'I would not buy it again': Shoppers split about ALDI's latest sweet concoction

When it comes to satisfying a sweet tooth, ALDI is famous for a variety of treats that often become the talk of the town.

However, not all of these treats hit the sweet spot for everyone.

The supermarket's latest offering has caused a stir among shoppers, leading to a divided opinion on whether these snacks are a hit or a miss.


ALDI's Sweet Haven Mini Churros ($5.99) come in two flavours: apple cinnamon and cocoa hazelnut.

The fun-sized, ready-to-eat churro appealed to some shoppers, but the sweets may have left some customers wanting more.

A curious shopper shared about the quality of these churros on social media.

The post, which sparked a debate, revealed a clear preference for the apple-flavoured variant.

Some shoppers shared that the apple cinnamon variant was 'so good' while pointing out their disappointment over the serving size.

'The apple pie one was so yummy, just not enough in the box!' one person exclaimed.

On the other hand, the cocoa and hazelnut churros did not fare as well as its counterpart.


Several shoppers described the cocoa and hazelnut churros as 'bland'.

'The chocolate-filled ones need some sugar on them. They were pretty bland and not much chocolate in them,' a shopper shared.

'I wouldn't buy it again.'

However, creative shoppers shared their suggestions for serving to enhance the experience.

Some paired the churros with ice cream, while others rolled them in homemade cinnamon sugar.

'I heated them in the air fryer, then made up some cinnamon sugar to roll them in,' shared one shopper.

'I recommend some cinnamon and sugar at the end, plus you can dip them in more Nutella.'

Despite these efforts, some customers remained unimpressed.


Earlier this year, a shopper's review posted on social media described the churros as resembling a 'hairless chicken'.

The shopper suggested adding more cinnamon and sugar to improve its flavour.

'I'm not a fan. I'm going to give them a five out of 10, or a four. The outside is throwing me off; it's its texture.'

To counter this, a commenter recommended cooking the churros to enhance its flavour.

ALDI's mini churros have become a topic of contention.

While some shoppers are willing to give these snacks a second chance with a personal flair, others have decided that they're not worth the effort or the price tag.
