Advantages: cheap, good for cooking

Disadvantages: poor quality, artificially sweet when eaten alone

Always looking to make home baking as cheap as possible, I often gravitate toward the value ranges of chocolate in the supermarket, and Morrisons value milk chocolate I have found to be one of the best.

Unlike plain chocolate, the quality of milk chocolate is not so crucial in baking, and having used this chocolate now for several years, as chunks in brownies, or as part of a ganache for cakes, I have never had any complaints from anyone.

Eating it alone however you will notice some difference, and find the quality to be lacking from other brands. The chocolate has a pleasant texture, very smooth, but doesn't melt in your mouth the way galaxy and cadburys do. It also lacks the richness of more expensive brands, and can taste rather artificially sweet. When combined with other ingredients, this doesn't come across, but eating a square on its own doesn't give anywhere to hide.

The chocolate is around 30p for 100g, which is good value, although more and more often 200g bars of cadburys or galaxy can be found for £1, which if you are going to eat any of the chocolate by itself, I would strongly recommend.

Summary: great if you are using it as an ingredient in something else, otherwise forget it.
