The new Aero Milkybar lineup combines Aero’s signature bubble texture with the [creamy white chocolate flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-white) of Milkybar. The new chocolates will be produced at the company's York factory and there will be two formats available: a new Aero Milkybar tablet bar and a sharing pack of Aero Milkybar Bubbles that features [bite-sized treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twirl-white-dipped) inside. As Rachel Beaufoy, Marketing Manager at Nestlé, says, “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.” You can find the new Aero Milkybar range at select stores right now, with the full range rolling out more widely in August.
