Hybrid Flavor Chocolate Bars

The Nestlé Aero Dark & Milk Balances the Best of Both Worlds

— January 28, 2021 — Marketing
Dark chocolate has increased in popularity but still features a flavor profile that not all consumers enjoy, so the Nestlé Aero Dark & Milk is positioned to help offer shoppers the best of both worlds. The bar contains 51% cocoa solids and comes in a sharing size format to make it perfect for families or gatherings. The bar follows on the product line's popularity as it continues to become one of the favorite options for consumers in the UK to pick up.

Brand Manager Hannah Smithson spoke on the new Nestlé Aero Dark & Milk saying, "More shoppers than ever are seeking out the stronger flavor notes of dark chocolate, but we know that some people can find the taste overpowering. Aero Dark and Milk has a higher percentage of cocoa solids than standard Aero chocolate, which makes it ideal for those who are looking for a more intense, grown up flavor. At the same time, it retains the creamy taste elements you would find in milk chocolate, which means there is no bitterness.”
