Advantages: Tasty, gives you a chocolate hit.

Disadvantages: Hard to read packaging, unhealthy

I'm sitting eating these as I type as they are by far my favourite chocolate treat. I am reviewing the 225g pack as they are left over from last nights cinema trip. This size bag is perfect for sharing and lasts a long time. Minstrels are delicous galaxy chocolate discs coated in a crisp sugar shell. As they are part of the galaxy range it's easy to say that if you like galaxy chocolate you'll love these. As you pop one in your mouth if you just wait the shell dissolves leaving delicious melted chocolate behind. This is how I always eat them it makes them last longer and you know your in for a treat as soon as the shell is gone.

After writing that I feel i must review the packaging. It is extremely distinctive of the galaxy brand and is quite luxurious looking. The font on the front is easily readable and attractive. The back of the back however is not so good, the ingredients and nutritional info is in a small gold font which is near impossible to read as the gold blends in with the brown background. The pack is easy to open with a tear off section at the top but they provide a sticker to reseal the pack by folding the top over and holding it down with the sticker.

Summary: Great as a treat, but not too healthy so don't over do it!
