I am a great fan of Galaxy and instant hot chocolate so when I first layed eyes on the companies new treat, I bought a packet of 6 28g sachets expecting a more luxurios drink than the Cadbury's one I was drinking at the time.
Looking at the box, you are reminded of the smooth, creamy chocolate with almost identical packaging so I considered it definately worth a try. Inside are six little sachets decorated with the Galaxy logo. In the interests of this review and the 'instant' nature of the drink, I decided to time the making with my phone. Expectations are running high at this point as I pour the powder into a mug. The kettle is boiling. When pouring on the boiling water at first, the powder does not mix well and forms lumps. This is okay, however, because a short stir with the teaspoon remedies this problem. Timer stopped at 2 mins 31 seconds. I decide not to add the usual milk and sugar as that would be unfair.
The verdict; The drink smelt as any other cup of hot chocolate would, maybe lacking a bit of creamyness. Despite this, I was still optimistic. I was thouroghly dissapointed by the initial taste as I found it quite watery and there is a slight flavour of dry cocoa. It really didn't live up to it's name.
I decided to add a little cream and sugar to a to the taste a little. This made a noticeable difference but it was still not quite as chocolatey as I had expected. Maybe making the drink with milk and putting it in the microwave would have made it taste more like galaxy should.
Overall I was disappointed. I do, however, reccomend Cadbury's 'Highlights' hot chocolate drink as it is alot more tasty and cheap. I now have a big pot of this instead.
