Eagle-eyed Aldi shoppers notice popular item mysteriously missing from shelves: 'Bitterly disappointed'
Fans of Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars recently shared their dismay about no longer being able to locate the popular item on shelves.
Sold in packs of 11 'mini' chocolate bars, one customer described the milk chocolate that features a luscious milk crème filling as as a 'Kinder replica'.
Taking to a Reddit thread dedicated to Aldi Australia, a woman wrote a concerned post under the heading: 'Please don't tell me they got rid of these?'
Sharing a product image of the Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars packet, she wrote: 'I feel like they suddenly disappeared from all stores – I've been buying them for years.'
'They're my number one guilty pleasure,' she added, alongside two 'sobbing' emojis.
Commenters quickly chimed in, adding that they too had also recently noticed the product's absence.
'Noooo! I was wondering why I couldn't find these anymore,' replied one commenter.
'They're discontinued. For now, they could come back,' read part of another reply.
'My mum will be bitterly disappointed. Think I shouldn't tell her so she has hope they come back,' added another.
But in positive news for chocolate-lovers, it seems chocolate's in-store disappearance is only 'temporary'.
An Aldi Australia spokesperson told FEMAIL that Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars have indeed been removed from shelves - but only for the time being.
'There has been a temporary disruption to the supply of the customer favourite Choceur Chocolate Milk Mini Bars,' the Aldi spokesperson explained.
'However shoppers can anticipate its return to shelves around the end of September.'
Savvy Aldi shoppers rightly predicted that the chocolate treat's discontinuation was unlikely to be a permanent move.
'Whilst they might not be in store now, doesn't mean they are gone forever. All comes down to the manufacture,' explained one reply.
Another responder, who appeared to have inside knowledge of the workings of Aldi stores, also shared a hot tip on where to find any remaining packs of the popular chocolate.
They wrote: 'When ambient items are discontinued and we need the space they take on the shelves for a new product, we put them elsewhere, usually the specials tables in the middle aisles food section or anywhere else in the store food Special Buys are placed. You might find some there.'
The upset comes after Aldi shoppers were left reeling after discovering another product from the Choceur range has been quietly discontinued.
One Aussie customer noticed the beloved Choceur White Chocolate Coconut Blocks were nowhere to be found.
The creamy, coconut-flavoured white chocolate has been a crowd pleaser for years, with cornflakes as one of its key ingredients for an extra crunch.
'Has this been discontinued? It's no longer on the website, and I haven't seen it in store. I've been wanting to try it for ages and now this happens,' a shopper wrote in a Reddit thread.
Many were distraught over the news, with one saying: 'This is a huge loss. My favourite chocolate.'
'My family were regular buyers of it. Easily the best Choceur by a margin. Unfortunately, we haven't seen it around for the past four to five months,' another shared.
'Screaming, crying, throwing up. Regretting not buying it when I had the chance to,' one added.
It's since been confirmed that the chocolate was discontinued in November 2024 - as the supermarket giant continues to diversify its product range to provide customers with variety.
Content creator Annie Knight previously shared her rave reviews when she taste tested the white chocolate coconut block.
'Are you joking? I think this is the best chocolate I've ever had,' she declared.
'This is a 10. I've been waiting to give out a 10 and I'm giving it to Aldi chocolate. Can you believe it? I don't think you can get any better than that.
'It's the best thing I've ever had in my life. This wins. This slaps.'

Australia news live: Albanese to announce antisemitism measures; Sydney's Australian Turf Club chair resigns
Update: Date: 2025-07-09T20:32:51.000Z Title: Content: Australian business groups are 'cautiously optimistic' a visit to China by Anthony Albanese will help normalise a fragile relationship with Beijing. The prime minister will travel to China on Saturday for a six-day visit of Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, where he will be accompanied by a delegation of Australian business leaders. Australia China Business Council president David Olsson said the relationship between the two nations has had an 'incomplete recovery' with a changing market in China. 'While everyone's cautiously optimistic, I think we all recognise that the relationship remains somewhat fragile, and that's why these regular government to government dialogues is just so important,' he said. We have to stop seeing risk and opportunity as opposites and the challenge for Australia generally, is to engage with China in a way that's both commercially smart and politically durable. 'We need to keep this relationship going. So we have to sit back and think very carefully about how we're going to manage the risks that we see in the world at the moment in a way that serves our national interests. Albanese will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang and Chairman Zhao Leji to discuss global and regional issues in addition to trade and tourism opportunities. Update: Date: 2025-07-09T20:32:51.000Z Title: Chair of Australian Turf Clubs resigns after failed Rosehill Racecourse sale Content: The chair of Sydney's Australian Turf Club has resigned after failing in his bid to sell off the Rosehill Racecourse for 25,000 new homes. Peter McGauran was appointed chair of the board in August 2022, with his term due to expire in early next year. He also serves as a senior advisor at advisory and investment firm, Bondi Partners. The New South Wales government had offered $5bn for the privately owned racecourse, which would have made a significant contribution towards its target of 337,000 new dwellings by 2029. But in May, it was soundly rejected by 7,860 ATC members who voted 56% to 44% against the sale. The premier, Chris Minns, said history would look back on McGauran 'as someone who wasn't afraid to take bold ideas to the table'. Peter had a big vision for Sydney and Rosehill and I'll always respect him for that. We'd love him to stay on, but Peter has elected to pass on the baton. He's been a gentleman throughout – even in the face of tough debates – and always acted with integrity. We need more people bowling up ideas and trying to get things done for the city, not less. I thank him for his service and wish him all the best for what comes next. Update: Date: 2025-07-09T20:32:51.000Z Title: - AAP Content: Laurie Daley feels he is 'most definitely' the right man to coach NSW in 2026 as the playing group insists the coach cannot be blamed for the Blues' State of Origin capitulation. While I was disappointed with the result, I think the players have had a really good campaign, we just didn't nail the moments. We've got to make sure we're better at that. I don't see any reason why that group can't (win it next year) ... no issues there, mate. The playing group rushed to Daley's defence after the loss. 'He wasn't the reason that we lost tonight. It was us as players,' said halfback Nathan Cleary. The 2025 Origin series slipped through the Blues' fingers on Wednesday night as a polished Queensland dominated their hosts for a 24-12 win at Accor Stadium. Catch up on the game with this report from the Guardian's Jack Snape: Update: Date: 2025-07-09T20:32:51.000Z Title: Welcome Content: Good morning and welcome to our live news blog. I'm Martin Farrer with the main talking points so far before Rafqa Touma steps up. Anthony Albanese is expected to front the media in Sydney later this morning along with his special envoy on antisemitism, Jillian Segal, to launch the government's new crackdown in the wake of a series of attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools and Jewish-owned businesses. We have more coming up. The chairman of Sydney's Australian Turf Club has resigned after his master plan to sell the Rosehill Racecourse to the NSW government for the building of 25,000 new homes was rejected by the club's members.

Jim Chalmers' admission about interest rate decisions
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has admitted he has no idea how his own departmental boss voted in the Reserve Bank's Tuesday board meeting that decided to deprive struggling Aussie borrowers of relief. The RBA's new monetary policy board voted six votes to three to leave the cash rate unchanged at 3.85 per cent - surprising financial markets, which had universally expected a cut. The government argues its changes to how the Reserve Bank decides interest rates make it more transparent, but the votes of individual board members are kept a secret, potentially making them faceless bureaucrats. Only three members are full-time employees of the federal government, including Reserve Bank Governor Michele Bullock, her deputy Andrew Hauser and Treasury secretary Jenny Wilkinson. The remaining six are part-time appointments drawn from academia and business, who collectively have the numbers to overpower the Reserve Bank's own permanent staff members who sit on the monetary policy board. They include former Coca-Cola Amatil chief executive Alison Watkins, who still sits on the boards of CSL Limited and Wesfarmers as a non-executive director. Chalmers has admitted he had no idea how Wilkinson voted, despite her representing his Treasury department and the views of the elected government. 'First of all, no. I don't know who voted in which way,' he said. 'Secondly, I don't discuss the Treasury Secretary's vote. And thirdly, I'm not aware of how Secretary Wilkinson voted on this occasion.' The Reserve Bank has, for the first time, published the vote of the new monetary policy board. But unlike the US Federal Reserve, the RBA doesn't say how each board member voted. Despite that, Chalmers argued the Reserve Bank was now being transparent. 'Obviously, it will be a source of some interest that the Reserve Bank board was not unanimous on this occasion, that there were different views expressed around the boardroom table,' he said. 'We know that because of the publication of these unattributed votes, I think that transparency is a welcome change. 'I'm grateful to the Reserve Bank, and particularly to the Governor of the Reserve Bank, for the role that she has played in making sure that those decisions are more transparent.' Ms Bullock on Tuesday argued that keeping votes anonymous would allow more frank discussion, without board members being lobbied. 'Our agreement with the Treasurer is that we will - and that was the recommendation of the review; the reason it was recommended that it was an unattributed vote was that it would mean that people weren't subject to lobbying, it would mean that people could speak freely and I think that's a really important point,' she said. Chalmers argued a split view meant there was proper debate. 'We want these to be decisions which are taken after a lot of deliberation and debate,' he said. 'The fact that the Reserve Bank board was split on this occasion, that there wasn't a unanimous view, is a signal that these decisions are deliberated and debated properly and that's a good thing. 'We want to make sure that people can participate in these Reserve Bank meetings openly, that the public knows whether the decision was taken unanimously or otherwise.' But the establishment of a new RBA monetary policy board also means the six part-time members could potentially use their numbers to dismiss the views of Reserve Bank staff who specialize in economic modeling. 'It's a good thing to have people around the table that will tease out and contest the views, whether it's of the Reserve Bank staff or the Governor or others,' Chalmers said.
