Aldi’s always surprises me. Every year at Christmas they really bring their A game. Rather its speciality candies from Europe specifically Germany or frozen treats Aldi’s has it covered.
Let’s start with the candy. Keep in mind European chocolate isn’t the super sweet we are use to here in America. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a Hershey bar as much as anyone. However, Aldi’s has introduced me to chocolate bars from other countries. Venezuela chocolate bars tend to have more of a bittersweet flavor as opposed to Mexican chocolate which can have chili powder in it. It delicious. The mixture of cinnamon and chili powder is incredible. Brazilian chocolate also is a favorite of mine.
Frozen treats. Let’s get this out of the way. A couple years ago Antonia tried the plant based products and she didn’t have a word to say. Remember she is a teenager and they can be brutal. Cakes like Black Forest Cake. . Chocolate on top of chocolate with cherries. How can you go wrong. However if that’s not your thing, go for the German or French Apple cake. Either way you can’t go wrong.
Cheeses! Aldi’s has a great choice of cheese and it is at a good price. A wedge of Fontina at Aldi’s is $4.00 max that would cost $7 to ten dollars at Kroger. You can also get cranberry brie cheese. That’s not really our thing If it is yours, I can tell you it will be affordable. Of course, they have good choice of produce.
Remember they are having to raise their prices as well as the other stores.
