Meiji – Galbo Halloween – Simple
Price: ± €10
Extra supplies: Bowl and Scissors.

Meiji makes all sorts of tasty treats and have created a candy kit with some of them with a Halloween twist to it. With this kit you can create some ghosts and bats, using Meiji’s Apollo, Galbo and Choco Baby treats. The packaging includes instructions, with a background picture on the other side, Meiji white chocolate, strawberry chocolate and milk chocolate, Apollo, Galbo and Choco Baby.

TIP: This candy kit is no longer available, but you can easily make these adorable edible creatures yourself by purchasing Meiji chocolate snacks: Choco Baby, Apollo and Galbo. Attach them to one another with some melted chocolate and you should end up with something quite similar to these.

Flavour: ♥♥♥
All of the kinds of chocolate were creamy and tasty, the pink one had a slight strawberry flavour to it.

Apollo and Choco Baby were not unfamiliar to me, as I reviewed them before. Choco Baby are creamy, slightly bitter, chocolate bites. Apollo combines strawberry white chocolate with milk chocolate, a great combination. Galbo has an outer layer of chocolate and a crumbly chocolate cookie inside, which has a texture similar to a sand cookie.

The combination of these chocolate snacks and the chocolate is really nice. If you are a chocolate lover, you should definitely try this!

Time needed: ⧗
A simple kit with few steps, which means it’ll take very little time. The chocolate also sets quite quickly.

Difficulty level: ★
This kit isn’t hard to make, the only think you should try to pay attention to is that you take your time to neatly spread on the chocolate for the eyes and mouths.

Similarity: 📷📷📷
As you can see on the pictures below, the final product looks pretty similar to the picture on the packaging. How similar just depends on how well you recreate the chocolate faces, if you’re rushing it, like I did, they won’t look as good. However they will still look very similar.

TIP: There are some other suggestions for how to decorate several kinds of Meiji treats for Halloween on the side of the packaging, see second photo below.

Want to enjoy this kit again?

As mentioned before, you can easily recreate these adorable snacks by melting some chocolate and attaching some specific Meiji chocolates to one another: Apollo, Choco Baby & Galbo.

 

 


This is not a sponsored review and because of this we won’t mention where this set was bought, search online using the name of this candy kit and you should be able to find it.
