ALDI delights customers with budget-friendly ‘dupe’ of popular snack:‘Perfect little treat’

ALDI’s limited-time ranges are known to delight customers with a variety of handpicked products, offering everything from gourmet treats to household essentials, all for a steal.

It seems that its current range of limited-time products is no exception. Once again, they riled up snack lovers with a new product hailed as a wallet-friendly alternative to a popular treat.


The Belmont Biscuit Co. Hazelnut Cremes ($3.99 for 200g), which can now be found on the shelves of ALDI stores, caused quite a stir among Australian snack enthusiasts.

Snack lovers said that these biscuits were not only easy on the purse but also on the palate, with a taste that many have claimed rivals the much-loved Nutella Biscuits ($6 for 193g) available at Coles and Woolworths.

Nutella biscuits, known for their signature crunchy exterior and smooth chocolate hazelnut spread centre, have become a snack staple in many households.

ALDI's Belmont Biscuit Co. Hazelnut Cremes offer an affordable alternative, providing the same satisfying combination of a crunchy biscuit and creamy hazelnut filling without breaking the bank.


The original Nutella biscuits boast Italian origins, while ALDI's version is manufactured in the United Kingdom.

However, for many consumers, the origin is less important than the taste and value for money.

Emily, a Melbourne-based snack reviewer who runs a snack reviewing page on social media, shared her excitement about the find.

‘This is just a community service announcement that ALDI has a Nutella biscuit dupe,’ she said, urging her followers to act fast as the biscuits are a limited-time offering.


The response from the public has been positive, with many ALDI shoppers echoing Emily's sentiments.

One commenter said, ‘Adding these to my stash for sure.’

A second added, ‘These are the best.’

‘Delicious,’ said a third.

Aussie cook Steph also reviewed the biscuit and said, ‘These hazelnut cremes are the perfect little treat.’

Enjoying chocolatey treats like this one can often come with a side of guilt, as many believe its rich taste clashes with health or dietary goals.

Why try to make out something is healthy when it’s not? And clearly not, when you look at the true list of Nutella ingredients. Just accept Nutella for the chocolatey treat it is! Have it on toast, croissant or crepes. It’s a good case of clever marketing that highlights the few positives — and says nothing about the bad things.
