Hershey's Air Delight

Hershey's Air Delight

This product was introduced to my by B. Ryan and I finally got my hands on one. It's Hershey's Chocolate that is Aerated (pumped with tiny little air bubbles). It's a very mysterious product because it is hard to dream up what they would taste like. I heard aerated chocolate is a very popular delicacy over seas. I was warned to keep it stored in a cool location otherwise the chocolate would melt together, thus getting rid of the air pockets. Hershey's Original chocolate bars are my favorite. I actually enjoyed the Air Delight more than the original. The best way to describe it is that the chocolate is a lot easier to bite into. Instead of the bar snapping, your teeth sink right into it. The chocolate is lighter (like air!). Melts better in your mouth. Very unique experience and I recommend that you go out there and try it. Click on the image above to see the detail of the air bubbles embedded in the milk chocolate. Air Delights also come in Kisses form:



UPDATE: Thanks to a comment by @bense27, I was introduced to Nestle Aero from the United Kingdom:

  1. Did Hershey's copy Nestle? Or did Nestle copy Hershey's?

    The Nestle Aero is pretty popular in Europe.
