I Love Aldi’s Bake Shop Desserts, but These 13 Treats Are Hands Down the Best

Indulge in decadent desserts without breaking the bank and stretch your Aldi budget further when you choose from the store's sweet selection of Bake Shop treats.

While we enjoy almost everything Aldi's bakery section has to offer, some of these bargain buys rise to the top. Whether you're planning a party or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth, these Bake Shop desserts are affordable options that combine quality and cost.

Rich vanilla icing sandwiched in between two deliciously soft cookies — could a dessert get any better?

Yes, it could. This Bake Shop find is made with ultra-soft chocolate chip cookies, but Aldi also offers seasonal options of the same concept. Like their Gingerbread Cookie Sandwiches during the holidays.

Create a cookie platter with these minis, add them to an ice cream sundae, or serve them chilled on a hot end-of-summer day.

Price: $5.19

Chocolate lovers rejoice. This popular pick is one of Aldi's top desserts for a reason. Shoppers adore the moist, indulgent cake topped with chocolatey chips. Serve the rich Bake Shop sweet with a refreshing scoop of vanilla ice cream, or top it with your favorite blend of berries.

Prices: $4.09

These cookies have everything but the kitchen sink. A peanut butter base blends the salty and sweet flavors you crave. Chocolate chunks, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chunks, coconut, and pretzels add to the decadent mix.

If you want to take this bargain-buy baked good to the next level, layer Specially Selected's lux chocolate peanut butter ice cream in between two of the cookies.

Price: $4.15

Muffins aren't just for breakfast. While you can eat these minis for your morning meal, you can also add them to your dessert menu. You can also find these little treats with chocolate chips if you're in the mood for something more dessert-like. 

Price: $4.35

Aldi also offers full-size muffins in a few different delicious flavors. This four-pack of Apple Cinnamon muffins is a Bake Shop treat you can savor any time of the day.

Pop a muffin into the microwave to make a warm breakfast treat, or slice one and add ice cream, a drizzle of honey, and raspberries to create your own deconstructed fruit cobbler for dessert. 

Price: $4.39

A sweet fruit flavor and crunchy nut texture make this sliced loaf cake a winner. If you don't have the time to bake banana bread, Aldi has you covered. The thick slices of moist cake are perfect for parties, brunch, or an everyday treat.

A drizzle of caramel sauce and a sliced fresh banana can turn the plain pieces into a gourmet-inspired dessert.

Price: $3.95

The flaky baked crust, tangy raspberry filling, and drizzle of icing make this classic pastry a popular pick. Not only is it the perfect addition to your brunch or breakfast table, but you can also enjoy the sweet taste as an after-dinner dessert. Slice the 14-ounce Danish into bite-sized pieces to feed your whole family or several friends.

Price: $4.09

You can't go wrong with soft-baked chocolate chunk cookies — especially at this price. For just over $4, you'll get 10 of these sweet treats. At Walmart, you'll only get six of Marketside's Decadent Chocolate Chunk Bakery Cookies for $4.98.

While this fan favorite doesn't need anything extra, a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top wouldn't hurt.

Price: $3.49

A thick chocolate glaze gives these donuts a taste you won't forget. If you don't consider donuts a dessert, think again. Crumble the frosted bites into a sundae, sandwich one into a gourmet s'more, or use the mini rings to top a layered birthday cake.

The 14-ounce box of 28 donuts is a bargain compared to Target's Favorite Day minis, which the big red bullseye retailer charges $3.89 for an 11-ounce pack.

Price: $4.39

This citrusy cousin of Aldi's banana nut loaf is a fresh take on sliced cake. A zesty zip of lemons makes this foodie find the perfect treat on a hot end-of-summer day. Serve the loaf with a drizzle of vanilla icing, a scoop of sorbet, or fresh fruit.

Price: $4.09

Skip the same oatmeal raisin cookies you've eaten for years, and try this updated cranberry version. The dried berries give these cookies an unexpectedly tart taste that balances out the sweetness. And, if you want everyone to think you baked your own treats, warm the dessert in the microwave before serving.

Price: $4.35

Score four large banana nut muffins for $3.95 — less than one dollar per muffin. You won't find this bargain-priced deal at a cafe, restaurant, or bakery chain. Some grocery stores charge almost $7 for a similarly sized pack of muffins.

Price: $3.95

Like the raspberry Danish, Aldi's cheese Danish is a breakfast dessert you can't miss. This pick is more than just tasty — it's also a major bargain. At Walmart, a similar box of cheese danish sells for $4.24, so make every penny count at Aldi.

Aldi's bakery aisle has everything from rich chocolate cakes to citrusy lemon loaf slices — and all at budget-friendly prices. So go ahead and indulge your craving for sugary sweets and treats.
