Aldi fans are delighted after learning the budget supermarket quietly restocked Knoppers nut bars – a chocolatey, crispy wafer snack that thousands love.

Made with five layers of baked wafers, creamy milk filling, smooth hazelnut, crunchy roasted hazelnuts and a cocoa topping, the bars have achieved cult status in recent years.

But when they suddenly disappeared from shelves earlier this year, customers feared the worst.

Now, after months of speculation and online pleas for answers, the Knoppers bars are officially back – and the excitement is real.

One overjoyed shopper spotted the return and wasted no time in sharing the news online.

‘Guess who’s back. Straight in the trolley,’ they shared on Reddit.

Another fan admitted the bars are their guilty pleasure, confessing, ‘These are dangerous for me. They’re far too addictive, I can never stop at one.’

A third gushed, ‘It’s crazy how quickly I can demolish something so rich and indulgent. They’re so good.’

Meanwhile, one mum revealed her daughter had been hanging out for their return.

‘Yes! My daughter’s favourite. Guess who’s going to Aldi this afternoon,’ she said.

Another shopper summed up the mood for many, declaring, ‘Thank God. I thought they were gone forever.’

The return comes after weeks of frustrated customers complaining on social media about the snack’s mysterious disappearance.

One shopper had earlier asked, ‘Has anyone seen the amazing crispy wafer snack that is a Knopper? We buy it every week at Aldi but for the last few they haven’t been in stock.’

Others quickly chimed in, with one writing, ‘Love Knoppers. Noticed it was out of stock last time I was at Aldi also.’

Another added: ‘Hadn’t had them for a while so went to get some today and nothing but a hole in the shelf. Shame. Hopefully they return at some stage.’

The wave of comments shows just how much of a grip the sweet treat has on bargain hunters – many of whom treat Aldi snack runs with the same devotion as a weekly ritual.

And it’s not the first time Aldi has sent shoppers into a frenzy.

The supermarket has become a go-to for Australians looking for cheap but delicious snacks, with its own-brand knock-offs often rivaling – and sometimes outshining – more expensive international brands.

From Choceur chocolate that’s regularly compared to Milka, to its Jive bars (a dupe of Twix), Aldi has carved out a reputation for stocking premium-style treats at wallet-friendly prices.

For cost-conscious families, Aldi’s shelves are a treasure trove.

Many say they go in for milk and bread but walk out with a trolley full of European-style biscuits, budget-friendly lollies, and seasonal cult buys that sell out within hours.

Knoppers, with its crunchy-meets-creamy hazelnut layers, is firmly in that category.

But if history is anything to go by, Knoppers may not stick around for long.

When the product last hit shelves, shoppers reported stores selling out in hours, leaving disappointed customers staring at empty displays.

And with Aldi’s rotating ‘Special Buys’ often changing stock without warning, fans are already warning each other to ‘grab them while you can.’

For now, though, the sweet relief is enough – and Aldi lovers are savouring every bite of the long-awaited return.
