Aero Candy Cane Bubbles (Ocado) By @Cinabar

What flavour are candy canes traditionally? They are peppermint. This concludes today’s Christmas quiz. Candy canes are an American tradition, but they are gaining popularity here in the UK as they are cute to look at and full of minty goodness. I have a few favourite flavours for chocolate, and one of them is peppermint (the others include cinnamon and peanut butter). Anyway, I thought I was in for a treat with a lovely bag of minty chocolate goodness when I picked up this bag of Aero Candy Cane Bubbles.

I opened up the pack and thought the chocolates were super pretty. They are half dark pink and half white, mimicking the candy cane pattern, sort of. I gave one a taste and it had a white chocolate flavour, and that was it. I checked the pack, and these are vanilla flavour, with no mint. Oh my. I didn’t see that coming. I should have checked more thoroughly on the label before tucking in, but why on earth would you call it candy cane and not include any candy cane flavour? So each chocolate has a nice, creamy white chocolate taste with a touch of vanilla. I love Aero; I like the texture of the bubbles. That isn’t the problem; the problem was that these Aero Candy Cane Bubbles should have been mint.
