10 Aldi Chocolates Customers Can't Get Enough Of

Aldi has built a loyal following by offering quality products at fair prices. This might seem like some boilerplate marketing jargon, but it's true. I've written about the chain's most adored breads, best and worst cheeses, meats, and pantry staples, and what I've noticed is a genuine desire to satisfy, surprise, and impress. Each section of the store, though minimally designed and warehouse-like, is loaded with intriguing products that make every shopping trip feel a bit like a treasure hunt.

And the candy aisle is no different. Aldi carries a vast array of chocolates, ranging from premium and seasonal to cost-effective and reliable. Across the board, customers say that the products sold under the supermarket's Choceur and Moser Roth brands are as good (or better) than other major name brands. Shoppers are so passionate about the subject that there's an entire online sub-community dedicated to debating, comparing, and discussing favorite varieties and flavors. I sifted through these conversations to uncover which products — bars and chocolate-coated snacks — stood above the rest. There were a lot of options to choose from, but based on reviews and comments, these are the Aldi chocolates that customers truly can't get enough of.

Chocolate and pretzel is a classic pairing — a blissful balance of salty and sweet, smooth and crunchy, and toasty and creamy. The Choceur Milk Chocolate Bar with Salted Pretzel Pieces from Aldi takes this equation to new extremes, with a bar that looks like it's equal parts pretzel and chocolate. And this ratio has customers swooning, with many calling it the best chocolate bar available at Aldi. The only drawback is that, because it's so well balanced, it's tough to keep yourself from eating the whole thing in one sitting.

One Redditor said it best: "The only thing wrong with it is that whenever I open one, it's gone within the hour." On Facebook, people share similar struggles, with one user commenting that she was only going to eat a little piece but "ended up eating it all before I got home so I wouldn't have to share!" It's popular, for sure, and one item that Aldi has problems keeping on the shelves. That being said, customers do have an issue with the bar's sturdiness, noting that it's sometimes broken when you open the package, likely an unfortunate side effect of so many pretzel pieces. But, like any problem, Reddit has a solution, with one person suggesting to use the pieces to make the ultimate s'more.

Everyone has their taste preferences, but the true chocolate snobs typically like their bars dark, bitter, and milk-free. And on these fronts, the Moser Roth 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar delivers. Ironically, what customers appreciate about this chocolate bar is its lack of sweetness, with one Facebook user going as far as to label it "diabetic-friendly." Now, I can't comment on this bar's impact on blood sugar, but I can say that it only contains 3 grams of added sugar per one-bar serving, which is less than half of the Moser Roth 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate.

Because of its lower sugar content and tannic cocoa-forward taste, the general consensus online is that one of the individually wrapped bars can be a "sweet indulgence" for health-conscious consumers. However, if the bitterness is too much, a popular workaround mentioned online is to pair the chocolate with a spoonful of peanut butter or to eat it alongside fresh strawberries. Another person commented that they use it to add a deep cocoa flavor to their homemade chocolate chunk cookies. Another indicator of chocolate fandom is that shoppers aren't afraid to hoard the bars, with a few of them saying that they need a square or two every night. Now, that's my kind of nightcap.

For customers who find the Moser Roth 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bar a bit too intense, there's the Moser Roth Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. This chocolate has a lighter, more balanced profile, pairing a backend sweetness with toothsome chunks of sea salt. The sweet salinity is a winning duo with customers. One Aldi loyalist who no longer lives near the supermarket had their daughter send them a care package with bars of this chocolate. Redditors echo the feelings, with one user saying that she and her husband go through a bar every few days, while another user asked, "Is it even a trip to Aldi if you don't grab one of these?"

On Facebook, the fact that the Moser Roth bars are individually wrapped is a major plus, with one customer acknowledging it as "an attempt at portion control." As with most Aldi chocolate, shoppers are impressed with the quality and value of this bar, routinely comparing the Moser Roth chocolates to other, typically more expensive, name brands, like Lindt. People adore the chocolate so much that they — albeit playfully — try to keep them a secret from fellow shoppers. Who am I to judge? All is fair in love and chocolate.

Pairing complementary flavors is the foundation of gastronomy. Chocolate is typically matched with ingredients that accent present tasting notes or are contrasting enough to bring balance and harmony to each bite. Because it's so complexly layered, chocolate can tango with dozens of different dance partners, from stone fruits and seed butters to coffee and red wine.

The Moser Roth Dark Chili Chocolate Bar introduces a new taste profile that's not typically found in your average supermarket chocolate bar: spice. Chocolate and chile are a classic pairing because the cocoa butter subdues the pepper's natural bite. A burst of controlled spice helps wake up the palate, letting you enjoy the chocolate's subtler notes and flavors. Aldi customers appreciate the surprising contrast of sweet and heat and generally pleasant flavor of this bar, and plenty of Facebook users share their love for it online. But beyond being a tasty treat, this particular bar can be added to different recipes. One Facebook user said they put a few squares into their chili, while another noted that it would also be a smart addition to their mole.

On message boards and online forums, Aldi regulars voice a deep appreciation for the store's chocolate, but a handful of varieties have earned a special reverence. And the Choceur Peppermint Crème Dark Chocolate is one of them. So what makes it so special? First, it's a seasonal release that only appears around the holidays, and this manufactured scarcity creates a purchasing frenzy when it hits the shelves. And when it comes to taste, online reviews are consistently terrific, with commenters saying the creamy peppermint filling is amazing, awesome, and delicious, especially when paired with the dark chocolate.

But the biggest compliment shoppers bestow upon this bar is that it's better than pricier name brands, with one Redditor saying it's a dupe of Ritter Sport Peppermint, just cheaper and more accessible. The only gripe customers have with this one is that, because the flavor is only available for a limited time, they never feel like they buy enough of them. And even when you do find a few, it's difficult to control your intake. "I tried to hide it from myself. ..amazingly, I always find it," one cheeky Facebook user posted. A better idea might be to store a few in the freezer, which not only adds to the overall taste experience, but may help you ration your stash. Out of sight, out of mouth.

When discussing the holy grails of Aldi's chocolate aisle, one would be remiss not to acknowledge the godfather of goodies: the Choceur Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. If you're unfamiliar, you may be thinking: Can these taste much better than your average peanut butter cup? Well, just hop on Facebook or Reddit, and you'll find out. One thread starts with a Redditor saying, "You guys weren't kidding about the peanut butter cups...."

There's no denying that customers are particularly passionate about this product, and that emotion is on full display when comparing it to a Reese's, with people saying that "they're just so smooth and creamy and no bitter aftertaste from the peanut butter" and that they "blow Reese's out of the water." Aldi regulars will even go out of their way to introduce these peanut butter cups to their friends just to prove a point.

Other comments suggest putting these in the freezer or fridge, which, as one Redditor says, makes them even better. However, like most of Aldi's chocolate, people say these are simply too good to resist, with one Facebook user lamenting that they made themselves sick from eating too many.

This is a relative newcomer to the Aldi chocolate lineup. Because of its size and overall heftiness, as well as its similar look, taste, and commitment to ethical sourcing practices, the Choceur Choco Changer brand of chocolate is often compared to Tony's Chocolonely. And although the packaging is different, customers are convinced that the two brands share the same manufacturer.

Now, the Choceur Choco Changer comes in three different flavors, but Aldi shoppers are particularly fond of the milk chocolate with nougat honeycomb and sea salt. And "fond" may be underselling it, with reactions online ranging from "the honeycomb one was [sooo] good" to "best chocolate ever."

The combination of thick, quality milk chocolate and sweet, salty, crunchy mix-ins is what makes it so delicious. The nougat honeycomb is crisp and sweet, with subtle notes of burnt honey and caramel. When paired with sea salt, it creates a satisfying flavor harmony that makes this bar easy to devour. The one quality that people flagged is that pre-cut grooves designed to help you portion the chocolate are a little all over the place.

What do you get when you create the ideal balance of chocolate, almonds, and coconut? Almond Joy! The answer we were actually looking for was Aldi's Choceur Dark Chocolate Covered Coconut Almonds. These delightfully crunchy bites are an Aldi's favorite and come draped in a blend of dark chocolate and finely diced coconut. People will even give them as Christmas gifts.

But don't take my word for it. Customer reactions on Facebook paint a much clearer picture, with shoppers saying things like the almonds are one of their favorite products. "The dark-coconut-chocolate-almonds are my jam...so much so that I can't even buy them," said one shopper. Some even call them "disappearing almonds since they don't stay around the house too long. One Redditor takes it to another level, saying "it should be illegal how good these are." The unique flavor combination sets these apart from your run-of-the-mill chocolate-covered nuts, making these good for parties, dessert spreads, or, as another person put it, helping them make it through the work day. 

I know — the Simply Nature Dark Chocolate Covered Freeze Dried Banana isn't a chocolate bar, but it's chocolate-adjacent and a huge hit among Aldi regulars. As one customer poetically describes them, "They are a smooth dark chocolate, the texture both crunchy and melty in your mouth with an after-finish of the finest banana." Again, this product is all about balance, not filling your mouth with sweet on sweet. The dark chocolate is sugary yet bitter, and the banana has a mild tropical flavor that harmonizes with almost any dessert paired with it.

Most of the comments online say these are easy to eat, but one Facebook user had another take, admitting that the chocolate-covered freeze-dried bananas are so tasty that they "wished they never tried them." Although naturally shelf-stable, Aldi fans recommend refrigerating or freezing them, or pairing them with other goodies like yogurt or peanut butter. If bananas aren't exactly your favorite fruit, you can also find a bag of Chocolate-Covered Freeze-Dried Strawberries nearby— unless they're sold out, which seems to be a common theme for Aldi's chocolate.

Last but not least, rounding out our list of favorite Aldi chocolates, there's the Choceur Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels. These are as delicious as they are a danger to your dental work, with a few Facebook users noting that the chewy caramel is strong enough to pop out a filling. But the risk is well worth it, at least according to customers.

Online reviews about these chocolates are glowing. One person called the candies their kryptonite, while another said, "I can't buy them anymore. I sit like a rabid raccoon chomping them down." A third mentioned that they have to hide them in their office so they don't have to share. But it's one Redditor's reply that really drives the point home: "So delicious, found last week. Ate in 1 sitting."

You must be wondering what makes these caramel-filled chocolate chunks so unique. As with most Aldi's confections, the dark chocolate is top-notch — not too sweet but not too bitter — and the caramel itself is smooth and luscious, though it can get a little stale in older batches. Interestingly, it's the sea salt that gets the most attention. Some chocolates use a fine sprinkle and call it a day, but these are covered in huge, crunchy flakes, so much so that some customers find the salinity too intense. The solution? Brush it off — just like the most recent jab from your father-in-law.

I reviewed dozens of different Reddit threads, Facebook groups, roundups, and other discussion boards to generate this list of the best Aldi chocolates. I looked for comments that praised the flavor and texture of certain Aldi-branded chocolates. 

I wanted to highlight a range of products, not just one variety of bar in multiple flavors, although this was, to a degree, inevitable. Unfortunately, I found that many fan favorites have been permanently retired, so I did my best to feature items that are available at Aldi as of the time of writing.
