REVIEW: ASDA 'Chosen By You' Giant White Chocolate Buttons

In this post, I shall be reviewing ASDA's own brand of imitation Milky bar buttons. I shall cover cost, taste, texture and packaging.


1. Overview

Front: Black bar on top, stating brand and range, along with a small logo, which appears to be several flying saucers.
Underneath, a few graphical indications of the individual pieces of chocolate surrounding the central name, along with a "New!" in the top left.
Below that, there is a clear film showing the actual contents. The contents colour isn't that far off the graphics.

Back:  Nutrition & storage information, along with a tidbit of information about the 'Chosen By You' range.






2. Contents
In the bag, there are, at an estimate, between 50 to 75 buttons. They are around 4cm in diameter, 2-3mm thick and are mostly uniform in shape. On their undersides, there is no brand pattern, just marks from what I assume are the conveyor belts at the factory.

3. Taste
Upon sticking one inside my mouth, I was shocked at how they tasted like the Milky Bar buttons. The flavours were 95% if not 99% bang on to the brand, and the texture was almost as creamy, but one thing that did stand out was the slight after taste. I wouldn't call it savoury - It's a hard taste to define - it's what they call a "rich flavour". Other than that, it works fine.

4. Cost
At the time of eating, these cost £1 and could be found in the confectionary aisle. They also do a smaller size (around the same size as a Milky bar packet) for 38p.

Conclusion:
For the money, these are definately worth a try. Considering they nearly match the brand flavour and you get quite a bit for the dosh, I would consider this a replacement for the brand should I get the craving. They also do a milk chocolate version which I am yet to try, but I wouldn't be surprised if they tasted like the Cadbury's Dairy Milk buttons.
