Galaxy Roast Hazelnut Promises

Just when I think I’m finished with the Galaxy range I seem to find a new one, and I found one today, and that’s the Roast Hazelnut bar, as part of the ‘Promises’ range from Galaxy.
What do they promise then? ‘Tempting triangles of smooth and textured Galaxy milk chocolate on a darker chocolate bed’. With milk chocolate (75%), dark chocolate (17%) and hazelnuts (4.4%) and praline.
Wait…4.4% hazelnuts? That’s not very much considering it’s called a hazelnut bar. It tastes like that as well, I can barely taste the hazelnuts at all! The bar is extremely pretty to look at with the mixtures of dark and milk chocolate, but unfortunately when it comes to taste, all I was really getting was the dark and milk chocolate, just not enough hazelnut there.
So that’s a bit of a shame, a ‘hazelnut’ bar that doesn’t taste of hazelnuts at all, they’re chopped extremely small unlike how they are in Cadbury’s chocolate, and that’s how the bars differ.
As for which is better, I’ll have to go for Cadbury’s in terms of that you can actually taste the hazelnuts in it. The 100g bar I had here had 541 calories, 6.5g Protein, 55.3g Carbohydrates and 32.6g Fat.

Maybe I got a bad one then, just my luck I guess. I’ll re-review it I think once I get a better camera because it’s worth showing those not in the know what this looks like. My camera couldn’t do it nearly enough justice as it’s one of the prettiest bars on the market.
