Aero Bubbles Mint half and half are back!


A very quick post - I was sent these Aero Bubbles as part of a Bzzagent campaign. Aero Bubbles are returning to a "half and half" look, rather then being completely covered in milk chocolate.


I do prefer this half and half look - having some visible green colour makes these immediately a "minty" snack. The previous Aero Bubbles all had the same milk chocolate coating, regardless of the flavour within. Now all three varieties of Aero Bubbles, orange, milk and mint, have their own unique appearance.


This might seem to be merely a cosmetic change but it does actually alter the balance of flavours. The previous Aero Bubbles had a much thicker layer of milk chocolate, and this was reflected in a smooth chocolate flavour to go along with the refreshing minty filling. These half and half Aero Bubbles have hardly any outer milk chocolate, and even that is a very thin covering. These are practically just an Aero mint layer by itself in a ball. Personally I would prefer it to be half milk chocolate inside aswell, which would give a bit more interest to the overall flavour.

UPDATE: Check out the excellent round up and history of Aero Bubbles so far, on Kev's Snack Reviews!

  1. Ah, you beat me to it hehe :D I'm gonna do a feature soon on the changes Aero Bubbles have gone through since they were launched. I never really understood why they made them in "all milk chocolate" at one point. These new ones are by far the best version they've done!

  2. I prefer all chocolate area to mint aero, the feeling of eating it is great, just the way the bubbles melt so easily, much better than wishpa

  3. These look super tasty. Small balls of minty delight! I'll keep an eye out for these. It's better than having a full might Aero mint bar in your handbag.

    1. Haha maybe I should put a warning: "these reviews may make you hungry"!

      But seriously, I did see these new Aero bubbles in my local newsagent yesterday, so hopefully it shouldn't be long before they are more widely available.

      BTW I bought some of those Oykos yogurts, thanks for the recommendation! Review coming soon :)
