Aldi Xmas Food

[LBOCS2]

Is now in store! They have the usual offerings (Gluhwein, stollen, epic fudge) and a few new bits - chocolate covered stollen bites, and flavoured nuts. For everyone on MN's benefit I have done some taste testing and can confirm that the salted caramel almonds are extremely delicious, although the bags they're sold in could be a LOT bigger. You're all welcome.

They don't have the salted fudge this year. I think the maple syrup one looks the closest. The salted one was unspeakably good.

They did proper caviar a couple of years ago. I'd like it if they did that again.

I thought the butter fudge was nicer than the salted fudge last year.

Is the gingerbread ice cream in yet?

I'd forgotten about the gingerbread ice-cream. I think I bought one tub out of curiosity and then had a small bowl every day for the rest of December.

Ooh yes the Irish coffees....mmmmm I can't make them myself so we always get these (but only at Xmas)

Failing that M&S sometimes do them as part of the dine in for 2 offer

the Florentines!
They didn't even last the car journey home (I had a run of red lights) and now all I can think of is getting back to aldi to buy more.

Will have to road test the salted maple fudge later to avoid lapsing into a diabetic coma.

My DH is dairy-free so unfortunately it sounds like all of these things will be purchased purely for meeeeee!

I made a platter of the lebkuchen, stolen bites, Florentines, and mini mince pies for our Xmas party at playgroup. I was overrun with people wanting to know where it was all from. If I start buying now I will eat it all I bloody love Xmas Aldi food!

The Liebkuchen are in my local Aldi, they are my favourite Christmassy snack in the whole world

I might have to go back to Aldi and see if they were just hiding. I love them so much.

Dh and I 'accidentally' shared a box of Aldi stollen on the way home from our shop this week. We'll probably be sharing a box each week for the foreseeable. We feel it's essential to taste test ( multiple times) before giving to the kids at Christmas.

We haven't got an aldi nearby, but Lidl is a short drive. Has anyone done a taste test on their Christmas food?
