Nestlé has launched a new chocolate range in the UK that merges two iconic brands: Milkybar and Aero. The Aero Milkybar range includes classic bubbles and bars, combining Milkybar's white chocolate with Aero's signature bubbly texture.
Products and availability
The new range is available at supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Iceland, and Home Bargains. Prices vary: at Iceland, a multipack of four Aero Milkybar bars (108g) costs £1.50, as does a 92g bubbles bag. At Sainsbury's, the 145g sharing bar is priced at £2.50, though it was listed as out of stock online at the time of reporting.
Background and fan reactions
Milkybar was first introduced in 1936, while Aero launched in 1935. The products had already proved successful in Australia before their UK debut. On Instagram, @vicky_phillips86 said: 'This best get in my belly.' @amyandelsierose added: 'It’s incredible.' @frukgram called it 'a game-changer,' and @mazzaeg said it was 'my dream chocolate!' @ciara_tatum shared: 'They’re unreal! More chewy in texture than a Malteser!'
Mixed reviews
Not all feedback was positive. Some consumers disliked the texture of the bubbles. Philip Broadway commented: '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.' 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.' Katie Louise Scott added: 'The bubbles don’t have a taste.'
Official statement
Rachel Beaufoy, Nestlé Confectionery Marketing Manager, 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.'
Other Aero collaborations in 2026
This is not Aero's first collaboration this year. In April, the brand teamed up with The Devil Wears Prada 2 for a new pistachio flavour. In February, Aero introduced Caramel Flavour Bubbles.
