Stockwell is Tesco's really cheap and basic brand line to compete with Lidl and Aldi. The quality of Stockwell branded goods tends to be very low, and that is the case here. The recommendation is five spoons (compared with two spoons for the Galaxy Light), and even with five spoons it tastes thin and watery with little chocolate flavour. There's no character here. This is about as basic as you can get.
Sugar is fairly high in the ingredient list (the higher the ingredient in the list, the greater the amount - so the first ingredient will have the most amount, while the last listed ingredient will have the least amount). There is more sugar than cocoa powder. The top ingredient is maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is similar to the glucose syrup used in Galaxy Light, and some glucose syrup is used here as well, but much further down in the ingredients list. Given the better taste and cost of Galaxy Light my assumption is that maltodextrin does the same thing as glucose syrup but not as well and for much cheaper.
The jar is 375g and costs 89p. The claim is 13 servings, so that's just under 7p per serving. Very cheap. But not good value for money.
