Love is in the Aisle

Its only a few scant days away from Valentines and there are some delicious goodies in the candy aisle.

Personally I'm not so much of a fan of simple changes to packaging, I really like it when candy and chocolate companies go out of their way to make something unique for the holidays.

Mixed in with the Valentines stuff there were a few early Easter items. Specifically Check out these egg shaped Lindors! Nice packaging on that :)

Also this 3 pack of Creme Eggs, has a To / From spot on the packaging. Since we don't usually give presents for Easter, or at least not that much... Do you think they are trying to get people to give Creme Eggs for Valentines?

I wish they would do a Valentines CReme Egg. Maybe strawberry flavored... it would be pretty good :D Anyhow, I'll have one or two Valentines reviews for you over the next week or so, just keep it locked right here.

Year of the Kiss?

Hershey's has made a step to capture a new holiday. Chinese New Year. Yup that's right I said Chinese New Year. And why not? I mean it's a popular holiday, there are fireworks, and everyone lets loose. Seems like as good a time as any to eat some Hershey Kisses right?

Check out this cool New Years packaged Kisses I found while roaming the candy aisle.

For the record, Chinese new year begins on February 10th this year, and it will soon become once again the year of the Snake...

Another New Look

Aside from the recent changes to the Aero bar, I noticed another new look for a classic chocolate in the candy aisle today. Also from Nestle, here we have Rolo in bar form.

Is this something that Rolo fans have been clamoring for? I always thought the form factor was one of the huge selling points for Rolo. We'll have to see if this new version sticks around.

Aero's Bubbly New Look

I know I already mentioned the redesigned Aero with "bubbles" here on the Candy Aisle, but I was over at the local WalMart the other day and saw a full on display for it, along with some new flavors. I guess they're really going all out with this bubble bar concept.

I'm not trying to knock it since I haven't tried it, but I can't say I'm crazy about the "taste the Bubbles" tagline. I mean how do you taste a bubble? What does the bubble texture taste like exactly? The actual new design of the bar is pretty cool though. Stil, is it something I'd go out of my way to get?

Well that's new!  Truffle and Duo are both concepts that I am excited to see applied to the Aero bar. This is a bar that can definitely withstand some mucking around with. Take for example the various bite sized bubble varieties:

I wonder if this is where the whole real bubbles concept came from... I know these bite sized bubbles have been around for a while now. Maybe they inspired this new bubble bar look. As for the flavoring though you can see that Aero is no stranger to veering off the beaten path.

I'm excited to see what they do with the Bubble Bar. No I'm not sure its worth it, and no I don't intend to make a new review for the classic Aero (since I only recently posted that) but I'll defintiely be keeping my eyes open, and hopefully sometime soon will get to personally "taste the bubbles"... whatever that means.

For those who may have missed it here is my review of the classic Aero bar.
