Nestle Aero Bliss Salted Caramel

-

This week, Nestle launched another new product to the confectionery world under the Aero brand. It's something I had always thought they should do - a fancier version of Aero - and comes in a similar style box to Nestle Kitkat Senses. There's three varieties in the range; Milk Chocolate, Mixed and Salted Caramel selections. Nestle kindly sent me all three to review, and I'm supposed to hashtag them with #blissmoment...but do they deliver said moments of bliss?


Well, I ate the whole pack in one go so that's probably a good sign! And I'm not alone in that which makes me feel a little less guilty. The pack opens in rather a cool way (you may have seen my mini video on Instagram) and kind of becomes a cardboard bowl...but in reality, let's be honest you're gonna eat the lot!


The chocolates are described as "Velvety whipped bubbles wrapped in delicious milk chocolate" and "smooth milk chocolate filled with a salted caramel aerated whipped centre (40%)". The description doesn't mention the salted caramel pieces it also contains, which are listed in the ingredients.


First thing to note is how it says smooth milk chocolate, suggesting the recipe is different in these compared to regular Nestle chocolate. I can confirm that it does taste different and is smoother and creamier. The second thing to note is the aerated whipped centre...I'm not sure what that means exactly, as there's no visible bubbles in the filling, but it does taste like a lighter version of a praline centre, I suppose.


I do like the shape of these chocolates, they're pretty much like bubbles to fit the Aero theme, and have a slight curve in the middle. I cut one in half to give a cross section of the filling - you can just about see the crunchy caramel pieces in there:

They taste pretty good! As mentioned the chocolate is smoother than usual, the filling is a buttery caramel flavoured truffle like mixture with the caramel pieces giving bursts of salty sweetness. The salt part was noticeable and actually blended very well with the centre, which tastes quite buttery. I found these very moreish actually, and admittedly ended up eating the whole box. Nom nom!

Overall, these aren't super posh chocolates like Lindor or Ferrero Rocher, but I don't think they're pretending to be - they're a step up though and add variety to the Aero brand. They're £3 a box in Asda currently which I think is pretty reasonable for what they are. They're being positioned next to KitKat Senses which is of course a similar product.

If you try these, do let me know your thoughts in the comments!

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

-
Image
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 pr...

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...
