ALDI is re-stocking shelves with a fan-favourite chocolate spread just in time for Pancake Day.
The Cadbury‘s treat is back at major supermarkets for the first time in four years.
Based on the chocolate maker’s popular Crunchie and Caramel bars, the sought-after spreads are being released in the run-up to Pancake Day on Tuesday, March 4.
The Cadbury’s Chocolate Caramel and Chocolate Crunchie flavoured spreads are highlighted in Aldi‘s ‘Special Buys’ leaflet, and will be in store from Thursday, February 20.
The 400g jars retail for £2.99 each, a massive price drop for fans who have been buying the jars in bulk on resell sites.
Six jars of Caramel Spread sold for a whopping £54.46 on Sunday (February 16) on eBay – just days before the popular spreads are due to hit Aldi’s shelves.
If past reviews are anything to go by, Cadbury’s Chocolate Caramel and Crunchie spreads which may steal the show this Pancake Day.
Shoppers on Iceland.com who bought the spreads in 2021 were left clamouring for more.
“This is the best spread ever! Can eat this stuff with a spoon. Soo yummy if you haven’t tried give it a go,” one wrote.
Another said: “I’ve never liked chocolate spread but this chocolate caramel spread is lush.”
Adding: “Makes a plain bread roll taste like a chocolate caramel hot cross bun.”
This spread is set to fly off of the shelves judging by the overwhelmingly positive reactions.

In other news for chocolate lovers, Nutella launched a one-of-a-kind baked good in Tesco stores.
The maker of the iconic chocolate and hazelnut spread launched a new doughnut for customers on February 12.
The floury baked good comes with a soft outer dough and is filled with Nutella spread.
Following the news of the launch fans have been sharing their excitement on social media.
One person said they were “running to Tesco” to try the delight, while a second said they “ate two this morning” and they tasted “so good”.
A third person jokingly asked: “Why do they release things like this when I’m on a diet”.
But customers keen to try the snack will have to head to their local Tesco bakery in order to give it a try.
The UK’s biggest grocery store has a bakery section at most of its supermarkets, where they sell baked goods such as bread and cakes.
Tesco is charging £2.65 for a two pack of the treat.
It follows the launch of Nutella muffins which began being sold in Tesco’s stores last year for the same price.
