Could I have an honest opinion on this please!

I have made this for a raffle prize for my son's rugby team. They are holding a quiz and raffle to raise money for their tour.
I was okay to start with and was enjoying doing it(apart from finding out just how hot a glue gun is - ouch!) but then my confidence left me as it kind of dawned on me that people would be paying a £1 a ticket and may buy more than one. I know whisky and that type of thing always goes first but would you be dissapointed to recieve this as a prize?
It's in the club colours, their team name and logo is rewrapped mars bar mini's and a pic of the team on a galaxy bar. Sorry I've had to hide their faces behind that white piece of paper.
Please be honest, I've been worrying about it all afternoon but I'd rather know now so I could buy something else as a prize.
TIA.

    I would prefer to win a unique prize like this rather than yet another cheap and nasty bottle of wine that would probably be so unpalatable it would get recycled back into the next raffle. :)

    Apart from your unique creativity, what I love about this is that it's a prize to share, everyone can have a choccie and the winner can keep the bar of chocolate and photo. Everyone's a winner.

    Thank you very much everyone.
    I've right got the colly wobbles about it, I think because it will probably be mostly men and young lads - and they don't always see the effort that's gone into making things and the fact I gained 3 burn blisters for my trouble. Owwww. Stupid glue gun, need more practise with one of those:rotfl:

    Thanks zippy, :o sorry, I misunderstood you but threelittlepigs(thank you) made things clear.
    I know my photography is really bad but it was so hard to get a good pic and I thought you mean't a gun on one of the chocs. LOL
    Ohhh I will have to be more careful with it, it's the first time I used it and it's quite dangerous. I was stuck to everything, yelping round the kitchen. One of my fingers is still burning 7 hours later.
  • Brilliant!!!

    i think zippy means the glue gun.
