Galaxy owner Mars says: "Combining the classic crunchy base of a digestive biscuit, with the irresistible creamy taste of smooth, finely milled Galaxy milk chocolate, this is a biscuit designed for you to enjoy for that little bit longer… Every last crumb!"

She said: “There has been very little challenge to the market leader in recent years, even though research would suggest that there is space for a market challenger brand to occupy.

The biscuits will retail for £1.89.
