New Aero Mousse Chocolate Bar Review

-

Here we have the latest chocolate bar to shake up the confectionary world, the imaginitive new Aero Mousse! Please do forgive my sarcasm, it's just that this bar seems a bit plain and pointless to me, but nevertheless I still had to give it a try when I spotted it in Boots recently. According to the press release, it's being marketed at women, because of course no man would ever eat such a light chocolate bar. Only Yorkies for us please! 


Opening the wrapper and placing the bar next to it I was struck by how small it looked. I presumed this is because the mousse adds extra to the weight of the bar...but it only weighs 34g which doesn't seem a lot! I'm not sure how much a regular Aero weighs these days as I never buy them, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 34 grams. 

Anyway, the front of the pack gives the calories for half of the bar...because of course any self respecting woman would only eat a measly 17 grams!


Being the manly man that I am though, of course I scoffed the lot. And it tasted very pleasant indeed. It had that unmistakable Aero taste we all know - milky with a decent cocoa flavor, and very sweet of course. I couldn't really tell the mousse layer was there...it tasted like a smooth chocolate paste, maybe slightly softer, but nothing that really stood out. Overall the bar was nice enough, definitely lighter than your average chocolate bar. But it didn't do much for me. 

I'm not sure I'd recommend this Aero to be honest, but I'm biased because I prefer higher quality chocolates nowadays. This is just too sweet for me, and I'd rather spend 69p on something else to be honest! I also can't help thinking it'd have been better with a hazelnut mousse filling instead of milk chocolate.

RATING: 7 out of 10

 Price: 69p at Boots.
Suitable for vegetarians. Contains milk.

 Have you tried this new Aero Mousse? If so what did you think? Let me know in the comments!

    Plain chocolate?

    It looks like milk chocolate to me.

    I tried this the other day and thought the same, not really much different to a regular aero! And I too don't really buy aeros anymore so I don't think I would bother purchasing this bar again!

    I find it quite irritating that chocolate brands aren't as adventurous as they used to be with their products? I'm still waiting for my Cappuccino KitKat and my Lemonade Crunchie! I don't usually bother even trying new chocolate bars like this because unless it's a new concept it doesn't really feel that special. I doubt Aero Mousse bars will last long either... :)

  5. AGGRAVATING AERO MOUSSE ADVERT8 November 2015 at 10:28

    ****ing mega annoying radio advert for this diabetes inducing crap, it's never off Classic FM some demented woman doing a faux and zero humourous take off of a pretentious wine review, complete with extra annoying clicky keyboard noises. She's totally hyper and over the top, first she screams "BIG HIT OF CHOCOLATE" I suppose that's marketing speak for sugar, then she SCREEEECHES... " WHATEVER" like some idiot peed off Yankee teen geek. I can think of one good combination for her and her saccharine bar.

    I totally agree. It's the most annoying advert ever. I have to switch off every time it comes on classic fm to avoid being very rude to my innocent little radio.

      They should put her in a room for a couple of days and make her listen to a non stop playing of the, I even hate to mention the name, the infamous, torturous, engine revving Audi rolling road advert, then, if she survived, she could truly claim that she had earned her Aero fee. If you reach breaking point try this alternative, and much better internet radio station alternative.

Pringles Salted Egg Review

Another weird snack and this time it’s Salted Egg Flavour Pringles! These are apparently popular in other parts of the word so maybe not as weird as they may seem to us Brits... and they’re actually not so bad! Not as eggy as I expected - I had visions of an awful gaseous pong coming from the tub, haha! - but just a slight salty egg flavour.   If you’re curious, find them from www.gbgifts.co.uk (gifted).

Asda Tinned Banana Blossom Review

-

Recently, I spotted a totally new vegetable/fruit (not sure which it actually is!) in Asda called Banana Blossom in a tin. It was next to the tins of Jackfruit which is a well known vegan meat alternative. I assumed it was a similar thing so happily bought some to try - it’s £1.50 a tin. The image on the wrapper looked innocent enough - battered fish pieces, only vegan! Surely this stuff must be good? Turns out that packaging was very misleading because nothing could prepare me for the horror that was lurking inside...when I opened the tin it was like opening something from a horror film, discovering the mouldy body of an ancient alien creature or other such evil. It looked hideous!! “Surely this is not meant for human consumption?!”, I thought. Heck it’s not even suitable for bird consumption....I think flies would even turn their nose up at this thing, which looked like rotten infested seaweed. When I posted this on my  Instagram  page the responses were predictably

Lidl Way To Go Fin Carre Ethical Chocolate

-

I recently spotted some new funky looking bars in Lidl, and instantly they reminded me of Tony’s Chocolonely bars, the ethical brand that launched last year donating money to helping end slavery in cocoa production. I’ve always loved the Tony’s brand and I think in 2020, more than ever, we need more ethically produced products - it should be expected, let’s be honest! So it’s always nice to see another brand like this even if it’s essentially copying Tony’s. I got the dark chocolate version to try as I was curious how it would be compared to other dark chocolates. In hindsight this was a mistake, as the actual chocolate is nothing extraordinary. It’s nice enough and good quality don’t get me wrong but it has no particular distinct flavour to make me buy it again. I’ll certainly try the other two flavours which are Milk Chocolate and Almond and Sea Salt, and I do like the chunky haphazard block design that mimics Tony’s Chocolonely. It’s a shame through that Lidl don’t just stock
