complete review

I don't like coffee and although I do like a cup of tea, I don't drink it so often. I prefer juice, but love a mug of Hot Chocolate, especially if i'm not feeling that great. I had never tried Galaxy Hot Chocolate befor but I got a 400g tub from Poundland for - you guessed it £1!. Things are always worth a try when they are on offer. I think in most supermarkets this costs around £1.50. The design of the jar has the same colourings are on a bar of Galaxy chocolate. It is dark brown swirls through lighter brown and the Galaxy writing is in deep brown. To drink this you scoop 4 teaspoons into hot water. You can add a dash of milk, but I ...  Read the complete review

My latest favourite hot chocolate. As you can probably see from my past reviews I am a big fan of hot drinks and especially hot chocolates! I think they are just the ticket when you come in from work and need a treat, perfect to drink while having a big bubble bath....perfect anytime if you ask me. Most instant hot chocolates recommend you use just hot water with the powder. I ALWAYS use at least half milk, sometimes all milk (warmed in the microwave first) if I want a luxurious treat. If I have any in (which is quite often) I add squirty cream and mini marshmallows on top! This jar was £1 from Home Bargains, most supermarkets ...  Read the complete review
