‘Screaming, crying’: ALDI just axed this crowd-favourite sweet treat

If you’ve found yourself wandering the chocolate aisle, scanning the shelves in vain for that familiar white-and-coconut block, you’re not alone. 

ALDI has confirmed that the cult favourite quietly disappeared from stores last November, and the outcry has been nothing short of dramatic—think ‘screaming, crying, throwing up’ levels of disappointment, as one devastated shopper put it. 

It’s a sad day for sweet tooths and ALDI aficionados alike: the beloved Choceur Coconut Crunch has officially been discontinued, and fans are not taking the news lightly. 

For those who have never had the pleasure, Choceur Coconut Crunch is a dreamy combination of creamy white chocolate and toasted coconut flakes—a match made in confectionery heaven. 

Its sudden disappearance left many customers scratching their heads, and some only realised months later that it wasn’t just a temporary stock issue. 

‘Has this been discontinued? It’s no longer on the website, and I haven’t seen it in store. I’ve been wanting to try it for ages, and now this happens,’ lamented one hopeful shopper on social media. 

Another summed up the mood: ‘If so, this is a huge loss. My favourite chocolate.’

It’s not just nostalgia talking—Choceur Coconut Crunch had a loyal following, with families and chocoholics declaring it the best of the Choceur range by a country mile. 

But as is often the case with supermarket favourites, sometimes the treats we love most are the first to go. Whether it’s due to changing tastes, supply issues, or simply making room for new products, ALDI’s shelves constantly evolve.

But before you despair, there’s a silver lining: the Choceur range is still going strong, with a dizzying array of flavours to tempt your tastebuds. While Coconut Crunch is gone, you can still find Choceur White and Milk Coconut, which might fill the coconut-shaped hole in your heart. 

And if you’re feeling adventurous, ALDI’s ever-expanding chocolate selection means there’s always something new to try.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s currently on offer in the Choceur family: Milk, Dark, Fruit & Nut, Dark Hazelnut, Milk Hazelnut, Dark Almond, Milk Almond, Rum & Raisin, Dark Caramel Sea Salt, Caramel, and Dark Peppermint. 

For those who like to walk on the wild side, there are more unusual flavours like Crunchy Salted Caramel, Salted Pretzel, Coffee & Cream, Hazelnut Praline, and Peanut Butter. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot the elusive Milky Caramel at your local store—sometimes these gems don’t even make it onto the website!

For those who prefer their chocolate in smaller doses (or just want to try a bit of everything), ALDI also offers Choceur mini blocks in packs of five. The flavours include Marzipan, Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut Creme, Hazelnut, White, and Milk. At $4.99 for a 200g block or a pack of minis, it’s a treat that won’t break the bank.

And if you’re looking to jump on the latest chocolate trend, ALDI has you covered there, too. 

The new Hugos Pistachio Bombs, inspired by the Dubai chocolate craze, are hitting shelves from 25 June. 

These Australian-made morsels feature premium milk chocolate filled with creamy pistachio and crunchy knafeh. They promise a taste of global luxury without the hefty price tag—just $4.99 for a 100g packet, compared to $20 or more for imported versions.

So, while we bid a fond farewell to Choceur Coconut Crunch, there’s still plenty to get excited about in the ALDI chocolate aisle. Who knows—your new favourite might be waiting just around the corner.
