Advantages: A useful teaching aid

Disadvantages: Calories and sharing with students

Aero are an important part of my teaching arsenal, while teaching the concept of "added value" I challenge my students to work out how to calculate the cost to the consumer of the air in an aero, it is not hard to do so answers on a postcard to Dooyoo and they will give you a wonderful prize.

There are a few varieties of aero, mint and chocolate are the two main types, this is a review of the mint aero which you can also get in the form of a packet of mint balls. Mint aero has a fresh taste to it because of the mint, it is a chocolate coated bar that breaks horizontally into about six fingers per bar and costs 50p, you can also buy a bigger bar for around the £1.50 mark.

The outer layer is nice smooth milk chocolate while the centre is a mint fondant sugar sort of honeycomb arrangement that is a bright green colour and not surprisingly mint flavoured. It is meant to be mint bubbles hence the air calculation.

It is a soft bar to bite into although I firm it up a bit in the freezer. It does have a wonderful peppermint flavour to it which is mellowed slightly by the sweet taste of the milk chocolate and the two combine well together for a satisfying chocolate bar.

Summary: Mint and chocolate
