Get the rich taste of your favorite decadent dessert in a shelf-staple cluster. This sweet snack is a party-ready pantry pick perfect for the winter holidays. Tiramisu-flavored caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla cookie mounds make the six-ounce bag a treat your whole family will enjoy.

Fans are obsessed with the returning seasonal pick. Redditor greciamarzz raved, “I’m not a chocolate person, but these are delicious. My husband loved them so much, so I bought a backup to put in his stocking.”

Price: $6.69

This isn’t the same basic honey you’re used to. Made from the nectar of the acacia flower, this honey has a light color, smooth texture, and mild, almost-vanilla taste. Not only do you get 12 ounces of the golden goody, but this foodie find also comes with the honeycomb. And bonus, you can eat the crunchy comb too. Pair this pick with a cheese plate or drizzle the honey over oatmeal.

Even though $6.69 may seem like a high price for 12 ounces, it’s a steal compared to what specialty shops charge. The Savannah Bee Company sells the same size jar for $29.

Price: $5.45

Pass on pricey barista blends and try this sumptuous tropical-flavored seasonal coconut rum coffee at home. The limited-edition 100 percent Arabica Rainforest Alliance Certified grounds are a bargain for under $6. Drink it black or add a splash of Barissimo’s French Vanilla Coffee Creamer ($2.99).

Price: $6.05

Olive oil is a pantry staple that you can get for less. Use this EVOO to cook, bake, marinade, and more. At $6.05 for 16.9 ounces, Aldi’s price is a can’t-miss December deal. You’ll pay $10.79 for the same size bottle at Whole Foods Market.

Price: $1.85

Warm up on a cold December day with this pantry pick. The heart-healthy, low-sodium recipe features steamed veggies, noodles, low-cholesterol broth, and, of course, plenty of chicken. While the soup is low in fat, calories, and salt, with 15 grams per serving, it’s high in protein.

Target sells Campbell’s Chunky Healthy Request Chicken Noodle Soup for $2.19. You’ll save $0.34 on the same 18.6-ounce size of the Chef’s Cupboard Aldi store brand.

Price: $3.85

Celebrate the season with these festive almonds. The dark and white chocolate coating pairs perfectly with the crushed candy canes’ minty flavor. Pour the eight-ounce bag into a holiday-themed bowl and serve this sweet and salty snack at your next party.

Price: $2.99

Are you looking for a quick dinner idea? This subtly spicy heat-and-eat vegetarian option is ready in a minute and a half. Lentils give this pick a punch of protein, and pumpkin adds a seasonal flavor to savor. Serve it as-is, add braised tofu, or stir in extra veggies.

Price: $1.29

This classic side could take hours to make. But you don’t have to start from scratch. Save time and money with this boxed version. Idaho potatoes, decadent blue cheese sauce, and creamy cheddar make this savory selection an instant favorite.

These double-baked artisan crisps are packed with tart-dried cranberries, golden flax, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and pumpkin seeds. The tangy taste and bold texture make this gourmet goody a stand-alone snack.

But if you want to add extra flavor, serve the mouthwatering mini toats with Simply Nature Organic Hummus ($2.85), Emporium Selection Smoked Gruyere ($4.39), or Emporium Selection Honey Coat Cheese ($1.99).

Price: $2.99

Tired of the same strawberry jelly or grape jam? Swap out these staples for this sweet and zesty fruit spread. Snag the nine-ounce jar for less than $3 right now. Whole Foods Market sells Dalmatia Imports’ 8.5-ounce Organic Fig and Orange Spread container for $7.29.

Price: $3.09

Nutella fans rejoice. You can stock up and save on Aldi’s version of the chocolate and hazelnut spread. The Berryhill dupe is only $3.09 — but the brand-name buy costs $4.49 at Target.

Use the 13-ounce container to make sweet sandwiches for lunch, top holiday cookies with the cocoa-rich blend, or fold it into classic Christmas-time crepes.

Price: $4.39

Celebrate the season with these adorable (and affordable) Belgian hot chocolate stirrers. Perk up a holiday party beverage buffet with this set of three.

You’ll get three Beligium milk chocolate meltable spoons for $4.39 at Aldi, while just one snowflake-shaped hot cocoa spoon costs $4.95 at Crate and Barrel.

Price: $2.55

Traditional kettle corn just got a holiday makeover. Instead of the sweet and salty taste you expect, this budget-friendly Aldi store-brand buy has a refreshingly zippy peppermint flavor.

For $2.55, the five-ounce bag is a must-have deal. Thrive Market sells a slightly smaller 4.6-ounce size of Lesser Evil’s Chocolate Candy Cane Organic Popcorn for almost $1 more.

Price: $2.29

Mac and cheese isn’t just for kids. This grown-up version of the classic boxed meal has the rich taste of gourmet gouda. With zero added sugar and four grams of fat per serving, the 350-calorie pasta pick is a more nutritious alternative to greasy takeout. And as a bonus, it’s less expensive too.

The four-ounce box from Aldi’s store brand is only $2.29. Panera’s plain mac and cheese costs over $9 per bowl.

Price: $2.95

Start your day with this protein-packed pantry product. Add Friendly Farms chocolate non-dairy almond beverage ($2.65) or your favorite yogurt flavor to the sweet dark chocolate chunks and whole-grain oats. Looking for a healthier dessert topping? Sprinkle this granola over ice cream, cupcakes, or pumpkin pie.

Price: $3.29

Indulge your sweet tooth. Pantry products include more than everyday essentials. These Belgian cocoa-dusted truffles are a deliciously decadent holiday treat.

The returning item is a popular pick that Aldi shoppers praise. Redditor rwphx2016 posted, “These are the best truffles! Last year I only bought a couple boxes and they were gone. Thought Trader Joe’s brand would be as good, they weren’t.”

Pack your pantry with these can’t-miss deals from Aldi. Whether you’re prepping for a holiday party or just want to stock up on staples, these top buys are budget-friendly options that won’t break the bank.
