How to Make Easy No-Bake Mint Aero Traybake Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Your Tin and Biscuit Base

Start by greasing and lining an 8×8” square baking tin with baking paper; this makes removing your traybake effortless. Then place your digestive biscuits in a ziplock bag and bash them with a rolling pin until crumbly but leaving a few chunky bits for added texture.

Step 2: Melt Butter and Golden Syrup

In a large saucepan set over low-medium heat, melt the unsalted butter with the golden syrup, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and combined. This sticky base is what will hold your crushed biscuits together beautifully.

Step 3: Melt Your Chocolates

Place both the dark chocolate and milk chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and gently melt them in 30-second bursts, stirring in between to avoid burning and to achieve a luscious, silky mixture.

Step 4: Combine Chocolate and Syrup Mixtures

Pour the melted chocolates into the buttery syrup in the saucepan, stirring it all together until perfectly combined — this rich blend will coat the biscuit crumbs evenly, binding them wonderfully.

Step 5: Add Crushed Biscuits

Stir your crushed digestive biscuits into the chocolate mixture until every crumb is covered, then transfer this into your prepared tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon for a nice, even layer. Set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.

Step 6: Press in Mint Aero Bubbles

Once the base is cool but still a little tacky, press the Mint Aero Bubbles into the mixture evenly, then gently smooth the surface again — this incorporates those delightful minty bubbles right inside the traybake for a pleasing texture pop in every bite.

Step 7: Create the Marbled Topping

Melt the milk and white chocolates separately in the microwave using 30-second bursts. Add a few drops of green food colouring to the white chocolate and mix well to get that classic minty hue. Spoon alternating blobs of milk and green-coloured white chocolate over the traybake.

Step 8: Swirl the Chocolate

Using a skewer or cocktail stick, swirl the two chocolates through each other in a marbling motion to create a beautiful pattern that’s as tempting to the eyes as it is to the taste buds.

Step 9: Add Final Aero Bubbles and Chill

Pop the tray in the fridge for about 5 minutes to firm up the chocolate slightly, then sprinkle the remaining Aero Bubbles on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing to let everything set perfectly.

How to Serve Easy No-Bake Mint Aero Traybake Recipe

Garnishes

Enhance the minty freshness by adding a sprig of fresh mint or some finely grated chocolate on top. A light dusting of icing sugar can also add a festive touch.

Side Dishes

This traybake pairs brilliantly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk. A cup of mint tea can also complement the flavours and refresh your palate.

Creative Ways to Present

Try cutting the traybake into bite-sized squares and serving on a decorative platter for parties or layering pieces between parchment paper in a cute gift box for a thoughtful homemade gift that looks stunning and tastes even better.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This traybake will stay fresh and delicious for up to one week, making it perfect for prepping ahead or enjoying over multiple days.

Freezing

You can freeze the traybake for up to two months. Just wrap it securely in cling film and foil. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving to retain that perfect melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Reheating

This traybake is best enjoyed cold, but if you prefer a slightly softer texture, leave it at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. Avoid microwave reheating as it can cause the Aero Bubbles to lose their aeration and crunch.
