‘It’s beautiful’, shoppers go wild for new treats based on ‘childhood favourite’ 1970s chocolate bar

SHOPPERS have gone wild after new treats based on a “childhood favourite” chocolate bar from the 1970s hit the shelves.

After relaunching a strawberry-flavoured Aero bar earlier this year, Nestle has now launched the Aero Strawberry Flavour Melts.

The pink treat is a re-interpretation of the much-loved Aero strawberry chocolate bar – a nostalgic family favourite from decades ago.

With a deliciously sweet and tangy strawberry flavour, these bubbly buttons are perfect for sharing or munching on your own.

Sweet-tooth fans can’t wait to get their hands on the “beautiful” chocolate after a savvy shopper bagged some at her local Asda.

Customer Jo shared the find on Facebook, writing: “Found in Asda.”

Users were left ecstatic, with one person saying: “Omg I NEED these!!!”

Another replied: “These ones are beautiful better when they have been in fridge.”

You can find the sweet treat at Asda for just £1.65.

Nestlé relaunched a strawberry-flavoured Aero bar earlier this year and chocolate lovers have been loving the nostalgic family favourite.

Chocoholics have described the bar as “lovely”, adding that it “taste[s] like strawberry milkshake”.

Irish chocolate lovers set for frenzy as Cadbury to bring back ‘yummy’ 90s bar

Aero, then produced by Rowntree’s, first launched a strawberry version of its bubbly chocolate in the 1970s, but it didn’t stick around for long.

At that time the confectioner would often experiment with different flavours with others for its Aero brand including coffee, rum, orange and lime.

Fifty years on, the new strawberry bars appeared exclusively on Spar shelves in May, but have been rolled out across other retailers from the beginning of July.

A spokesperson for Nestlé said: “The bar brings together a smooth milk chocolate shell with a melt-in-the-mouth bubbly strawberry flavour centre.” 

Chocolate lovers frequently beg their favourite brands to bring back limited-edition favourites.

Yorkie scrapped its orange bars last month much to the dismay of customers, while a campaign begged Rowntree’s to bring back its Secret bar earlier this year.

Co-op shoppers have also rushed to get their hands on an “unreal” flavour cookie based on Aero’s popular mint chocolate bar.

Meanwhile, B&M shoppers loved a limited edition honeycomb salted caramel Mars chocolate bar that had fans drooling.

But, Cadbury has left fans disappointed after scrapping its Dairy Milk orange bars.

How to save money on chocolate

WE all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…

Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for supermarket’s own brand bars.

Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.

Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.

Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.

They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.

Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.

So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
