A Review and Release History of Aldi Moser Roth, Choceur, Benton’s, Clancy’s, & Bake Shop Snacks, Cookies, Candy, & More

Note: Above room temperature, these already start to get very soft, flimsy, and nearly melt, especially the Truffle ones. Really, it becomes an awful experience! Be careful! Keep them cool!

That aside, what all of these have in common is the crunchy shell that nicely breaks apart when biting into a piece. It’s really nice and complements the soft inner textures.

Chocolate Creme: The entire bar has the same flavor, more or less. It’s a decently sweet dark chocolate bar with a soft ganache inside that crunchily breaks apart once you bite in; I love this texture, personally. The shell-to-filling ratio is also awesome, as neither seems too thick nor too thin. However, despite being sweet and having an amazing mouthfeel from the texture, there is a noticeable bitter dark cocoa flavor that, in my opinion, detracts from it all. I guess it just isn’t my thing, but it may be for you if you’re into dark chocolates.

Orange: A punchy, sweet, sticky, gooey orange center is cradled by a complementary dark chocolate shell. It reminds me of other chocolate orange-based candies, except I can’t say I’ve had one explicitly with orange-flavored goo. Both of these flavors here are nice, and even though the orange is punchy, it’s almost kind of refreshing in a way, especially with the dark chocolate.

Chocolate Delice Truffle: The shell is so creamy and soft, and when you bite in, it introduces you to an even creamier, soft ganache truffle layer. It’s a fairly sweet milk chocolate, and it indeed feels like you’re eating an extremely soft milk chocolate truffle in bar form. This is my favorite of the bunch!

White Chocolate Delice Truffle: Like its chocolate counterpart, it’s extremely creamy and has a soft center; however, it doesn’t feel as sweet. This comes across as a bit above semi-sweet with a genuine white chocolate flavor. Overall, more boring than I would have liked, it’s more or less just a decent white chocolate bar. Still, don’t get me wrong, it’s not terrible; I just expected more.

While I’m not sure of an exact release date, I found these at Aldi in April 2025, and at least according to the packaging, they may have been released around that time.

There are a few different truffles presented here, and for the most part, they have a lot of similarities. First, the shells seem a little harder and crunchier than other truffles, Lindt, for example; still, they feel premium, and it doesn’t detract from the experience. Lastly, the inside parts are made of a soft ganache.

In rapid-fire…

The chocolate truffle is soft and tastes like a moderately sweet chocolate with a soft ganache inside; pretty ordinary. Raspberry is reasonably sweet too, although I’m not sure if it’s exactly raspberry. It’s very creamy; in fact, I’d say that overall, it’s a light raspberry, but it’s mostly cream-tasting, which comes out nicely.

The strawberry ones are, despite being creamy like the others, also the most punchy. They sport a distinct, genuine strawberry rhubarb taste where the strawberry kind of just hits you with a sour note. Lemon is light like the raspberry, mostly creamy, which is nice because lemon is normally punchy, and this time, it takes a back row seat. Finally, caramel, like the chocolate truffle flavor, is pretty normal and is simply a lightly sweet caramel flavor.

Overall, a great combination of different flavors, mostly light and creamy.

Released February 2025 for the Easter season. Found at Aldi, April 2025.

What I like most about these isn’t the variety of flavors; it’s the texture. Thick, soft-crunchy shells with a super-soft ganache provide the inner, flavorful sweet filling.

Caramel macchiato–my favorite from the bunch! They provide a fairly sweet, milk chocolate taste with a light coffee flavoring as a side. It’s a good combination and doesn’t taste too artificial or fake; in fact, it’s quite pleasant, as the coffee part isn’t too strong or bitter—notably, it falls on its sugary sweet side.

The next interesting one is the passion fruit, and, well, it just isn’t my thing. It’s reasonably sweet, and there’s a fruity, creamy passion fruit taste. It sounds good, but just something about the passion fruit in this form and sweetness isn’t my thing. Perhaps the worst of the bunch, although it’s still decent.

Dark Chocolate is very typical. It’s sweet, dark, and a little bitter despite the sugar. It feels like around 70 percent dark chocolate. The inner filling and shell taste uniform.

Strawberry is decent, definitely a sugary strawberry that isn’t too candy-like. The shell provides some creaminess to the flavor. That’s really it!

I’m unsure of a release date for these, although they likely are only around for the spring season. Found at Aldi, April 2025.

The standout and unique truffle here is the Irish Coffee flavor. It’s definitely an Irish coffee flavoring with a very sweet and creamy taste. Really, they should make a whole box dedicated to just this one! It feels authentic and is quite enjoyable to savor. Interestingly, the center looks like chocolate but doesn’t at all taste like it!

As for the others, they’re all quite sweet, and as advertised for their flavor, I just feel like they’re kind of boring and too traditional: sweet vanilla, sweet chocolate, etc. Their sweetness levels are close to Russell Stover candies, but the big benefit is that they taste less artificial. Regardless, I especially like how thick the shells are, and with a thick, soft-solid ganache filling, it all feels premium and a cut above the rest in terms of the truffle market.

These came around February 26, 2025, although earlier year releases have been noted. Found at Aldi, March 2025.

A small box of a well-decorated, diverse number of Latin-based flavored chocolates. My personal favorite is the horchata, as it nails the flavor perfectly–well, they all do! These are honestly some of the most unique chocolates I’ve tasted. I also love how thick the truffle shell is with the super soft filling.

Likely first released in late April 2023 for Cinco de Mayo. Released again around the same time in 2024. Exclusive to Aldi. Found at Aldi, August 2024.

It’s so much more premium tasting and less sweet than your typical run-of-the-mill Russell Stover or Whitman truffles. The shells on these are thick, semi-sweet, and contain a sweet-tasting filling. Every part of it screams premium, and each truffle has a distinct, bold flavor. Also, they’re so cutely decorated!

Not sure when this Aldi Valentine’s exclusive was released. Found February 2024 at Aldi.

From lightly sweet dark chocolate to the sweet white chocolate truffles, these all taste premium. Each one has a thick shell with a soft filling. For the price, these taste so much more premium than they let on.

Not sure when these were released, although this brand is produced by Storck for Aldi stores. Found at Aldi, November 2023.

Each of these is annoyingly individually wrapped and is troublesome to peel off the foil. They’re all hard-shelled milk chocolate balls that have a semi-soft hazelnut-flavored center that’s reminiscent of Nutella but not as sweet.
