Advantages: tasty, inexpensive

Disadvantages: high in fat and calories

Although I am essentially a Cadbury's girl I do like the odd Minstrel here and there. I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to chocolate as I can only have a small amount before I start to feel a bit sick so any chocolate lasts me ages and often ends up in the fridge for months before being thrown away.

I bought a big bag of Minstrels because they were on offer, I think they were about £1.65 for a 225g bag so I decided they'd be ok to keep in the fridge for an occasional snack.

I do really like Minstrels though, the crispy shell on the outside and the smooth, creamy chocolate centre makes them a favourite of mine. I can confirm however the crispy shell does not stop them melting in your hand! I had 4 Minstrels in my hand for a few minutes last night and ended up with a chocolatey mess in my hand so they do melt in your hand and your mouth!

They are however very high in calories, 503 calories for 100g is alot even for chocolate! And 22.2g of fat for the same amount is very high indeed. It's a good job I can only eat 4-5 of these in a sitting.

They are an excellent combination of smooth and creamy chocolate in the centre with a slightly bitter crispy shell though so as long as they are eaten in moderation I say try them!

Summary: Nice for an occasional treat
