Advantages: The taste, the price, the pakaging etc etc!

Disadvantages: You couldn't eat more than one at a time!

Differently to many of my friends, I am not a big chocolate lover. I don't eat many sweets and even more rarely will you catch me eating a bar of chocolate. I am however a cake lover! Pastry, cake bars, slices, doughnuts- I love them all!

The first time I ate one of these bars, I know it sounds corny but not only did it melt on my tongue but it also made my mouth water with every bite. A combination I didn't even know was possible!

THE PACKAGING:
Galaxy Cake Bars come in multi-packs of five and are made by McVities. The image on the front is a combination of the image of a bar of glaxy chocolate being unravelled as well as a picture of one of the bars on it's own. The word Galaxy is swirled across the packet in what is supposed to be chocolate! The individual bars have similar packaging, only minus the picture of the cake bar on thr front. Lets just say that the packaging looks just a tempting as it's contents! The information on the bottom of the packet is clearly written and accesable, along with the easy to find sell-by date and nutritional information. The pack is also easy to open and allows the little tray holding the cakes to slide out effortlessly.

THE CAKE:
The description on the front of the package reads as follows:
"Uncover a delicious chocolate sponge cake topped with chocolate cream and covered in smooth and creamy GALAXY milk chocolate".
As you open the packet a hand sized bar slides out. The bar is covered in a thin layer of Galaxy chocolate, that folds into your mouth with no trouble at all. The chocolate isn't rock solid, but soft and easy to chew! On the top of the cake the chocolate has been swirled into a small pattern. Once again I wonder whether these are supposed to be eaten or looked at!
My first thoughts as I bite into the cake bar are...."MMMMMMM"! Im not going to lie and try and disguise my initial thoughts with posh lingo- my first thoughts really are ..."MMMMM"!
The cake that acts as the bottom layer is soft and light. Infact the cake is actually a little too light if Im honest. It melts too quickly and just doesn't feel like cake on your tongue, but it tastes great all the same!
The next layer is the layer of chocolate cream, probably thicker than the layer of cake! The cream doesn't melt like the chocolate it just sits there on your tongue waiting to be savored while the chocolate around the outside encourages you to swallow!

GENERAL INFORMATION:
For a pack of 5 you will pay between £1.06 and £1.10 from all good supermarkets. As yet these aren't available as travel bars ie: they aren't available individualy. But for the price of five they are well worth it, especially as two of my local supermarkets have recently had them on offer! Two packet for £1.60 is a total bargain!
However brace yourself, at 165 calories and 9.4g of fat PER BAR you may be forced to limit yourself!

I honestly recommend these as a little pick me up if ever you are down! They are a great price and taste amazing, they are my little piece of heaven!

Summary: Are these too good to be eaten?! Should I just look?!
