Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

Anyone, who knows me or has perhaps read a few of my reviews, will hopefully know by now that I tend to speak my mind. Perhaps I would earn more if I sung the praises of every product I have ever tried. Unfortunately I can’t and this is yet another occasions when I cannot withhold my disappointment. Galaxy is my favourite chocolate, only Cadbury’s Dairymilk comes close to its fantastic taste and texture. But this time Cadbury’s wins over their rivals’ ...
...you why! I was actually looking for Cadbury’s velvet drinking chocolate in my local Tescos when I stumbled across Galaxy Instant. As I mentioned earlier, Galaxy being my favourite chocolate, I actually overlooked all the recommendations from my fellow Ciaoers to go for Velvet and purchased this product instead. The 400 gram pot cost approximately £1.50 and came in a large plastic jar with the Galaxy trademark brown swirls on the cover. All very ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

...chocolate is made by the Mars Company, and along with this particular flavour, Maltesers Instant and Flyte hot chocolate drinks are also available. My sample came with a voucher for 30p off a 325g jar of Galaxy Instant, presumably available in all good supermarkets near you. The accompanying picture also shows sachets of all three varieties, so these would be your best bet to try the drinks. In strangely small writing on the sachet are the words ...
...Galaxy is one of my favourites, so I was looking forward to tasting this. Before I get on to the actually experience, you might like to know that a ‘serving’ (made with 220ml of water) contains 115kcal and 3.4g of fat: not one for the dieters, then! But one mug wasn’t going to hurt me… *THE ‘EXPERIENCE’* (Ooh! Sounds like a theme park ride, doesn’t it?! :o) ) I’m not the world’s biggest hot ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

To be honest, I’m not sure why I bought this. I’ve never liked Hot Chocolate in any shape or form, ever since I was young. Today though, I decided that I wanted some! So wandering down the aisles at dinnertime in Safeway, I picked up a duo packet of Galaxy Instant Hot Chocolate drink. The powder comes in a packet that looks identical to the wrapper from a Galaxy chocolate bar. It is the same concoction of browns. There is a picture of ...
...tempt you. The real that that drew me to this type of hot chocolate specifically was the fact it said it was made from real Galaxy chocolate – and I just love Galaxy with a passion! On the back of the packet there is the nutritional values and ingredients listed. The drink contains: 2.0g of Protein 19.2g of Carbohydrates 3.4g of Fat These are the values for a cup full of the drink, made with 220ml of water. The powder itself is a light ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

...a little better from the Mars company, and even though it *is* only 99p, I'm afraid i won't be trying it again, until they come up with a new, creamier, less sugary texture and flavour. Here comes the science bit....concentrate... Ingredients (quite a frightening little lot here) =========== Sugar, Whey Powder, Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Galaxy Chocolate (7.5%), Hydrogenated Vegetable Fat, Flavourings, Lactose, Stabilisers (Guar Gum, Hypromellose, ...
...Proteins, Potassium and Calcium Orthophosphates, Salt, Emulsifiers (Mono- and Di- Glycerides of Fatty Acids) Nutritional Information ======================= Per Serving (made with 220ml of water) Energy.........469Kj/111Kcal Protein........2.1g Carbohydrate...20g Fat............2.8g So, if you're a fan of watery chocolate drinks, then this is the one for you, but if you aren't (and I suspect not) then you could spend your money better on ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

Those of you in Brum this weekend will know it's cold. Very cold. So what does a girl do when she's so cold her nipples are poking holes in even the thickest jumper? Come on now, it's not one of those sorts of op! The answer is she reaches for the hot chocolate. I had a couple of freebie sachets of Galaxy hot chocolate in the post this morning and decided to test one out tonight for two reasons - to warm me up and so I can write this op. I love hot ...
...slightly under a tonne in weight of sugar, Options low fat hot chocolate for when I'm dieting, McDonalds hot chocolate... So let' see how this small brown sachet is going to measure up. Making the drink up is simplicity itself. Simply boil the kettle, add a mugs worth of boiling water to the hot chocolate powder and mix thoroughly. It's instant you see. No waiting for the milk to boil (and having to put up with the yukky smell) or having to sieve ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

Many of you who have read some of my opinions will know that I have mentioned several times that I don’t like hot chocolate. I have a theory that no hot chocolate drinks taste of actual chocolate and they taste so artificial it isn’t even funny. So what happened to me last night surprised me to say the least. Stephen and me were walking through Tesco when suddenly I had a craving for hot chocolate. I am going to be going back to work ...
...get me off to sleep and to wake me up I’d need something soothing. But what made me think of hot chocolate when I clearly dislike it so much? I’ve even tried Cadbury’s drinking chocolate…the maker of my favourite chocolate bars, but to me it tasted nothing like chocolate. Then last night I saw this…Mars galaxy instant hot chocolate drink. It just jumped out at me shouting “Choose me, you know you want me”. ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

Some of you might have seen the rubbish marks that some people have given this product, but to be honest I have absolutely no idea why! They read the reviews of cadbury's drinking chocolate and they go ahead and buy it without a second thought. The one time I bought cadburys it was sent to the back of the shelf after one cupful. It's powdery taste and unpleasant smell put me off it for life. After this I returned to the drinking chocolate that I ...
..."dissolvability" ,if there is such a word, combine to create heaven in a cup. It tastes increadibly chocolatey and leaves no trace of powder in the mouth. I personally make it with milk, which adds a certain creaminess, although water is still very nice. I dont really want to bore you by writing out the ingredients, so I will try to concentrate on the flavour. It is sweet, but not in a sickly way so adults enjoy it along with children in possession ...

Review of Mars Galaxy Instant Smooth Dark Hot Chocolate Drink

It has to be said, I’m a hot chocolate slut, I’ve had so many hot chocolates I can't remember the names of all em, does that make me dirty? Well frankly I don't care, because it gives me the wisdom to pass judgement on such things as the Galaxy version, which is actually my favourite of all the chocolates I have tried. I may be the only one that doesn’t hate the runny brown stuff (that's a dysphemism and a half!), but I honestly have to say that ...
...galaxy chocolate, ok it's no like drinking liquid galaxy, but I don't think any chocolate drink is like that, it's chocolate flavoured, not chocolate. If you want to drink liquid chocolate, then, well, erm, drink liquid chocolate! Just melt some chocolate in a mug! Simple! Anyway...I love the galaxy taste and feel that I get this with this drink. It's a fairly sweet drink, but that’s how I like it, so if you do too, then this'll be your cup of tea. ...
