AN ALDI worker has sent foodies into a frenzy after revealing the latest epic treat to land in stores.
Whether it’s ”irresistible” party treats scanning for just 99p or energy-saving tools going for a mere 59p, Aldi is the one discount retailer that always has something special in store.

And one of their most recent additions – a must if you love the viral Dubai chocolate – is no exception.
The sought-after bar features a creamy pistachio centre, inspired by Knafeh, a traditional Arabic dessert made from fine pastry and nuts.
It’s then wrapped in smooth milk chocolate for the ultimate indulgence.
Foodies and chocoholics on TikTok have been going mad for the bar, calling it “absolutely delicious” and “a must-buy”.
But now Aldi have given the viral trend a new twist – by turning it into scrumptious ice cream just in time for summer.
The epic news was shared on social media by one employee and TikToker @mrreminderoriginal, who gave the delicious buy the maximum of ”10/10” rating.
According to the staff member, the discount retailer launched the ice cream earlier this week, Monday, April 14.
But those wishing to give it a try themselves will have to be quick, as there’s limited stock, he warned.
Mr Reminder Original said in his video: ”Guys, you are not going to believe what is on sale tomorrow, Monday.
”Aldi have brought out the Dubai-style chocolate ice cream.
”I believe these are £3.99. But for me, £3.99 that is worth all day long.”
The worker went on: ”I think they have only sent a limited amount in, so guys, you are gonna have to run, not walk, to Aldi.”
‘Take my money’
Since being posted online, the short clip has already taken the platform by storm, winning the TikToker close to a whopping 330k views and over 300 comments at the time of writing.
Hundreds flooded to comments to tag their friends and family to let them know about the epic addition to the freezers – and needless to say, the ice cream has become a hit.

IF you can’t get your hands on the real deal, The Sun’s Tom Bryden has reviewed of some of the pistachio and chocolate offerings from the high street that don’t cost an arm and a leg.
Here he compares six rivals that come in at less than £10 a piece, and gives them scores out of five. Read more here.
J.D. Gross Dubai Style Chocolate £4.99, 122g, Lidl – 5/5
GREAT value for a bar that delivers the real Dubai chocolate flavour and in a size that won’t leave you feeling short changed.
The Middle Eastern-inspired packaging and golden foil wrapper add to the luxury feel.
Pistachio Chocolate Selector £5.45, 72g, Hotel Chocolat – 3/5
THOUGH not branded as a Dubai chocolate alternative, the Pistachio Chocolate Selector can certainly hold up as one.
The standout here is the chocolate coating which tasted the best of them all, though it slightly overpowered the pistachio centre.
Ombar Pistachio Cream £2.15 – 42g, Waitrose – 3/5
”Take my money,” joked one viewer, as over 400 others gave the comment a like.
Another cried: ”naaaa once it goes on social media next thing it all sells out.
”just let people go there let them find out for themselves at least we all will get a chance to get one.”
Someone else begged: ”Everyone please stop rushing I want to get one.”
”I went In this morning first thing and got it and it’s amazing,” a customer loved the sweet treat.
But despite the hype, one foodie left a negative review, writing: ”only 2% pistachio paste, i don’t like it.”
