We Review ……. Galaxy Enchanted Eggs ……..

With Easter fast approaching we’ll admit to being more than a little remiss in not reviewing some of the new festive comestibles we’ve been seeing in the shops of Evesham, despite most being on the shelves since just after Christmas.

However in the next couple of weeks we hope to rectify this situation by sampling some of the more unusual chocolatey goodness available and, to start us off today, we would like to present a pack of Galaxy Enchanted Eggs (£1 from Iceland, but probably not available in Mexico, Mr D, sorry).

To quote from the packaging “Galaxy chocolate with crunchy caramel rolled in rose gold” – just how romantically palpable and impossibly tantalising does that sound?

This was, we have to say, indeed  reflected in the eggs appearance, for just £1, out of the bag and served on an appropriate, seasonal platter, they could easily be mistaken for a much more exclusive product, in all their shiny, rosy gold loveliness.

We wouldn’t actually describe the coating as dusted, as it says in the bumf,  perhaps more “varnished”, but the chocolate was unmistakably Galaxy, smooth and rich, dotted with hints of small, very crunchy pieces of caramel, which were more subtle and discreet in their inclusion rather than in in your face chunks.

With 18 eggs per pack, we were afforded an equal 6 each in which to cogitate and mull over our scores for our world famous Richter Scale of Noms ……

…… we thought we would keep it simple……. so, as there were 18 eggs to the pack, we decided to award each of them 100%, making a grand total of 1,800%, with not a single dropped percent.

We are absolutely convinced that if decanted from their bag, Hugh, Darrell’s best friend and mentor of all things of a luxe type nature, and who shops almost exclusively at Harold’s and occassionally  F & M Florence & Fred would pronounce, that said Enchanted Eggs had undoubtedly been flown half way round the world by private jet, after being rolled exclusively on the thighs of Tahitian maidens!  Hmmmmmmmmmm.
