ASDA: Christmas In Store Round-UP!

I was walking round ASDA today doing the usual weekly shop and spontaneously decided to do a bit of a 'round up' of the new Christmas products ASDA have already started displaying on it's shelves!

Festive Flying Saucers:

'Festive Flying Sauces £3'

Firstly, ASDA have introduced for this year these tubs of your typical pick 'n' mix sweets for the very affordable price of £3! I think these are a fantastic idea for Christmas, as many children (and adults!) have intolerances to chocolate......so these tubs serve as a fantastic alternative to the classic tubs of Celebrations or Heroes! There is a wide variety of choice with these tubs ranging from jelly sweets to marshmallows and these flying saucers!

Munchies Roll:

'Munchies £3'

Next on the list is this HUGE roll of Munchies! Now i'm a huge fan of Munchies so I can see this being added to the shopping trolley in the near future for Christmas! These rolls contain 3x100mg bags of munchies.....which is more than enough to satisfy any chocolate/caramel cravings you have this Christmas! Currently £3.

Quality Street Large Tin:

'Quality Street 1.28kg tin £8'

Next we have the 'large'(or should I say previously normal!) sized tins from Quality Street! These tins weigh in at a hefty 1.28 kg and cost £8, which is considerably different from the 'tubs' that ASDA are selling for £5 which weigh in at 780 kg. I personally have to say every year I get so disappointed at how much smaller, and smaller our tins are becoming! These tins do solve that problem, however be prepared to pay practically double the price for them!

Toblerone Triangle:

'Toblerone Triangle £2'

Toblerone have also revamped their style for Christmas with this fab looking stocking filler that anyone would be pleased to find on Christmas morning! Set in a triangle shape, with a little 'Merry Christmas' note on the packaging, I myself will be paying the very reasonable £2 price for a couple of these as little 'add on' presents for friends and family!

Quality Street Large Strawberry Delight:

Now this Christmas product is one of the ones that i'm most excited about! It's no secret that I love the 'creme' sweets from the Quality Street tins.....so when Quality Street brought out the large versions of 'The Purple One', Fudge and Toffee ones I was eagerly awaiting,with my fingers crossed, for the day that they finally brought out the Strawberry Dream ones. This is something that will definitely be making at least one appearance in my household this Christmas! Currently priced at £5.


Frozen Christmas Chocolates:

'Chocolate Snowies £1'

'Milk & White Chocolate Pieces £1'

I couldn't resist adding these to the list! These are completely adorable and would surely brighten up any little girls Christmas day if she's a Frozen fan! These two are just a small variety of the 'Frozen' chocolate options that ASDA have in for Christmas, but for the price of £1 you can't really go wrong!

Quality Street/Guylian/Heroes etc... Pouches:

For those that have no desire for the tub version of these chocolates or would just rather a smaller amount, then these pouches are ideal for you! These bags do contain around 200 kg less than the normal size tubs, but they are cheaper at £4!

Extra Special Father Christmas:

I couldn't resist adding this beauty to the round up either! Made from extra special Chocolate with a higher than average cocoa content this giant Father Christmas would be the creme de la creme of the Christmas table! Currently £15.

ASDA Christmas Baking:

I LOVE baking at Christmas time....so when I passed the baking aisle and saw that ASDA had a new 'Christmas' range of products, I had to restrain myself from doing a little jig in store!!
First up we have the 'Cake-Pop Kit'. Priced at £2....I've never made any Cake Pops before, so I may have to give these a try closer to Christmas! They look like a fun activity for the family to partake in at Christmas time!

'Cake Decorations £1-2'

ASDA have also introduced a wide range of new cake decoration products for Christmas! These are right up my street! I love baking during Christmas time....when it's freezing cold outside, but the house is filled with the warmth and the homely smell of baking! ....And what makes things even better is the exceptional price of these products! All coming in at under £3! There are a variety of products that would look and taste perfect atop a cake or a lovely yule log! These include Shimmer Snowballs (£1) Milk & White Chocolate decorations (£2), Sugar Sparkle Dust (£2) and many more!

......And it's only October! I'm pretty sure there will be another follow up post closer to Christmas with an even wider range of Christmas products! If you happen to spot anything new and exciting for Christmas then feel free to let me know!

NEW! Morrisons' 'Chocolate Marshmallow Cup'

On my last trip to Morrisons I was looking for something chocolate-y and sweet to take home with me to devour, and luckily I came across a new range of 'really good puds' that Morrisons' have recently introduced.

Of course me being the chocoholic that I am, my eyes were immediately drawn to the 'Marshmallow Chocolate Cups'.....

'Morrisons' Marshmallow Chocolate Cups'

They look tasty don't they?.....

Well I certainly thought so!.....At the price of £1.99 for two portions I didn't think they were too bad! So I popped them in my trolley and off I went looking forward to devouring one that evening!
The box contains two 'marshmallow chocolate cups' and is described as;

 'Mini Coffee cups packed with creamy chocolate sauce on a chocolatey biscuit base, topped with gooey marshmallow froth and a dusting of cocoa'

To say that I was disappointed when I realised that the 'cups' were not actual edible would be a huge understatement!!.....I think there is definitely an issue with misadvertising here, as on appearance you are led to believe that the product is a 'marshmallow chocolate cup'. When in reality it's marshmallow and chocolate INSIDE a cup.

'183 Kcal per 61g cup'

However, after getting over the initial disappointment that I wouldn't be able to consume the actual cup....the dessert did actually taste really nice! The dessert appeared to be 'layered' inside the cup, with a biscuit base at the bottom, followed by a layer of chocolate sauce/mousse and then topped with marshmallow froth.

'£1.99 for 2 portions'

My favourite part of the dessert was definitely the marshmallow froth at the top! It was light, sweet and tasted divine! And it gave a nice added sweetness to the chocolate mousse layer following it!...The biscuit base at the bottom tasted alright, it's nothing to scream in joy about, but it tasted good and added a bit of depth and texture to the cup.

Overall, I really enjoyed this dessert! The addition of the little chocolate stick and dusting of cocoa at the top was a nice touch, and the marshmallow froth tasted amazing. However, I couldn't help but feel let down that the cup wasn't actually edible! That would have taken the dessert to a whole new level and made me want to buy it again and again! 

Would I buy this again? Maybe

Hotel Chocolat 'You Crack Me Up Extra Thick' Easter Egg

The wonderful people at Hotel Chocolat contacted me recently asking if I would like to review one of their Easter eggs....and of course I said yes! (I would have been a fool not to, since their chocolate is to die for!)

......So when the postman delivered me a beautifully presented, gift-wrapped parcel the other day I was incredibly excited!!

'Easter 'You Crack Me Up Extra Thick' Egg'

 The description of this Easter egg on their website certainly gets the mouth watering!

'When we first started making our eggs 13 years ago, we were 

advised by experts to make them as thin as possible and put the chocolates on the outside.

 We did the opposite!

Our irresistibly upbeat extra thick Easter egg is cast in milk chocolate 

and our award-winning high-cocoa white chocolate, and inside you'll discover 

12 smiley face pralines and happy chicks.'

....with a description like that how can you say no?!?!

'Thick Easter Egg accompanied by 12 smiley face Pralines and happy Chicks'

'Cast in Milk Chocolate and our award-winning high-cocoa White Chocolate'

Hotel Chocolat are fabulous chocolatiers that have a strong ingredients philosophy to use only wholesome, real ingredients and their mantra is 'More Cocoa, Less Sugar'. 

What makes these eggs even more enticing is that they are suitable for vegetarians, and are alcohol free!

Now onto the actual egg!

After spending about 20 minutes convincing myself that this egg needed to be opened in spite of the gorgeous parcelling, I finally mustered up the courage to rip into the beautiful packaging and stopped short in shock when I came across what seemed to be a mahoosive egg-shaped lump of chocolate...

'415g/ 14.6 oz'

....Now i've never had a Hotel Chocolat egg before, and I am admittedly a bit of a pessimist. So when I read the description of this egg and saw that it was supposedly 'extra thick'....I thought 'Yeah right....it might be a tiny bit thicker than the competition on the market but it won't be amazingly thick'

Guys.....it was AMAZINGLY thick!! I have to say I am delighted to let you guys know that I was wrong, and I am pleasantly surprised with the thickness of this egg!

Aesthetically, this egg is simply fantastic! The mix of their award winning white and milk chocolate creates an eye popping 'marble' effect and gives this egg that added 'oomph' that you desire in a nice high-end egg!

'Suitable for Vegetarians'

Taste wise...the egg is even more amazing than it looks! The chocolate is creamy and smooth and melts wonderfully in the mouth. I can honestly say I have no complaints whatsoever with this egg, appearance or taste wise!

'Extra Thick Egg!...Warning! May require excessive force to dig in! ;)'

Following the mad frenzy that ensued when my family pounced on this egg....all eyes (and stomachs) turned towards the 12 delightfully cute chocolates stuffed inside the egg. These were;

'More Cocoa, Less Sugar'

Chocolate Brownie x2 : Crispy chocolate buttercream encased in milk chocolate.

Crunchy Praline x2 : Crunchy biscuit pieces and praline encased in mocha chocolate.

Milk Praline Fried Egg x2: A milk chocolate, hazelnut, praline-filled half shell, topped with a white chocolate fried egg.

Milk Chocolate Chick x2:  A flightless, fabulous chick cast in mellow and creamy 40% milk chocolate.A

White Soldiers x2: Creamy white chocolate soldiers pre-dipped with a dollop of creamy chocolate yolk.

Smooth Caramel Bow Tie Bunny x2: A dapper Easter bunny cast in smooth and sensual caramel milk chocolate.

'12 Delicious chocolates found within each egg!'

Overall, all of these mini chocolates tasted delicious and fit in nicely with the egg. My personal favourites were the Chocolate Brownie (the smoothness of the chocolate buttercream was simply divine) and the White Soldiers (the white chocolate was the best white chocolate i've ever tasted).

In Conclusion, this egg is all you could ever want or need from an Easter egg. It does come at a marginally expensive price of £28....however believe me when I say this: These eggs are well worth the cost!!

As said previously, I have never brought a Hotel Chocolat egg, this is most likely due to the price which I assume is quite a big issue for many people. However, since trying this egg I am 100% certain that I will from now on buy Hotel Chocolat eggs. Compared to the typical Dairy Milk or Malteser Easter eggs that can be brought for £5 or £10....this egg is much more upmarket, and the taste certainly matches price! This was a 'eggcellent' egg, and an even more wonderful tasting experience! 

Quality over quantity was never more true!....Their mantra of 'More Cocoa, Less Sugar' is definitely apparent in these eggs!

To buy one of these fabulous eggs (which I definitely recommend to all my fellow chocoholics!)...You can find it (and other varieties) on Hotel Chocolat's website here.

....And for offers and competitions you can follow them on twitter here or like them on facebook here.


I received this product in order to produce an honest review, and all views/opinions expressed are completely my own.

Would I buy this again? YES!....100% 

ZICO Chocolate Flavoured Coconut Water

I know what you guys are thinking........

"Chocolate flavoured coconut water?? Bleurghhh that can't actually taste nice?!"

But fear not, my readers!! Hopefully this review will help change your mind and query your beliefs!

So last week I was just casually meandering around my local Home Bargains when I came across these bottles of ZICO chocolate coconut water for 49p! YES, that's right only 49p! I have to admit though, that my first thoughts were 'This looks a little odd' and 'Will this actually taste nice?'.....but for 49p I thought what the hell! And plonked it in my basket to review for you guys!

"ZICO Chocolate Flavoured Coconut Water"

ZICO promotes all their coconut waters as containing 5 electrolytes (Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium and Phosphorus)....and also incorporates as much Potassium as found in a banana....in the words of ZICO -"giving it that extra OOMPH!"

Described on their website as; "A delicious combination of 85% coconut water from concentrate, an irresistible natural chocolate flavour and other delicious ingredients. ZICO chocolate is a great source of sweet, sweet hydration. Plus it has half the calories and sugar of the leading chocolate milk!" 

And if that still doesn't tempt you to buy this...then how about the fact that this bottle only contains 80 calories?....and is gluten-free, lactose-free and dairy-free!

"80 Kcal per bottle (400ml)"

So ZICO recommends that this delicious drink should be consumed chilled....as such this little beauty has been sat in my fridge waiting all week for me to finally get round to trying it! After giving it the recommended shake, I twisted the cap and looked down into what appears like a muddy chocolatey water based drink....which even I'll admit doesn't seem too appetising! However, never judge a book by it's cover.....

"Naturally a rich source in Potassium which helps maintain normal muscle function"

Taste wise, the best way I can describe this drink is saying that it tastes like watered down chocolate milk......this is definitely a good thing though!! It actually tastes really, really nice!

Now those people out there expecting it to taste like chocolate milk will be sadly disappointed! This drink tastes much thinner, which is most likely due to the lack of creaminess that the milk supplies! However, the dash of coconut milk in this drink does give it that added silky smoothness which really ensures this drink tastes good!

There are also some fantastic recipes that can be found for this chocolate flavoured coconut water (and their other flavours) on their Facebook recipe page found here.

One of the best recipes I have found that I look forward to trying is called 'ZICO in the middle':

• 1 cup of ZICO Chocolate flavoured coconut water
• 1/2 cup of Ice
• 1/2 Banana
• 1 Tpsb. of Almond Butter (or Peanut Butter)
• 1 square of Dark Chocolate (or for the 'real deal', try a pinch of Cacao nibs or a few Cacao beans)

Blend together all the Ingredients and enjoy!

"Drink Well. Think Well. Renew Yourself."

In conclusion, I am extremely pleased that I decided to take the plunge and buy this product!....I'm that pleased with this drink that I went back to Home Bargains and stocked up on some more yesterday! This is extremely good as a post-workout drink to refuel, and I think it would be a great 'pick-me-up' to re-energise when I'm ill and even a nice treat whenever I get that sweet craving for something chocolatey but don't want to feel guilty!

I definitely recommend this product to everyone! Whether it's used for sports and fitness purposes or diet purposes, it definitely seems like an all round drink that can suit many peoples needs! After some research, I have found that ZICO have many flavours of coconut water including; Pineapple, Passionfruit and Strawberry and Banana....Unfortunately, unless purchased on Amazon or other websites these drinks only seem available across the pond from us! 

However, when I went back to Home Bargains yesterday to stock up on these Chocolate flavoured waters they did happen to have the Mango flavour in stock! So I brought one of them too!....So don't be surprised to see a review of that shortly....and hopefully more varieties will pop up in some of our retailers soon!

Would I buy these again? YES!

Milka Choco Minis

Walking through the biscuit aisle of Asda the other day, my eyes were drawn to these new unusual looking Milka biscuits on the shelf!
Normally, Milka branded products are displayed in the chocolate aisle, but due to these being biscuit based they were placed in the biscuit aisle.....and for £2 I certainly wasn't going home without trying these beauties!

'Biscuits filled with milk cream and a layer of Alpine Milk Chocolate'

This pack of Milka chocolate biscuits contains 5 individual mini packs perfect for school lunch boxes, or a cheeky treat at work! (you can only see 4 packs in the picture below since I have already scoffed the fifth pack!).

Described simply as; 'Biscuits filled with milk cream and a layer of Alpine Milk chocolate'. These treat size biscuits certainly look delicious!
And I must say, I don't believe they're terribly unhealthy either! Each small pack contains 6 mini biscuits, and each biscuit contains 32 calories. That's only 192 calories per pack....not too bad if I do say so myself!....It certainly helps make me feel less guilty having a pack of these!
 Furthermore, I think splitting these mini biscuits up into six individual packs, definitely helps control how many biscuits you eat!

32Kcal per mini choco biscuit

I have to say I love the design and shape of these biscuits! I think the star design looks amazing, and  I bet children would love having a little pack of these as a treat or in they're lunch boxes at school....to be honest even as an adult I'm still drawn to these adorable biscuits!
Taste wise, the shortbread biscuit tastes perfect! Nice and crumbly and the perfect base for the layer of Alpine chocolate...I have to admit I was greatly disappointed at the supposed 'milk cream' that was meant to be the filling in between the biscuit and Alpine chocolate layer. In actual fact, there was only a tiny line of white cream on every biscuit in my pack, so it wasn't just a one off.....

Overall, I am a huge fan of these Milka choco minis! I love Milka chocolate and the combination of the chocolate with a biscuit is delicious! I would however recommend that Milka actually add in some more of the 'milk cream' so that we can actually get a proper taste of it! Nevertheless, this is a lovely product and definitely does the job as a perfect snack!

Would I buy this product again? Yes

'Almondy' Authentic Swedish Tarta with Toblerone

On my most recent trip to Asda I decided to treat myself to something special for the evening and walked all throughout the store looking for something delicious to catch my attention.....by the end of my shop I decided it just wasn't happening so made my way down the very last frozen aisle and then right at the end freezer this Almondy Toblerone Tarta practically started singing for me to put it in my trolley! So of course I did....and i didn't feel guilty one bit!...okay maybe a smidge! But it looks absolutely divine;

The Swedish confectioners 'Almondy' have brought this dessert over all the way from Germany, and have brought other frozen desserts including Almondy Daim, Almondy Meringue and Almondy Caramel & Peanut. The only other Almondy product I could see in the frozen section of Asda was the Almondy Daim....which I may have to splurge on during my next Asda trip!

440 calories per 100g

How gorgeous and delectable does that look?

Described on the pack as;

 "Almondy almond tarta with pieces of Toblerone combines an irresistible almond base with rich chocolate cream and smooth milk chocolate mousse. Topped with a generous sprinkle of Toblerone pieces, all deliciously smothered with milk chocolate."

There are also some defrosting directions on the back of the packet and I was pleasantly surprised at quickness of the times! To defrost one slice, it should be left out for twenty minutes and for the whole tarta it should be left out for a measly forty five minutes....that's not too long a wait is it?...unless you're a chocoholic and starving!

...Now onto the guilty part! There is 440 calories per 100g.....and this tarta is 400g, so this is definitely not a healthy treat! 

'Gluten free!'

After some of the longest forty five minutes of my life, finally the tarta was defrosted!

I decided to just have a slice on it's own, without any cream or ice cream to accompany it which I usually would have with some cake, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that this dessert wasn't dry! Especially since this was one of my main concerns considering it's frozen.

On the first mouthful, there is the wonderful chocolate taste of the cream, which helps stop this dessert from being dry and gives it a smooth and fluffy taste. The biscuit base at the bottom was alright...nothing special! But with all the added chocolate cream and crunchy Toblerone pieces this dessert becomes deliciously awesome! 

Overall, this dessert tasted really good and for £2.99 I would definitely buy it again to share with the family....or even test out the Almondy Daim flavour....watch (or should I say read) this space!

For more information, or some fantastic recipe ideas you can visit Almondy's newly revamped website here.

Would I buy this again? YES

New! Quality Street 'Mini Matchmakers' Zingy Orange

Well, technically these chocolate treats aren't 'new' to the market they are simply 'miniature' versions of the well loved Nestle Matchmaker brand....so when I saw this treat bag of mini Matchmakers in my local Asda at the introductory price of £1 I thought it only fair to try them!

'86 Kcal each 12 stick serving'

To be honest I'm quite glad Nestle have decided to bring out this 'share' bag of miniature Matchmakers as I much prefer the mini 'sticks' to the large ones in the original packs.
 The 'mini' Matchmakers seem to be approximately 1/4 of the size of the regular Matchmakers and contain 86 calories every 12 stick serving.
Described as 'Orange flavoured chocolates with skimmed milk chocolate, dark chocolate and boiled sugar pieces' .....they are incredibly tasty!

These mini Matchmakers are incredibly moreish....especially considering their small size! The chocolate sticks are covered in milk and dark chocolate which is incredibly smooth and then infused with orange sugar pieces that give each little stick a nice crunch and certainly live up to their 'zingy orange' name!
 Overall, I love that Nestle have brought out these miniature versions of their 'Matchmakers' and that even though they are mini in size they still contain the same zingy orange flavour that we expect from the regular sized version!

Would I buy this again? YES

'Merryteaser' Reindeer

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......

......And I can't believe all the stores are starting to stock up with Christmas items when we haven't even hit Halloween yet! The shelves in all major supermarkets are being filled with tins of Quality Streets and Celebrations and we're being introduced to a whole new range of Christmas products such as; 'Popping Candy' Freddo's, Dairy Milk's 'Mousse Snowman', Galaxy's white chocolate version of the 'a gift you to you' range and now Malteser's 'Merryteaser Reindeer'...

29g per Reindeer....contains 156Kcal

This new Christmas creation from Maltesers called the 'Merryteaser' comes in the shape of a cute little reindeer and is described as a 'Milk chocolate reindeer with a crunchy & creamy Maltesers centre'.
Weighing in at 29g this adorable chocolate creation contains only 156 calories, and is the perfect treat to get you in that Christmass-y mood! Especially since they are only 70p each or 2 for £1 in the Co-Op!

First appearances......WHERE ARE MY POOR REINDEER'S EYES?? Truthfully, the shape and presentation of my reindeer is slightly poor! I mean other than the antlers and huge nose (and the fact that this is coming out at Christmas) I probably wouldn't be able to guess straight away this is a reindeer!

Apart from the slightly dodgy appearance....It tasted amazing! As you can see in the picture above the crunchy & creamy Malteser centre is covered in a nice thick layer of milk chocolate that melts straight away in the mouth and is as nice and smooth as you would hope it to be!
The Malteser centre isn't really 'crunchy' as it's described on the label....but is most definitely creamy! The centre tastes exactly like a regular Malteser but without the hard crunch, and instead tastes like smooth and creamy honeycomb....perfect!

Overall, I think this little 'Merryteaser Reindeer' is adorable and perfect for Christmas as either a stocking filler or a cheeky treat here and there! The presentation of the Reindeer is lacking a bit, but the taste more than certainly makes up for that! So I would definitely recommend everyone buying at least one to taste!

Would I buy this again? YES!

Nestle Quality Street "My Purple Potz"

Today I'm reviewing a fantastic ice cream product I came across in ASDA yesterday, these seem to be new from Nestle and do come in a variety of flavours, but today I'll be reviewing the Quality Street 'My Purple Potz' version!

One of the main 'pulls' that attracted me and made me buy this product from ASDA was that these 'potz' are usually priced at £1.30 but are now on special offer at just 50p a tub!
As said above, these tubs from Nestle come in a variety of flavours including; Smarties, Munchies, Rolo, Areo and the above 'Quality Street' tub.....and i'm going to repeat myself by saying again that these ARE ALL 50P!! So get them whilst you can!

This Quality Street 'My Purple Potz' flavour is described as 'Chocolate flavoured ice cream with caramel sauce and chopped and chunky hazelnut pieces' This tub seems to be an ice cream version of 'The Purple One' sweet in the Quality Street Tins, theoretically the idea works and sounds good!....but how does it taste?....

This 160ml pot contains 188 Kcal 

....one word AMAZING.

These little tubs I find to be perfect! I hate opening big tubs of Ice cream and scooping some out then putting it away as I feel the ice creams texture begins to turn funny. Therefore, these little tubs are ideal for me!

First spoonful, I got the creamy taste of the chocolate ice cream (which would have been a fab tasting ice cream on it's own!) and then the crunchy addition of the Hazelnut chunks, followed by the smooth after taste of the caramel sauce....which you can see wisps of throughout the ice cream in the picture above. The other thing I like about these tubs is that they don't skimp on the Hazelnut toppings and caramel sauce which you do seem to find in some ice creams lately!

This pot had the perfect amount of ice cream to fill me up, not too much ice cream that it makes you feel sick....and not too little ice cream that it makes you want more. These tubs would be a great addition in anyone's freezer; for the little children whom you may want to control how much ice cream they eat (and saves you time scooping it out into bowels!) or for my fellow readers who want a sweet treat every now and again!

Overall, I think these 'Potz' are a great concept from Nestle and taste absolutely amazing! I look forward to trying the other flavours, and would definitely recommend these 'Potz' to anyone who likes Quality Streets....or just enjoys simple, good tasting ice cream!

Would I buy this again? 100% YES!

Galaxy Flutes

To start this post I'd like to apologise for the lack of reviews lately...that was due to me going on holiday to Egypt for 2 weeks which I've just returned from!
 However, I did find an amazing product in a little supermarket in Egypt that I thought would be amazing to review...(and taste!).

TA DA...........

Feast your eyes on these gorgeous beauties! (excuse the slightly battered packaging as I had to squeeze them into my case!)
After a little research (due to the fact I can't read the Arabic on the packaging) here's what Galaxy have to say about their flutes;

"Galaxy Flutes perfectly encapsulate the indulgence and pleasure which have become synonymous with the Galaxy brand and are a perfect treat for a luxurious snack for discerning chocolate lovers.

Consumers will love the benefit of a combination of textures with the mix of wafer and cream providing an ideal afternoon snacking moment."

Each 11.25g finger contains 56 Kcal

From research, I've found in the UK Galaxy flutes are brought in individual packs as shown in the picture above for 50p each, whereas in Egypt I was able to purchase a nicely shaped box which contained 5 packets for the price of about 10 egyptian pounds which equals to about £1.

The individual packets of Galaxy flutes contain two crispy wafer rolls, filled with a creamy Galaxy milk chocolate centre and covered in more Galaxy milk chocolate.

First impressions of these 'Galaxy flutes' was that they seemed almost identical to the 'Milky Way Crispy Rolls' that have been out for a little while now...

And taste wise, those first impressions did match. These Galaxy flutes tasted almost identical to the Milky Way Crispy Rolls, the only difference was the fact the Galaxy flutes had the Galaxy milk chocolate flavoured filling and coating which had a smoother and creamier taste than the Milky Way version

Overall, these 'flutes' did taste very good, the slight crunchiness of the wafer contrasting with the smooth creamy filling of the Galaxy chocolate made for an excellent tasting combination. I would also recommend refrigerating these Galaxy flutes and eating them straight from the fridge as I found the taste much more potent that way.
Furthermore,although labelled as the 'ideal afternoon snacking moment' these wafer rolls were extremely moreish and left me wanting way more than the indivual packets provided! A good or bad thing? You decide, but I would definitely recommend these Galaxy Flutes to everyone!

Would I buy them again? YES
