Lately, we’ve found ourselves second-guessing every “new launch” we see online. Between viral food drops and increasingly convincing April Fools’ jokes, it’s getting harder to tell what’s actually real. But this one, we’re pleased to confirm is the real deal.
There’s a brand-new Aero chocolate bar on the scene, and it’s landed in what might just be this year’s most talked-about flavour: pistachio.
The flavour that doesn't seem to be slowing down and has been popping up everywhere lately. From lattes to desserts, this celebrity nut has now made its way into one of the UK’s most iconic chocolate bars. The new Aero combines that signature light, bubbly texture with a pistachio-flavoured centre, promising a nutty twist on the classic.
And while we’re very eager to try it, there’s a slight problem. It’s proving incredibly difficult to get hold of. At the moment, it seems to be popping up in smaller, more obscure retailers rather than major supermarkets, which only adds to the intrigue.
Reviews online are already divided. Some early tasters are calling it “delicious” with a subtle nutty flavour, while others claim it “barely tastes of pistachio at all.” So naturally, we’re even more curious.
As for where to find it, sightings have mainly been reported at Heron Foods, a discount supermarket chain largely based in the North of England. So if you’re local, it might be worth popping in to see if you can track one down.
Between the hype, the mystery and the current pistachio obsession, this is one chocolate bar that’s got everyone talking.
