A customer showed off the find by posting on the "Food Finds UK Official" Facebook group.
Sharing a photo of the vegan treats, they wrote: "Spotted the new vegan Galaxy Honeycomb—so good!"
Galaxy describes the bar as a "delicious blend of velvety cocoa, rich hazelnut paste and crunchy golden honeycomb pieces."
And chocoholics can't wait to try it with many rushing to the comments to share their excitement.
One Facebook user wrote: "I've gotta try this."
Sainsbury's is selling Galaxy's new vegan Galaxy Honeycomb bar in selected stores for £1.50.
The Vegan Salted Caramel and Fruit & Nut 40g bars are also listed on the website for £1.50.
The vegan range is slightly more pricey than the regular versions, but promise to be just as tasty.
The larger are still expensive but work out cheaper with the 100g vegan Classic and Crumbled Cookie bars currently on sale for £3.00.
Galaxy launched its first-ever range of vegan chocolate bars back in 2019.

The range was an instant hit, coming in three delicious flavours - caramelised hazelnut, caramel & sea salt and smooth orange.
But it seems other chocolate producers are axing their vegan ranges.
Nestle confirmed it had discontinued its vegan KitKat bar in January due to dwindling demand from customers.
A spokesperson for Nestle said: "Unfortunately, global demand has been reducing to the point that production was making manufacturing more and more complex and we have now made the difficult decision to discontinue the product."
The spokesperson added the bar will still be available to buy in the UK and Republic of Ireland until summer.
The 41.5g four-finger bar is still in stock in Morrisons, Asda and Tesco websites for £1.
If it's just chocolate you're after - vegan or not - now's the time to get it.
With Easter behind us supermarkets are slashing the prices of their festive chocolates.
Galaxy Chocolate Eggs have been seen at Aldi for £2.99, while Sainsbury's has large Easter eggs for just £2.
Over at Asda, shoppers are also reporting major reductions on leftover chocolate stock.
But remember - it's always worth having a look across different stores and comparing prices to make sure you're landing the best deals and getting the best value for money.
To compare prices effectively, try using price comparison websites and apps like Trolley.co.uk, Google Shopping, or Idealo.
These tools can help you find the best deals by comparing prices across multiple retailers.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
