CHOCOLATE fans are rushing to Sainsbury's to snap up a brand new Aero flavour that's causing a stir online – and it's scanning at just £2.

One eagle-eyed user posted on Facebook: 'New Double Choc Brownie Aero Melts spotted at Sainsbury's.'
Fans flocked to the comments, with one writing: 'Why don't they do these in the mint flavour.'
Another said: 'Running to Sainsburys now.'
A third added: 'Only £2 yes' – while others were busy tagging friends to alert them to the find.
The new Aero treat appears to be exclusive to Sainsbury's for now, with stock already flying off shelves in branches across England and beyond.
The bubbly chocolate melts are infused with a rich double chocolate brownie flavour – perfect for fans of gooey, indulgent treats.
Sainsbury's shoppers are no strangers to limited-edition sweet finds, and with the Aero Melts available at a budget-friendly price, it's no surprise they're disappearing fast.
Nestlé's Aero range has grown steadily in recent years, with the brand launching fun and surprising twists on the classic bubbly chocolate bar.
The popularity of their mint and caramel versions paved the way for experimental launches like this brownie-inspired version.
The frenzy at Sainsbury's comes hot on the heels of similar excitement at Asda, where shoppers recently raced to snap up a rare Aero Choco Hazelnut dessert likened to Nutella.
The Facebook post had shoppers tagging friends and planning supermarket trips.
One fan said: 'This chocolate bar is amazing!! Tastes like Nutella,' while another added: 'I need to try these.'
The mousse-like dessert pots come in at just 88 calories each – offering a lighter way to indulge. But, like many of Nestlé's speciality items, it could be a limited-time treat.
Meanwhile, Premier convenience stores have been drawing in chocoholics with another exclusive – the Aero Coconut bar, spotted in Birkenhead. Selling at £1.50, the tropical twist features eight coconut-filled pieces and has been hailed as a must-try.
Social media users wasted no time reacting.
One wrote: 'Omg I need this,' while another urged a friend: 'Go find it xx.'
To top it all off, Nestlé has launched three new KitKat bars too – including Chunky Funky, Chunky Salted Caramel, and Blue Riband Vanilla. The latter offers a slightly lighter option with just 83 calories per bar.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
