Galaxy Gift For You White Chocolate with a Bubbly Centre Review

-

It was with a twinge of sadness that I witnessed the Christmas displays being erected in Tesco and Morrisons this week. It just feels so...wrong, like they're spoiling the spirit of Christmas. I know it's all about getting those sales in while they can, but does anyone really want to buy a tin of Quality Street in September?

Anyway, it still didn't stop me perusing all the new Christmas chocolates with great interest. Amongst the usual stuff I found this new white chocolate version of Galaxy Gift For You. It's different from the regular Galaxy "Gift For You Truffle", and instead of truffle contains a bubbly white chocolate centre.


Opening the wrapper revealed a parcel-shaped piece of white chocolate, which I thought looked really nice. It contains 4 portions which can be broken off, so you can nibble on it throughout the day or save some for later...but I doubt anyone is going to do that! I cut a corner off to get a proper look at the bubbly centre:


The chocolate smelled very creamy, moreso than a lot of white chocolates I've tried. Biting into a piece, I was met with a very full-on cream led flavour, and the chocolate melted in my mouth very easily thanks to the bubbles. It tasted super smooth, which is quite fitting for a Galaxy branded chocolate.


I wouldn't want to eat more than one of these at once since they're quite sweet, but as a small christmas snack they're very tasty. I imagine most people will buy them on the inevitable 2 for £1 offers alongside the original version anyway.

Overall, I think these are a nice addition to the Gift For You range and compliment the original Gift For You Truffle perfectly. As far as I'm aware this is the first time Galaxy have brought out a white chocolate product in the UK, so perhaps if it's successful we might see a white chocolate Galaxy bar in the future...?

Price: 65p at Tesco.

    Yum the bubbly centre looks so good! I know it will be very sweet but I think this will be popular in my house :)

    I went off Galaxy choc when they changed the piece shape as for some reason, it just didn't taste the same (probably mind over matter) but it doesn't quite have the same creamy taste it used to :( Saying that though, I'm quite partial to a bit of white chocolate so might have to send my man up to get me one of these (for review purposes of course)...

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
