Aldi’s new £1.19 snack is ‘perfect autumn treat’

As summer gives way to autumn, a host of seasonal favourites are making a comeback on supermarket shelves, including themed cupcakes and toffee apples.

Alongside these autumnal treats, budget supermarket Aldi has introduced a new snack that’s already a hit with the kids – Ginger Parkins.

For £1.19, you can get a pack of six snacks from Peters Craft Bakery, which taste like a cross between a slice of parkin and a traditional ginger nut biscuit.

Manchester Evening News reporter Emma Gill, after sampling this new treat, said: “I bought some to try and my son is obsessed.”

She added: “He’s a big fan of ginger nuts, but likes the chewier consistency of these, which can be found in the bread aisle near the crumpets, bagels and packs of brioche.”

“They’re not the only Aldi snack to impress us lately either.

“Its Holly Lane Cookie Dough Mini Bites recently made a welcome return to stores, as part of a range that also includes Caramel Crispy and Bubble Mint Rocky Road Mini Bites.”

Emma added: “And its Dairyfine Blonde Chocolate, which tastes remarkably like the Cadbury favourite Caramilk, has also been a huge hit. At £1.39 for a 160g bar – and a Crispy Blonde version also available – they’ve been flying off the shelves.”
