Nestle Aero Mint Chocolate - 90g

In Britain, Aero has been on the newsagent's shelf for as long as most people can remember, and the mint bar is the one people reach for when plain milk chocolate feels a bit ordinary. It is a corner-shop staple and a sofa staple in equal measure.

Here in Canada, people come looking for it because they want that particular bar: the British Aero Mint, the one with the bubbles they remember from school trips, car journeys and the walk home. A memory that specific does not settle for a near miss.

This is the 90g bar, which breaks into chunky pieces and is technically for sharing. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun. Some people swear by the fridge for a firmer snap. Others think that is a crime. That argument never ends.

It goes very well with a pot of proper tea, and it sits happily in a basket alongside the rest of the British chocolate, biscuits and sweets people stock up on when they are missing home.
