Aero White Chocolate – A Tasty Combo of White and Milk Chocolate

I think it’s clear at this point that combining white chocolate with milk chocolate is the way to go.  Stuff like Kit Kat White & Milk and Kinder Chocolate is proof that it’s a great combo.  I like white chocolate, but in the absence of cocoa solids, its flavour tends to be a bit one-note sweet.  Adding milk chocolate thoroughly solves that problem while still retaining white chocolate’s distinct personality.

Aero White Chocolate

Aero White Chocolate, despite the name, isn’t fully white — it features a milk chocolate exterior with an aerated white chocolate interior.

It’s quite good.  It’s got an interesting texture from the bubbles in the middle, enough milk chocolate to give it a nice punch of cocoa flavour, and a creamy white chocolate base that gives it a pleasant milkiness.  If you’ve ever had Kinder Chocolate, this is the same idea, but with the bubbliness you get from an Aero.

It’s very sweet — white chocolate does tend to be on the sweeter side — but not overwhelmingly so.  The milk chocolate does a solid job of balancing things out.

Aero – Uniquely Bubbly Chocolate

Aero is another British bar that, for whatever reason, is sold pretty much everywhere in the world except for the States. I’m really not sure why; it’s pretty good, and as far as I’m aware, there’s nothing else in the US quite like it. There’s Mirage, but I think that may only be available in Canada.

Aero is just pure milk chocolate. What sets it apart is the unique way it’s made – the inside of the bar is filled with tiny bubbles, which gives Aero its unique texture. This uniqueness helps compensate for milk chocolate which isn’t exactly of the highest quality; it’s decent, but it’s too sweet and not really creamy enough.

I actually prefer the dark chocolate variety (which features dark chocolate on the outside, while the inside – ie. the bubbles – remains milk chocolate) because the dark chocolate helps to balance out the overall sweetness of the bar. But even if the chocolate itself isn’t that great, I still enjoy eating these on occasion, if only for the uniqueness provided by the bubbly consistency of the bar.
