Galaxy Roasted & Caramelised Hazelnuts Bar

May 8th, 2008 by Terry

So I picked this bar up a little while ago in Asda and it’s been sitting in my mini-fridge for about 2 weeks now, and I haven’t really been that tempted to eat it. Maybe I’m getting bored of chocolate, I hope not.

Angst aside, this is a 120g (4.2oz) bar, which makes it pretty huge, though it doesn’t really look it. The Galaxy brand is a favourite of mine, I prefer it over Cadbury’s, and those two are pretty much direct competitors. Though this brand is so obviously marketed towards women, stuff like that really doesn’t bother me. So here we have a hazelnut and milk chocolate bar, as if I haven’t reviewed a hundred of these before.

So roasted AND caramelised hazelnuts, eh? Wow, how exciting! As you can see from the picture above, I tried to make my picture show everything that this bar has to offer. First off, on the back of the wrapper there’s a huge long note entitled “Falling into that beautiful thing called Love”, spare me please. I then broke the bar in half so you can see the topside, which is rather pretty, and the bottom side, which as you can see is chock full of nuts.

As for the taste, well like I said, I’ve been here a million times before. It’s a milk chocolate bar with hazelnuts in, and describing that almost seems patronising. The chocolate is a little overly sweet, it hurt my teeth after a few pieces, but it’s a pleasant enough bar. It’s just a bit boring, a bit plain, and the UK market is over saturated with these kind of bars, rant over.

    For those of you who want to know the note in its entirety, here it is:

    Falling into that beautiful thing called Love
    (Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.)

    ATTRACTION, flirtation, euphoria, doubt, the truth
    (I don’t know why I want you, but I really do.)

    …Here it is. That inexplicable, elemental tug. That surprising sudden feeling you’ve been waiting for. This is yesyesyes. This is where you find something or someone, and just fall for them. Illogically. Irresistibly. And find yourself thinking of nothing else.
    Because it’s attraction, and the dream of love to follow, that keeps the imagination alive. It’s attraction that makes life sparkle and pop and fizz…

    Galaxy. Never stop falling in love.

    that is somewhat ridiculous.

    Oh vomit. How are you supposed to stomach chocolate after that?

    I think it sounds good, but I agree, probably too big. A finger or two of it would probably be best.

    Alice - I just don’t see what it has to do with Galaxy really.

    Ellie - Exactly, it’s sickeningly cute.

    Cybele - Yeah, 120g (just over 4 ounces). Obviously not meant for one sitting but…I’ll be honest, I managed it in one sitting. Don’t judge me. :(
