Advantages: Creamy smooth chocolate

Disadvantages: Very sweet and sickly

There is an ongoing debate in our household when it comes to chocolate with Mr Lols nd I sitting in two different camps. He is in the Cadbury's camp preferring his chocolate to be less creamy and likes it to be put in the fridge first. I am the opposite preferring Galaxy with its creamy taste and it has to be served in one way only softer and kept at room temperature.

***Packaging***

Galaxy Chocolate comes in a standard sized "six piece" bar which is 46g. This is wrapped in a brown chocolate wrapped. The wrapper is predominantly a light brown wrapper with darker chocolate ripples across the bar. Galaxy is written in dark brown font. The wrapper portrays a very smooth image which is how Galaxy chocolate is described to taste.

The larger bars of Galaxy chocolate sold in supermarkets also have a similar wrapper which is consistent with the "smooth" brand image that Galaxy chocolate has.


***Price***

A standard 46g bar of Galaxy chocolate costs 55p in my local newsagent. This is reasonable value and priced exactly the same as a standard "six piece" bar of Cadbury's chocolate. Obviously if you want to spend less on a chocolate bar opt for a supermarket own brand chocolate bar!

***Galaxy Milk Chocolate***

As soon as you open the wrapper you are greeted by light brown creamy looking milk chocolate. A waved design is imprinted on the six pieces of chocolate on the bar. I feel that the Galaxy chocolate is slightly lighter brown than other milk chocolate bars.

The scent of the chocolate smells delicious, this is very rich sweet and creamy and enough to make your mouth water.

As soon as you bite into the chocolate you can taste the sweet rich creamy flavour. This develops the longer the chocolate is in your mouth and if you leave it to melt in your mouth you can taste a very creamy soft sweet chocolately taste. Galaxy milk chocolate has a very distinctive flavour as it really is so creamy and is the creamiest chocolate I have tasted. This is great for chocolate lovers but for those that like their chocolate less creamy they may find Galaxy a little too sickly.

I personally prefer chocolate to be served at room temperature and do not like "firm" milk chocolate. Galaxy fits this criteria perfectly. At room temperature it melts in your mouth very easily and this emphasises the creamy smooth flavour. Even if you put this chocolate in the fridge the chocolate goes firm but not as firm as Cadbury's chocolate does and melts a lot quicker in your mouth.

***Overall***

Galaxy milk chocolate is great for those that like their chocolate extremely sweet creamy and smooth and have a particularly sweet tooth. For those that find chocolate quite sickly and like a more of a "firm" milk chocolate you will probably not find Galaxy as delicious and may find that this chocolate is too sickly for your taste. This is Mr Lools' opinion of Galaxy which in my opinion is a good thing as it means more Galaxy chocolate for me.... Mmmmmmmm yummy!
