9 Aldi Chocolate Bars Shoppers Never Skip

You probably have your list of pantry staples you always buy at Aldi, but if you skip over the chocolate section, you're missing out on some of the best items in the store. Aldi carries a variety of specialty chocolate bars, including gourmet and fair trade varieties. To say these bars are beloved would be an understatement. Some shoppers credit the discount grocer's private label chocolate bars as their gateway purchase into the Aldi way of life. Once they tried Aldi chocolate, there was no going back. For Aldi diehards who are also chocoholics, these bars are just as much of a staple as bread, milk, and eggs. If their personal favorite bar sells out (which is common, since the chocolate is imported, affordable, and delicious), shoppers panic. I speak from experience because I'm one of these shoppers.

It's that trifecta that makes Aldi chocolate outshine even the fanciest bars: Aldi chocolate bars are imported from Europe — which many people prefer thanks to the higher content of both cocoa powder and cocoa butter for a richer, creamier chocolate experience — while also being some of the most affordable high-quality chocolate you can find anywhere. Whether you love a classic milk or dark chocolate bar or enjoy experimenting with interesting add-ins and trendy flavor fusions, Aldi has a chocolate bar for you.

Milk chocolate lovers say they can't live without Choceur Milk Chocolate Bars. If you're a Ritter Sport fan, Aldi shoppers say the Choceur Milk Chocolate Bar is a delicious dupe of the Alpine Milk Chocolate bar. The inclusion of real hazelnut spread sure seems to be an intentional imitation of the name brand, and it doesn't give the bar a nutty profile. Instead, fans say it's more of a subtle secret ingredient that takes these bars to the next level.

A newer addition to the Aldi chocolate section is Choceur's Choco Changer bars. Made in conjunction with Tony's Chocolonely's ethical cocoa sourcing initiative to promote better norms and practices in the cocoa industry, these are delicious chocolate bars you can feel good about purchasing. While shoppers have their personal favorite Choco Changer flavor, the Milk Chocolate with Nougat Honeycomb and Sea Salt is particularly popular, with buyers warning it's dangerously binge-worthy.
