nestle aeros

Hm. Chocolate with bubbles. Pretty interesting idea, which was what conned me into taking a bite out of both bars (how do they get those bubbles in the chocolate? does it affect the taste?).

verdict: hm. well, it's chocolate, so i can't say i didn't enjoy it, but i didn't like that the pieces don't actually break cleanly (which is why i ended just picking up the gigantic slab and stuffing a corner into my mouth).

the bubbles do actually make it taste... lighter, whatever that means (like it's whipped i suppose), but i dunno, i thought they were a tad large/coarse (crappy carbonation).

also, how does one "feel the bubbles melt"?

i don't think i felt the bubbles melt.

also, now that i think about it, doesn't that just mean that nestle is selling us a candybar with a lower density of chocolate, a larger air to chocolate ratio? how could that possibly be good?

i, for one, am all about maximizing the effect of my british pounds/pennies.

well, whatever. an interesting and apparently only european (possibly only british? i dunno) candybar. now i want to try a wispa, cadbury-ean counterpart to the aero...

in other unrelated news, for those of you who haven't tried ferrero's kinder line of choc, you totally should. the bueno esp. it's sort of like kit kat, with the whole milk-chocolate covering a thin, crispy wafer concept, except (and get this) that within each wafer is the most heavenly milk/hazelnut filling, a la nutella, as previously mentioned.

i think in the race towards best lay chocolate bar/snack ever, these are definitely winning.
