Soon they're going to run out of chocolatey treats to turn orange; we've had buttons and ice creams, Easter eggs and even Custard! But we are not complaining.

In further excellent news for chocolate orange fans, Galaxy has finally been transformed into a zesty, citrusy, chocolate orange delight and it's about time.

What to read next

After over 60 years of making mouthwatering chocolate, the brand has introduced Galaxy Smooth Orange, promising the smooth and creamy chocolate we know and love with an intense orange flavour. For the first time!

Available in stores now, large bars have an RRP of £1.39 while single bars are priced at £0.66.

We first spotted the bars on food blogger @KevsSnackReviews Instagram page, with Kev saying the orange flavour was milder than other products.

Telling fans: "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."

Mild or intense? There's only one way to get to the bottom of that debate... and that's to try it! For research purposes... obviously.

Ellyse O’Connor, Galaxy Senior Brand manager, said in the press release: "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!"

Galaxy Smooth Orange will be widely available nationwide from this week and is being launched in two pack formats: large block (RRP: £1.39) and single bar (RRP: £0.66).
