Aldi has released it’s Easter egg range for 2022 and as a self-confessed chocaholic, it had a lot to live up to.
From ice cream cone creations to vegan and gluten-free chocolate, I wanted to see which Aldi products are genuinely worth buying and whether the more luxurious, grand designs were good value.
I must place a disclaimer here, I am a big fan of simple eggs made with tasty, good quality chocolate.
For me, it isn’t about novelty designs, chocolate shards spiking out and the price tags to match.
So when I took a look at Aldi’s Easter selection, I decided my mission was to find an egg that looks great but tastes even better.
One product that really intrigued me was Dairyfine’s chocolate ice cream egg (£6.99) – a blonde chocolate and wafer cone topped with a milk chocolate scoop, finished with mini eggs and biscuit crumb, as well as a popping candy cone base.
Resembling the popular Cornetto ice cream, I was genuinely amazed by the attention to detail when I reached the end of the ‘cone’ and discovered chocolate-covered popping candy and milk chocolate.
It was a real treat to eat and I think I’d have been bouncing off the walls in joy (and maybe a sugar high) if I received this as a kid.
The one thing that really struck me about Aldi’s Easter egg offering was the effective use of recyclable materials, leaving you guilt-free when it comes to packaging. Not even the ice cream egg was covered in excess single-use plastic.
The cone tasted almost like Caramac – if that’s a sweet up your street, this is the ‘egg’ for you.
The different combinations of chocolate and salty biscuit crumbs sprinkled on top left my sweet tooth feeling more than satisfied.
With the chocolate ice cream egg, you really have a bit of everything and I think it’s a worthwhile purchase.
