So if you’re on a budget and can’t afford to break the bank on the expensive viral chocolate, you’ve come to the right place and won’t want to miss this.
Instead of the Dubai chocolate, which has been labelled as ‘Prime hysteria’ all over again after it is being sold in Sainsbury’s for £10 a bar, bargain hunters are now eager to get their hands on the latest flavour of Aldi’s own version of Belmont Jaffa Cakes.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
“We love them in our house.”
A third commented: “These are so nice.”
