Aldi shoppers buy £2.49 Cadbury ‘dupe’ to replace AXED Easter favorite
ALDI shoppers have gone wild for a Cadbury’s dupe – after a popular Easter goodie was axed.
The supermarket giant has launched new flavors of a creamy chocolate treat and fans are rushing to fill their shopping carts.
Aldi’s Egg Joyables are back on the shelves in three different, delicious varieties.
Chocolate lovers were happy to see the Cookies and Creme, Milk Creme and Choco Cream versions in their colorful boxes.
They come with four delicious eggs and cost £2.49.
The useful information was posted on a Facebook group and quickly received many likes, shares and comments.
One praised the Easter treat, sharing: “I bet the kids would love this.”
“No way!!,” wrote another impressed shopper.
Someone else wrote: “I love them.”
“If you see these, please give me two boxes,” another fan asked his friend.
Meanwhile, someone posted: “We’ll have to settle for this,” in response to Cadbury discontinuing the original chocolate cream treats.
The Egg ‘n’ Spoons included four chocolate eggs in a box filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse, also with a special Oreo variant.
But Cadbury confirmed last year that the egg cartons containing their spoon “have been discontinued to reflect the changing taste buds of our fans.”
The industry giant reconfirmed that the nostalgic Easter treat had been axed when a mother wrote about her son’s heartbreak.
She said: “My son is very nostalgic for the chocolate eggs and spoons. Since it’s Easter, he wanted me to buy some. I just found out it has been discontinued! Why? He says he is heartbroken. Children’s taste buds don’t change! A real shame!”
Cadbury commented on the post: “We have some great new treats to try this year though!” These include a new Dairy Milk Half & Half Ultimate Easter egg and the new Creme Egg Bar.
Fans have called Cadbury’s shutdown on X (formerly Twitter) a “crime”.
One user wrote: “This is the worst day of my life”, while another said: “I miss egg and spoon intensely now, hope Cadbury knows what it has done to me”.
Another fan added: “My villain origin story will be the fact that Cadbury has discontinued their egg spoons.”
It comes as chocolate fans race for a chance to win an incredible “ultimate” Cadbury Easter egg worth £12.
Participating in the competition is free and you only have to answer one question.
Plus, Aldi shoppers are also going crazy for a new delicious dupe that they claim is even better than Cadbury’s.
The chocolate bar costs just £1.39 and appears to be modeled on Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Marvelous Creations treat, but it’s 60p cheaper
And chocoholics have been left drooling as a popular Easter treat returned to supermarket shelves this week.
