Aldi shoppers are filling their baskets with £2.49 Cadbury ‘dupe’ to replace Easter favourite AXED from shelves
ALDI shoppers have gone wild for a Cadbury’s dupe – after a popular Easter goodie was axed.
The supermarket giant has rolled out new flavours of a creamy, chocolate treat and fans are racing to fill their trolleys.
Aldi’s Egg Joyables have hit the shelves again in three different mouth-watering varieties.
Chocolate lovers were thrilled to spot Cookies and Creme, Milk Creme and Choco Cream versions in their colourful boxes.
They come with four delicious eggs inside and are priced at £2.49.
The helpful information was posted on a Facebook group and quickly amassed plenty of likes, shares and comments.
One hailed the Easter indulgence and wrote: “Bet the kids would like these.”
“No way!!” penned another impressed shopper.
And a third wrote: “I love them.”
“If see these get me two boxes please,” another fan asked their pal.
Meanwhile one person posted: “We will have to settle with these”, seemingly in reference to Cadbury discontinuing the original chocolatey creme treats.
The Egg ‘n’ Spoons included four chocolate eggs in a carton filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse, with a special Oreo variety too.
But, Cadbury confirmed last year that the egg cartons which contained their spoon “have been discontinued to reflect our fans’ changing taste buds.”
The industry giant reconfirmed that the nostalgic Easter treat had been axed when one mother wrote of her son’s heartbreak.
She said: “My son is very nostalgic of the egg ‘n’ spoon chocolate eggs. As it is Easter, he wanted me to buy some. I have just found out that it is discontinued! Why? He says he is heartbroken. Kids’ taste buds do not change! A real shame!”
Cadbury commented on the post: “However, we have some great new treats to try this year!” These include a new Dairy Milk Half & Half Ultimate Easter egg and the new Creme Egg Bar.
Fans have called Cadbury’s discontinuation a “crime”, on X (formerly Twitter).
One user wrote: “This is the worst day of my life”, with another stating, “missing egg n spoon intensely right 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 n’ spoons.”
It comes as chocolate fans are racing to enter the chance to win an incredible “ultimate” Cadbury Easter egg worth £12.
It is free to take part in the competition and you only need to answer one question.
Plus, Aldi shoppers are also going wild for a new delicious dupe that they claim is even better than Cadbury’s.
Costing just £1.39, the chocolate bar appears to be modelled on Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations treat – but it’s 60p cheaper
And, chocoholics have been left drooling as a popular Easter goodie returned to supermarket shelves this week.
