Caramilk fans in a frenzy over Aldi’s new $1.99 version of the block

Budget-savvy Caramilk fans are in a frenzy over Aldi’s new caramalised white chocolate block which they claim is the ‘most delicious dupe yet’.

And at $1.99 the chocolate block is much cheaper than the original, which typically retails for $5, full price.

One happy customer posted a picture of the block on an Aldi fans Facebook Page calling it ‘creamy and delicious’.

‘It tastes just like real Cadbury but I think it is a limited run,’ one woman said.

While others said it wasn’t quite as good as ‘the real thing’ but worth buying/

‘Very close in taste. Slightly different texture (didn’t dissolve in the roof of my mouth as creamy), but pretty damn close for $1.99,’ one woman wrote.

Many fans said you can’t duplicate Caramilk

But not everyone was convinced.

‘I would prefer one block of real Caramilk to any dupe, no matter the price,’ one woman said.

Before adding: ‘And when I see it on a half-price special I grab ten.’ 

Others were disappointed that they’d missed out, with the block ‘sold out’ at some stores.

‘So bummed, none at my local Aldi so I checked the one near my partner’s house but none there either,’ one woman said.

While others fumed.

‘Aldi is always out of everything – you have to be in store the second it hits the shelf if it is any good,’ ranted one disappointed shopper.

The Caramilk copy is part of Aldi’s Rainforest Alliance range. Chocolates featuring the small green frog come from sustainable cocoa, with a share of the profits going to educate people in the industry about sustainable practices.
