Advantages: good chocolate, great taste, cheap

Disadvantages: not healthy :-)

I'm a big fan of the Tesco Value product line and I thought I give the rival brand a go and bought the Sainsbury's Basic Milk Chocolate. I was quite disappointed by the Basics lemonade but this here is a Sainsbury's product I can easily recommend!
Sainsbury's Basics offers the 100g milk chocolate bar for only 27 pence - an unbeatable price. I definitely found it's way im my usual shopping!

Packing:

The chocolate bar comes in the well known orange and white wrap in paper with silver foil on the inside. I quite like the design of the Sainsbury's Basic range; with the orange script and drawing it's much nicer than the Tesco Value design.
All the important nutrition information, allergy advice and ingredients are given on the back.

Look & Taste
When I opened the packing I was a bit surprised by how dark the chocolate was, not like the other milk chocolate I bought before. Already a bit disappointed I assumed it would taste more like dark chocolate than the milky variation. But far from that, it had a lovely taste and was definitely not too 'heavy'.
On the other hand it didn't really melt well - which is not a big disadvantage and doesn't really colour my experience.

Price & Value
For 27 pence a bar you cannot really ask for much but this chocolate surprised me - a lovely, creamy taste, melts easily and is incredibly cheap! What more can you ask for?

I'll give it a 10 out of 10, cheap, lovely taste and good quality!

Summary: a bargain for 27p per bar
