If you haven't been to an Aldi lately, I sincerely hope it's because there just isn't one nearby and it's not by choice, because Aldi has a lot going for it. Not only is it a great value, but the selection of snacks at the store is crazy good. Which is why I've rounded up my favorites to share. Whether you want a snack for morning, afternoon, or evening, something hot or cold, Aldi has a variety of munching options to choose from.
You'll find a lot of Clancy's brand chips at Aldi, including these guacamole- and salsa-flavored ones. Both pack an impressive crunch and legitimately taste like the dipping options they're modeled after.
These treats did not last long in my house. The coconut ones have a nonartificial coconut flavor to them and the sea salt ones are the perfect balance of salty and sweet.
You'll want to hide these from everyone else in the house — including your kids — because you'll want them all for yourself. This perfectly sized little snack is great to throw in your purse for later or munch on when you're in a hurry. Those cracker sticks are divine.
While these biscotti would make a fine breakfast pairing with tea or coffee, I'm a fan of grabbing them midday when I want something sweet and crunchy. The dark chocolate option is especially indulgent.
I can't decide which of these flavor options is the best, simply because they're all delicious. The french vanilla is very light, whereas the chocolate fudge and the chocolate hazelnut are much more indulgent.
The worst part about Girl Scout cookies is that you can't get them all the time. Thankfully, Aldi's answer is a top-notch option. These cookies taste just like Girl Scout ones, so you're guaranteed to eat the whole pack in one sitting.
Cheese-lovers, this one's for you. These gouda and emmental cheese bites are like Cheez-Its but on a whole other level. The rich cheese flavoring really comes through on these crunchy little snacks.
It's hard to match up to an Oreo, we know, but Benton's sandwich cookies are right on par. The vanilla cookies may be slightly more flavorful than the chocolate, but both are crunchy and creamy and delicious.
It's hard to go wrong with dried fruit, to be honest. Aldi's dried fruit is low in cost and high in flavor. The apricots are chewy and not leathery and are just the right amount of sweet.
Say hello to your new favorite chocolaty snack. Baker's Treat's Swiss Rolls are so creamy and have the smoothest chocolate flavor you could ever imagine. It's a good thing they come in a pack of two, because one is definitely not enough.
The only thing better than a Twinkie is a deep-fried Twinkie, and Aldi has your supply of them. Eat these ooey-gooey bad boys while they're hot and it'll be the highlight of your afternoon.
Whether you want to dip vegetables or chips, these hummus options are where you should be dipping. The Rosemary Sea Salt option packs a flavor punch, but the Jalapeno Lime is where it's at. The citrus cuts through the jalapeño nicely and gives you a creamy topping for your chips.
Love 'em or hate 'em, the frosted sugar cookies that you can find in many supermarkets are here to stay. Aldi's version is soft and buttery and might just be your new favorite.
Do yourself a favor and grab the Turtle Cheesecake on your next trip to Aldi. It's so fudgy and delicious that you might actually inhale it without meaning to. The caramel stays pretty solid, which makes for a candy-like topping.
The Express Mac microwaveable bowls are super simple to make and require just minutes and a little bit of water. The end product is good and cheesy and exactly what your afternoon needs.
