Since they were shared over 1,000 people have liked the post, and customers seem keen to snap them up. They're already proving pretty popular.

One person said: "They are amazing but not been in stock at my Aldi past two times I went." Another wrote: "Need these in my life, basket and belly,"

A third replied: "These are the best!!! I ate all 6. They are not for sharing!!! Make sure they come back next year!!!"
