Eagle-eyed shoppers have noticed that a popular treat has recently disappeared from Aldi Australia stores.
Fans of Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars recently shared their dismay about no longer being able to locate the popular item on shelves.
Sold in packs of 11 ‘mini’ chocolate bars, one customer described the milk chocolate that features a luscious milk crème filling as as a ‘Kinder replica’.
Taking to a Reddit thread dedicated to Aldi Australia, a woman wrote a concerned post under the heading: ‘Please don’t tell me they got rid of these?’
Sharing a product image of the Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars packet, she wrote: ‘I feel like they suddenly disappeared from all stores – I’ve been buying them for years.’
‘They’re my number one guilty pleasure,’ she added, alongside two ‘sobbing’ emojis.
Commenters quickly chimed in, adding that they too had also recently noticed the product’s absence.
‘Noooo! I was wondering why I couldn’t find these anymore,’ replied one commenter.
Chocolate lovers lamented no longer being able to findChoceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars in store at Aldi. But a spokesperson for the supermarket assured FEMAIL that the product absence was only ‘temporary’
‘They’re discontinued. For now, they could come back,’ read part of another reply.
‘My mum will be bitterly disappointed. Think I shouldn’t tell her so she has hope they come back,’ added another.
But in positive news for chocolate-lovers, it seems chocolate’s in-store disappearance is only ‘temporary’.
An Aldi Australia spokesperson told FEMAIL that Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars have indeed been removed from shelves – but only for the time being.
‘There has been a temporary disruption to the supply of the customer favourite Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars,’ the Aldi spokesperson explained.
‘However shoppers can anticipate its return to shelves around the end of September.’
Savvy Aldi shoppers rightly predicted that the chocolate treat’s discontinuation was unlikely to be a permanent move.
‘Whilst they might not be in store now, doesn’t mean they are gone forever. All comes down to the manufacture,’ explained one reply.

Another responder, who appeared to have inside knowledge of the workings of Aldi stores, also shared a hot tip on where to find any remaining packs of the popular chocolate.
They wrote: ‘When ambient items are discontinued and we need the space they take on the shelves for a new product, we put them elsewhere, usually the specials tables in the middle aisles food section or anywhere else in the store food Special Buys are placed. You might find some there.’
The upset comes after Aldi shoppers were left reeling after discovering another product from the Choceur range has been quietly discontinued.
One Aussie customer noticed the beloved Choceur White Chocolate Coconut Blocks were nowhere to be found.
The creamy, coconut-flavoured white chocolate has been a crowd pleaser for years, with cornflakes as one of its key ingredients for an extra crunch.
‘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,’ a shopper wrote in a Reddit thread.
Many were distraught over the news, with one saying: ‘This is a huge loss. My favourite chocolate.’
‘My family were regular buyers of it. Easily the best Choceur by a margin. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen it around for the past four to five months,’ another shared.
Another Aldi chocolate in Choceur White Chocolate Coconut Blocks were also quietly pulled off shelves last year. Content creator Annie Knight previously shared her rave reviews when she taste tested the chocolate block
‘Screaming, crying, throwing up. Regretting not buying it when I had the chance to,’ one added.
It’s since been confirmed that the chocolate was discontinued in November 2024 – as the supermarket giant continues to diversify its product range to provide customers with variety.

‘Are you joking? I think this is the best chocolate I’ve ever had,’ she declared.
‘This is a 10. I’ve been waiting to give out a 10 and I’m giving it to Aldi chocolate. Can you believe it? I don’t think you can get any better than that.
‘It’s the best thing I’ve ever had in my life. This wins. This slaps.’
