Day 15: Aerated Candies

One lesser known candy variety is the aerated kind. My favorite would be chocolate-covered honeycomb. Simply delicious! Cadbury makes a bar of this known as crunchie. It is good but I prefer the more homemade kind. The problem with the crunchie is that the air holes in the bar are a little more compact, making the overall consistency much denser. My favorite kind I get at a road-side fruit market in Beaumont. For one the chunks are much bigger than the crunchie bar. The chocolate coating is thicker but I don't mind. It's always fun biting the chocolate off first :P And best of all the consistency is much more aerated. The type of honeycomb used in candy bars is made from spun molasses and sugar.


Another tasty aerated candy is also made by Cadbury. These are the Aero and Bubbly bars. The original Aero bar is mint-flavored. The outside is milk chocolate and the bubbles inside are colored mint green. The bubbles in Aero give it an interesting texture, more fudgy than chocolatey. I recently learned that Aero bars are available in Bittersweet Orange. This Bar comes with dark chocolate bubbles with a layer of what appears to orange cream atop the bubbles but underneath the chocolate coating. Cadbury's Bubble bay is entirely milk chocolate, bubbles, coating, and all.
