Furious at this discovery, Gary Pauline took to social media to warn others, leaving many open-mouthed.
Post on Aldi UK shoppersa private Facebook group with 304,900 members, Gary shared a photo of the old Essentials chocolate bar next to the new one.
He also shared one get it of the ingredients of both bars, which now differ in the amount of cocoa.
Gary was clearly very annoyed and snapped: ‘Aldi is up to their old tricks.
“Surely the new chocolate should say ‘New Recipe’?
“30% to 27% and now with dried skimmed milk.”
Not only was he annoyed by the switch from whole milk powder to dried skimmed milk, but he was also unimpressed by the drop in cocoa from 30% to 27%.
In addition to the 3% cocoa drop, he then added: “By the way, it tastes awful, just like Kinnerton.
“Another one off the list.”
Gary’s post has clearly left many Facebook users open-mouthed, as it has quickly attracted responses from other equally frustrated Aldi shoppers and chocolate lovers.
One person said: “That’s a shame because their chocolate was cheap Nicemainly used it for baking, but I don’t use that anymore.”

A third commented: “They managed to make the taste even worse than it already was, that’s quite an achievement.”
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts?
If you’ve ever shopped at Aldi or Lidl, you’ve probably experienced the ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s fast reputation is no mistake. The supermarket even claims that its checkouts are 40 percent faster than those of the competition.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget retailer claims, helps keep costs down for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging ensure staff can scan items as quickly as possible, with most products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
Shelf-ready packaging is also used, keeping costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Alongside crying emojis, one foodie admitted: “Time to find a new chocolate for my ganache.”
A fourth annoyed chocolate lover claimed: “This is unreliable as it is now a different product but there is no mention of it being different.
“It should be clearly stated on the front or on a label that they have changed the recipe.”
At the same time, however, someone else tried to make light of the situation and joked: “Do you need the police number?”
