Two iconic Australian chocolate brands – KitKat and Aero – have collaborated to create the KitKat Chunky Aero Mint. 

The minty bar has three layers of crispy KitKat wafer topped with Aero’s peppermint, lightly aerated chocolate, and finished in a coating of milk chocolate. 

Nestlé head of marketing confectionery Joyce Tan said: “The KitKat team are always looking for ways to create the most exciting break. So, we wanted to launch a new creation which would excite fans with a flavour and texture combination that would leave them longing for more. 

“There’s so much love for both of these chocolate bars, 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 will be available nationwide in grocery and convenience stores for RRP $2.00.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
