The continued existence of both Mirage and Aero is somewhat baffling to me. They’re both pretty much the exact same thing — plain, aerated milk chocolate — and they’re both made by Nestle.
Aero easily has the higher profile, so why Nestle hasn’t just discontinued Mirage for being completely redundant is a bit of a head-scratcher.
The biggest difference between the two, as far as I can tell, is that the bubbles in Mirage seem a bit smaller. But I’d have to eat them side-by-side to know for sure.
They’re otherwise pretty much exactly the same: overly sweet, okay-quality milk chocolate that’s elevated by the pleasant texture you get from the aeration. The chocolate here would be just so-so without the delightful bubbliness, but the unique texture it brings definitely makes this worth trying out.
