The season of pumpkin spice is something that a lot of people look forward to, and I am not an exception. As soon as the temperature begins to drop, I can not wait to get my hands on a pumpkin spice latte and bake some delicious pumpkin goodies.
My favorite seasonal sweets, on the other hand, do not make their debut until after Halloween has passed and the pumpkin decorations have been put away.
In spite of the fact that the weather has been abnormally warm up until lately, supermarket stores are already getting ready for the holidays by stocking their shelves with peppermint, which is my favorite flavor throughout the holiday season.
The much-loved peppermint bark sold at Costco has been brought back, the freezers of supermarkets are stocked with Haagen-Dazs peppermint ice cream bars, Pillsbury has introduced a new candy cane sugar cookie dough, and just this week, I found my favorite new seasonal treat at Aldi.
Aldi’s best cookies
It is always a fun surprise to take a stroll down the Aldi Finds aisle and see what alternatives that are kind to one’s wallet the store has in store for shopping.
Already, a great number of seasonal necessities have been introduced, such as an imitation of Le Creuset that is ideal for Thanksgiving casseroles and a facsimile of a traditional European Christmas dish that costs only six dollars.
This modest writer went right for a box of Benton’s Fudge Covered Peppermint Cremes when he went to the Aisle of Shame at Aldi, which is loaded with festive sweets and cookies. Instead of pausing for truffles, fudge, and nougats, he went directly for the box of this particular product.
Trader Joe’s is where I typically go to purchase the Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe-Joe’s in order to satisfy my craving for these delectable sweets throughout the entire year.
Because I have not yet seen them at TJ’s, I was overjoyed to discover that Aldi’s version was already available for purchase for a price of $3.49.
As the name suggests, the Fudge Covered Peppermint Cremes are exactly what they sound like: sandwich cookies in the manner of Oreos that are filled with sweet peppermint cream and are completely covered in rich dark chocolate.
Last but not least, they are topped with crushed peppermint candies, which impart a delicious crunch to each bite and add a touch of merriment to the overall experience.
I am not the only one who is looking forward to the fact that this festive treat will be back. According to the statement of one user on Reddit, “I enjoy peppermint season much more than pumpkin season.” One more commenter remarked, “These are incredible examples.”
My preference is to freeze them and then consume them once they have been chilled. On the other hand, a user on Reddit expressed concern, saying, “You will definitely get hooked on them and miss them when they are gone (well, at least until next year!)”
As of this year, Aldi has replaced its customary red box with a green one that has Christmas foliage; therefore, it is possibly necessary for you to keep an eye out for them.
As soon as you come across them, make sure to get a couple boxes because they are going to be gone in a hurry in no time!

If you are a devoted fan of Aldi like we are, then you are already aware of what all the excitement is about. However, if you have not yet joined the Aldi obsession, you may be missing out on something, so allow us to fill you in on the details.
New items are introduced by Aldi every Wednesday, which causes customers to hurry to their nearest stores to purchase them.
The Aldi Finds aisles are crammed with seasonal, limited-time, and specialized items (ranging from food to home decor, kitchen gadgets, and more), many of which soon become social media phenomena.
These items can be found in several categories. Some of the most popular themed food products available at Aldi are as follows:
These holiday-themed ice cream pops, sometimes known as reindeer ice cream, are quite adorable, do not you think? These charming marshmallow reindeer have a strawberry flavor, making them ideal for a classroom party or a movie night during the Christmas season.
In the event that you would rather have something different, Aldi also provides Christmas trees that have a vanilla flavor. These are likely to be a hit with the children, regardless of whatever option you choose. In stock beginning on November 20!
Apple Cider Donuts: When I tried these donuts with an autumnal flavor, the first thing that sprang to my mind was the breakfast that is served on Black Friday.

While they are still wonderful, these spiced doughnuts are the ideal treat to indulge in first thing in the morning. Come to Aldi as soon as possible because they are already available!
