  • Aero: A light, bubbly chocolate bar that comes in several flavors, including mint and orange.
  • Smarties: Colourful sugar-coated chocolate candies, similar to M&M's.

Acquisition by Nestlé

In 1988, Rowntree's was acquired by Swiss multinational food and drink processing conglomerate Nestlé. The acquisition has allowed Rowntree's to expand its product range and reach a wider audience.
