Review: Galaxy Caramel (Mars)


This bar from Mars is for some reason not commonly available in Denmark, though I was able to pick it up at a small convenient store, where it caught my attention. It is described as a “Milk Chocolate with a soft caramel filling (40%). It is ranked second (with a bunch of other offerings) over at Jim’s Chocolate mission (link below).

The wrapper clearly communicates the caramel part of the proposition. However, it seems a little dull and for one I missed a more graphic presentation of the proposition. The content is divided into two bars, each with three pieces. The colour has a standard not too exciting light brown colour. Appearance: 7 out of 10.

The aroma is not very strong though there are scents of caramel andmilk chocolate. It is in my view simply too uninteresting and lacking in character. Aroma: 6 out of 10.

This is a very soft bar with a sticky caramel and only a hint of a snap in the chocolate. I find the texture too one dimensional in its softness and I think it could be vastly improved with a superior snap. Texture: 6 out of 10.

This is a very neutral – and perhaps also a little bland - tasting bar. Initially it is not too sweet (though it eventually becomes sweeter) and it takes a little while for the flavour to kick in. The little flavour there is, is mostly caramel and not very exciting at that, in my opinion. It simply lacks character and distinctiveness. Flavour: 6, 5 out of 10.

Average: 6, 375 out of 10.
