These taste as if they were a super high-end version of Smarties (I mean the Canadian/British ones not the American ones). They're a little bigger than Smarties and the chocolate, oh dear god, the chocolate is so good. With anything that has the word "Galaxy" on it, you are assured to have good chocolate or my name isn't "Candy Critic". I can't stop eating these things, it’s a good thing I didn’t get the family sized bag of these.
A strange thing I notice when I start into these Galaxy Minstrels is the possibility of a mint flavour, but I'm not too sure. I tasted it at first, but the more Minstrels I eat the less I taste the mint. It might be a little bit of the chocolate flavour just giving me a strange reaction or something as well. Not that it really matters, since I don't mind the mint and chocolate combo, but I just can't put my finger on why I might get this hint of mint at the beginning.
I guess I have to say that these are a great. The chocolate is really the big selling point, though. High quality chocolate is not a bad thing by any measure. I always give high credit to those who can make simple milk chocolate work so well. I feel they deserve more kudos than candy companies who just fill you up with a whole lot of excess and don’t focus on the quality of their chocolate.
