I love Galaxy chocolate it is my favourite, so when I saw Galaxy instant chocolate drink I did not hesitate to buy it, I love a drink of hot chocolate sometimes, especially at bed time. When I showed it to my husband who is also a chocoholic and a big Galaxy fan he was as excited as me to try it.
As I was waiting for the kettle to boil I was looking at the container, it is a tall plastic jar with the familiar brown and cream and peach labelling as on the chocolate, I have always thought this made the product look cheap and more so on the jar, but that did not put me off as I know the luxury of the product inside.
I had already put the required 4 heaped teaspoons of chocolate powder into each of our mugs, it smelled a bit chocolaty but could not say it reminded me of Galaxy, I poured on a bit of water and blended then topped the mugs up with boiling water stirring to ensure it was well blended and added a dash of milk as I always find a bit of milk makes instant hot chocolate more creamy.
We both sat down waiting for it to cool slightly, both anticipating the delicious delight we would soon savour.
One sip and instant disappointment, it tasted so watery and the only thing it reminded me of was the horrible hot chocolate you get from a machine, in fact I would say I have had better hot chocolate from the machines. Finding it hard to believe that this was made by Galaxy, I decided to add another spoonful feeling sure it would make it taste better but sadly again I was disappointed. It is made with real Galaxy chocolate but I found no evidence of this in the taste. Galaxy instant hot chocolate drink costs £1.99 for a 400g jar but I don’t think you will get very many cups from it as so much is needed just to get one wishy washy mug full. I think my jar will last for a long time though, because neither of us is in a rush to have it again.
