ALDI shoppers are rushing to buy a dupe for a popular Cadbury’s dessert.
Dairyfine Pots of Choc, Aldi’s version of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Pots of Joy, are described as a “smooth and creamy dessert”.

One Aldi shopper posted a picture of the dessert on Facebook, which she said cost around £1.09-£1.19.
It comes in a large sharing pot, rather than the usual 60g portion sold by Cadbury’s.
According to the comments, the product is also sold in four-packs.
Although it is not currently listed on the supermarket chain’s website, Aldi’s line of Dairyfine desserts normally offers a cheaper alternative to Cadbury’s.
For example, four-packs of the Dairyfine Milk Chocolate Split Pot Desserts with chocolate buttons are on sale for £2.59 in Aldi – working out at £1.13 per 100g.
However, Cadbury’s version of the same dessert is on sale in Tesco for £1.15 for a single portion – working out at £1.53 per 100g.
It is the same price in Sainsbury’s.
Meanwhile, Pots of Joy four-packs are on sale for £2.70 in Tesco and £1.70 in Sainsbury’s.
The Facebook post was flooded with over 250 comments responding to the news.
One user said: “OMGGGG, YESSSS”.
Another suggested to a friend: “these will be nice when we go shopping, some strawberries dipped”.
A third said: “should’ve looked for this today”.
However, others were more sceptical, with one writing: “Rather pay the 1.50 they are most of time then them cheap things won’t taste good compared to the dairy milk”.
The news comes after shoppers also went wild for an updated version of Nestle’s strawberry-flavoured Aero.
Meanwhile, chocoholics were amused to discover that Terry’s had launched a new chocolate orange – without the orange.
And, Lindt’s new Tiramisu-flavoured Lindors went down a storm with Facebook users.
How to save money on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
