Another quick review tonight since these Galaxy Ripple bars by Mars were made using the same ‘smooth and creamy milk chocolate’ found in the Smooth Milk.

Made for the UK and Ireland, this product was essentially the Galaxy version of the Cadbury Flake, but with a smooth and glossy chocolate coating covering the ‘rippled centre’ – it looked like a long, slightly wrinkly log and was less messy to eat!

Whilst the overall branding was the same, I loved how the name’s font reflected the ribbon-like appearance of the chocolate centre that had been ‘folded into silky layers’.

The chocolate’s scent and flavour was the same as the Smooth Milk but I did find that its less dense middle section made it feel a little juicier. It still had a thick melt but this rippled part was definitely lighter and collapsed nicely under pressure. It had a nice crumbly snap to it as well but it still succeeded in filling the mouth with Galaxy’s delicious chocolate flavour.

I'd say that the composition of this bar made its melt a bit less luxurious but, on the whole, it was the same great product.
