Aldi Australia has performed a dramatic U-turn, delighting customers by reinstating a hugely popular chocolate bar just months after its quiet disappearance left shoppers 'devastated'.
Fan Favourite Makes a Triumphant Return
The product in question is the Choceur Liviano Hazelnut Crème, a treat fervent fans claim is a dead ringer for the famous Kinder Bueno bar but available for a mere fraction of the price. The chocolate features crispy golden wafers, thinly coated in milk chocolate, which sandwich a light hazelnut and cocoa cream filling.
The exciting news first broke on Reddit, where an enthusiastic shopper announced to the community, 'They're back. This is not a drill. Hazelnut Livianos are back at Aldi.' This post sparked an immediate and ecstatic reaction from other users.
Shoppers Express Their Overwhelming Joy
The announcement was met with an outpouring of relief and happiness. One customer exclaimed, 'OMG, thank you! I've been desperate for these for so long.' The sentiment was echoed by another who dramatically revealed, 'This is the best day of my life.'
The joy was so infectious that one user commented, 'This is the best comment I have read in days, months even. Thank you,' while another simply stated, 'You have made my day.' The hype was so real that some even joked about the consequences, with one referencing The Simpsons: 'Don't make me run, I'm full of chocolate.'
Another shopper jokingly declared, 'I hate you so much for telling me this,' hinting at an imminent trip to Aldi to stock up. Those who had already managed to buy the returning product confirmed its quality, with one stating, 'Bought one the other day and I almost fell out of my chair.'
From Discontinuation Despair to Sweet Relief
The chocolate's comeback arrives just five months after shoppers first noticed its absence from shelves, sparking widespread concern. Back in late June, one worried customer said, 'For the last two weeks the Aldi Liviano Wafer Bars Hazelnut have been out of stock and today there isn't even a place for them on the shelf.'
They added, 'Sounds dramatic, I know, but I am practically addicted to these things at this point and I don't know what is happening. If they're discontinuing them I'll probably cry.' This feeling was shared by many, with another revealing, 'I'm so upset I'm fully addicted to them (too), no other sweet treat compares.' At the time, the situation looked bleak, with some concluding upon research that the product had indeed been axed, describing it as 'Very sad times. Distraught.'
The return of the Choceur Liviano Hazelnut Crème proves that customer passion can indeed influence retailers, turning a story of disappointment into one of sweet victory for dedicated Aldi shoppers.
