The $3 Aldi Chocolate Candy Shoppers Say Tastes Better Than Lindt

There's no denying that Aldi has some truly wonderful, high-quality products. Notably, Aldi also has a selection of dupes that are actually better (and cheaper) than their name-brand counterparts. One item that isn't on the list but that certainly qualifies for this category is the Moser-Roth Delice chocolate truffles (which are one of the German candies we think you should look out for when you're at Aldi).

This Moser-Roth product from Aldi — which costs just about three bucks — consists of chocolate spheres with a gooey, sweet, soft center. These truffles may remind you of another, more well-known brand: Lindt LINDOR truffles. It's likely that Aldi intended for these Moser Roth chocolates to be a stand-in for Lindt — and, according to Aldi shoppers, it was a success. In one Reddit thread, an Aldi customer posted a photo of two bags of the Moser-Roth Delice truffles (one bag of the milk chocolate and one bag of the 70% dark chocolate), writing, "If you see the Moser Roth truffles: Get Them. They're 100% better than Lindt truffles." Further, the original poster described doing a blind taste test of Moser-Roth versus Lindt — and they actually thought that the Moser Roth ones were Lindt because they tasted of higher quality.

In the comments, one person wrote, "I don't buy them anymore because I eat the whole bag." Another person said that they used to keep a jar of Lindt truffles but have switched to filling the jar with the Moser-Roth version instead. One commenter thinks that they're also "better than Ghirardelli," along with being better than Lindt.

If you're wondering if you should swap out your bag of Lindt Lindor truffles for a bag of the Moser-Roth variety, there are a few things you should know first. To start with, what flavors does the brand offer? There are a few different variations to choose from, including milk chocolate, white chocolate, and 70% cocoa dark chocolate. There's also a dark chocolate variety bag with three flavors (crispy hazelnut, cappuccino, and classic dark chocolate). Meanwhile, Lindt offers a wider variety of flavors – along with milk, dark, and white chocolate, there are also sea salt, birthday cake, tiramisu, and pistachio. There are enough options for us to put together a ranking of the nine best Lindor Lindt truffles. So, Lindor may have Moser-Roth beat on variety, but if you're someone who likes to stick to classic flavors, then you can't go wrong with choosing the latter.

Next, let's look at the price. As mentioned above, the Moser-Roth truffles will only cost you a few bucks. Online, each bag is priced at $3.29, while costing $2.99 in stores. On the other hand, a bag of Lindt truffles typically costs around 7 or 8 bucks. This is a significant price difference, especially if you end up buying multiple bags (which seems likely, given how much Aldi shoppers love the taste of these treats). For example, if you buy, say, three bags, that's a price difference of about 12 dollars versus 24.
