Chocolate lovers, prepare yourselves…
Nestlé has just launched some brand new products in the UK, combining not one, but two of the UK’s favourite sweet treats.
And despite the items only just hitting the shelves, shoppers across the UK have already hailed them ‘unreal’ and a ‘game-changer’.
That’s because the chocolate giant has brought together both Milkybar and Aero to create a new Aero Milkybar range, with two different options – classic bubbles and bars too.
The new range combines the white chocolate of the Milkybar, which has been around since 1936, with the bubbly chocolate of Aero, which first launched in 1935.

Available in supermarkets and shops such as Sainsbury’s, Iceland and Home Bargains, the snacks have now been launched in the UK, after proving a success in Australia.
Prices vary across supermarkets, but at Iceland, a multipack of four Aero Milkybar bars (108g) currently costs £1.50, as does a 92g bubbles bag.
Meanwhile, at Sainsbury’s, the 145g sharing bar is £2.50, though it’s currently listed as out of stock online.

Speaking about the launch, Nestlé Confectionery Marketing Manager, Rachel Beaufoy, told Newsquest: ‘We’re very excited to see fan reactions to the team-up of two of our classic brands.
‘The iconic Milkybar white chocolate combined with the signature Aero bubbles is a duo we know fans will love.’
This isn’t the first time Aero has collaborated with other brands for new treats. In April this year, they teamed up with The Devil Wears Prada 2 for a new pistachio flavour.
And 2026 has been a busy year for Aero, as the brand also introduced Caramel Flavour Bubbles in February.

What do people think of the new chocolates?
Safe to say, many people are excited about the launch.
On Instagram, @vicky_phillips86 said: ‘This best get in my belly.’
‘It’s incredible,’ @amyandelsierose added.
‘This could be a game-changer,’ @frukgram claimed, while @mazzaeg called it ‘my dream chocolate!’
‘Damnn’ @diizeh_ wrote.
‘They’re unreal! More chewy in texture than a Malteser!’ shared @ciara_tatum.
Over on the Facebook group ‘Snack News & Reviews,’ people were also enthusiastic about the new products.
Becky Strank said, ‘This looks banging to be fair.’
While Chloe Hughes wrote, ‘Bring it on!!!’
‘Hell yessss!’ exclaimed Philippa James.
However, not everyone was quite so impressed, as a few didn’t like the texture of the bubbles, which they thought was different from regular Aero.
Philip Broadway shared: ‘I had the bag, it’s like golden Graham’s coated in a thin layer of not great tasting white chocolate. I’ll have to try the bar, though, just in case.’
Additionally, Steven Saunders noted: ‘The bubbles are pretty nice, I think, the only problem with them for me is that they’re not really bubbly like an Aero, it’s quite chalky inside and not much air at all.’
‘The bubbles don’t have a taste,’ added Katie Louise Scott.
