It’s the news chocolate fans have been waiting for: you can now buy orange chocolate-flavoured Galaxy bars.

The notoriously creamy and indulgent chocolate bar is now available in orange flavour nationwide, having been launched just in time for Easter.

Galaxy Smooth Orange, as it’s called, comes in white packaging and can be bought for either 66p per individual bar, or £1.39 for a large bar.

Commenting on the new release, Ellyse O’Connor, Galaxy Senior Brand manager, said: “Galaxy Smooth Orange is kind of a big peel and I encourage Brits to squeeze the day, give their peel of approval, and treat themselves to a Galaxy Smooth Orange chocolate bar next time they’re in the shops!

“Disclaimer: Thankfully, Galaxy Smooth Orange is infinitely more palatable than these terrible puns!”

The chocolate bar has been reviewed by the popular snack review Instagram account: @kevssnackreviews.

It has not been well- received, with the reviewer concluding that the chocolate bare is “overall, meh”.

In a caption below a photograph of the Galaxy Smooth Orange, they write: “I don’t know why Galaxy didn’t launch this at Christmas as it would have made more sense...but here we are in 2021 with yet another chocolate orange product.

“This is typical Galaxy, sweet and milky with a hint of orange flavour, but it’s nowhere near as distinctive as Terrys chocolate orange or even as good as the Cadbury’s orange buttons. It’s just ok. And that’s not good enough for a Galaxy product.”
