Nestle has merged two of its best-known chocolate brands – KitKat and Aero – with the launch of KitKat Chunky Aero Mint.

The new bar has three layers of crisp wafer, topped with aerated peppermint and covered in milk chocolate.

Joyce Tan, head of marketing confectionery at Nestle, said the company wanted to create a new flavour and texture combination that would excite consumers.

“There’s so much love for both of these chocolate bars, so we’re excited for them to become one and take the KitKat choc mint experience to the next level,” said Tan.

KitKat Chunky Aero Mint is available in grocery and convenience stores nationwide for RRP $2.
