Just a week ago, shoppers around Australia were rushing into ALDI to snap up their new $5 Halloumi Fries - so popular that stores in the UK had to limit the product to two per customer.

Well it seems the budget supermarket has done it again, with the release of a NEW cult snack that will have you forgetting allllllll about Halloumi Fries.

Sea Salt and Truffle Chips have hit stores, leading hundreds of shoppers around the country to call the the best new ALDI snack of 2019.

The gourmet snack can sell for up to $20 in fancy restaurants and snacks, but ALDI are selling 600g bags for just $2.79. And just a day after hitting stores, reviewers around the country were taking to social media to praise them as ‘to die for.’

The Truffle Chips have also been given the huge tick of approval by the Aldi Lovers Australia Instagram, with many of their their 80,000 followers already rushing out to buy the snack.

‘I’m salivating!’ commented one. Said another: ‘Will definitely be buying again.’

We sampled the snack ourselves in the New Idea Test Kitchen last night and can absolutely give it the thumbs up - especially if you’re a truffle lover.

While the truffle scent can be quite overpowering - you can smell it through the bag before you’ve even cooked them! - they’re a lot more mellow when you taste them, and totally moorish.

Our only advice? Make sure you don’t overcook them as they can be a little dry.

Other that that, they’re definitely worth the $2.79 and would be perfect with a steak and salad. Yummmm!

Pick up a pack today!
