This light roast ground Aldi brand coffee will make your house smell delightfully like coffee and sweet caramel, but the actual coffee may leave you wanting more of that promised rich salted caramel flavor.

I tried this coffee in an electric coffee pot and in a pour over ( I know, classy). I drink it black with a dash of sugar and both times I couldn’t get the caramel flavor to stand out. It’s good coffee, just not good flavored coffee. It was nowhere near as bold as my go-to Hazelnut Barrisimo flavored coffee.

In my Aldi the wine is the first section I walk past and I always pick something up even though my wine palette is alarmingly unsophisticated. I’ll drink pretty much anything in a social situation but my home collection is mostly different flavors of Stella Rosa. I say all that to say the even with that context, this limited edition grapefruit flavored rosé was way too sweet for my blood. This beverage is sa-weet.

I don’t get much rosé  from it but it does tastes exactly like a grapfruit, down to that specific harsh aftertaste. I’m not a grapefruit person so I can’t say I enjoyed this. It may be good if you are looking for something wine cooler adjacent or this would be great for a mimosa mix in.

These little ice creams are one of my favorite Aldi products, they’re basically like ice cream sandwiches except 100% better.

The ice cream center is creamy and smooth with a light vanilla sweetness. The real star in this bite-sized dessert is the cookie. The soft chocolate cookies have a rich fudge-like flavor that pairs perfectly with the ice cream.

On the box they prominently advertise that these are 60 per serving calories and while that sounds good be warned … these cookies are small. They are about the size of an Oreo and it’s pretty easy to down two or three (or more) in one sitting.

The only downside is the packaging, the tray of cookies is wrapped in plastic and once you open it there is no way to seal them back up. I’d definitely have a freezer bag on hand to store these in.

I’ve seen them in stores recently, but they're a seasonal item so go grab it right now !
