Get Biscoff taste for less: ALDI's under $5 dupe has shoppers obsessed!
- Replies 2
In the world of sweet treats and pantry staples, there's a certain joy in discovering a product that matches the quality of a well-known brand and comes with a price tag that makes your wallet breathe a sigh of relief.
This is precisely the kind of joy that ALDI shoppers across Australia are experiencing when they discover an affordable alternative to the popular Biscoff spread.
The Cookie Penotti Speculoos Biscuit Spread, found nestled on the shelves of ALDI, is causing quite the stir among bargain hunters and connoisseurs of the sweet, caramelised delight that is Biscoff.
For those who may need to become more familiar with Biscoff, it is a brand of traditional Belgian biscuits with a unique caramelised flavour.
It is often enjoyed with coffee or turned into a creamy spread perfect for slathering on toast, dolloping on pancakes, or even incorporating it into various dessert recipes.
However, with the cost of living on the rise, every dollar saved is a victory, and ALDI's dupe for less than $5 is a win that's too sweet to pass up.
The Cookie Penotti Speculoos Biscuit Spread has been praised for its affordability and taste, which some shoppers claim surpasses the original Biscoff spread.
One ALDI fan took to social media to share their find, posting a photo of the spread with a price tag that will make any thrifty shopper's heart skip a beat.
'Soooo good! Only $4.50 or maybe $4.99 but still way cheaper than $7.50 for Biscoff spread at Woolies,' they exclaimed.
The enthusiasm didn't stop there. Other fans chimed in with their own experiences, including one who conducted the ultimate taste test with their children, the notoriously picky eaters.
The verdict? A resounding thumbs up, with the kids unable to distinguish it from the more expensive Biscoff spread.
'Mum, that’s Biscoff,' they declared, sealing the deal for the switch to ALDI's version.
Some shoppers even became hoarders of the delicious spread, stocking up on jars to ensure their pantry never runs dry.
‘It’s the original Biscoff. It’s so good I stocked up this week, haha,’ they said.
‘Oops, I ate the whole jar with a spoon in 30 hours.’ another responded.
For those counting calories, the Cookie Penotti Speculoos Biscuit Spread reportedly has a slightly lower calorie count than its branded counterpart.
‘It's actually really good! Little bit less calories than Biscoff too!’ he said.
Creative culinary minds have also found joy in experimenting with the spread, sharing recipes and ideas for incorporating it into decadent desserts.
‘Try making a Speculoos/Biscoff buttercream & using it for the icing on a lush chocolate cake/ cupcake. I put choc hail (Dutch week) on top of the icing, or you can drizzle with chic ganache. Omg good!’ the baker shared.
An ALDI worker educated those intrigued by the spread, noting that Speculoos has a history predating Biscoff.
‘Speculoos has been out way before Biscoff; it’s our Dutch spread, and if you like Biscoff biscuits, you will love our Speculoos biscuit in the tins at ALDI this week.’ they commented.
In a related story, Lotus Biscoff Ice Cream Sticks returned to Woolworths shelves earlier this year after being absent for a year.
Reintroduced in March 2023 for a limited time, the ice cream has gained a devoted following. Read more about it here.
