I recently bought several Aldi chocolate bars that are all similar to popular chocolate brands. The DairyFine Dreemy is basically a Milky Way, the DairyFine Racer is Snickers, the DairyFine Titan is a Mars Bar and the Belmont Caramel Wacko is a bit like Twix (although not quite - see below). These all come in multipacks of various sizes and value but they were all fairly cheap.
DairyFine Dreemy: These are described as lightly whipped nougat covered in milk chocolate. The nougat center has a darker, more caramel type color compared to a MilkyWay, but the flavor is very similar. It fact the Dreemy even has the same sweet malty aftertaste that Milky Way chocolate bars have. The outer chocolate is quite thick and has a good cocoa flavor to it as well. Overall these compare very favourable to a Milky Way and I would definitely buy them again.
RATING: 8 out of 10.INFO: £0.42p for a six pack. 100 calories per 22g bar.
DairyFine Titan: This one is described as a milk chocolate with soft nougat and caramel center. It looks and tastes very similar to a Mars bar. The caramel especially has a good flavor and the chocolate outer is generously portioned with a very thick layer and has a lovely creamy flavor. The only slight negative is that I did find the nougat a little bland and the whole thing is a bit too sweet for me. However, I would probably say the same thing about Mars bars so they're a decent enough replacement!
RATING: 7 out 10.INFO: £0.59p for a six pack. 172 calories per 38g bar.
DairyFine Racer: This is a soft nougat with roasted peanuts and caramel coated in milk chocolate. I much prefer a Snickers bar over a Mars bar any day - the slightly salty edge from the peanuts makes all the difference for me. I was happy to find that the Racer really does capture that delicious roasted peanut and caramel flavor of a Snickers. The nougat layer is quite thin here and there seems to be more caramel which I enjoyed. The chocolate is again very thick and creamy. Mr. Grocery Gems is a Snickers fan and he gave the Racer a thumbs up too.
RATING: 9 out of 10.INFO: £0.59p for a six pack. 185 calories per 38g bar.
Belmont Wacko: I actually meant to include the DairyFine Jive at this point as it's pretty much an exact match for Twix bars from Aldi (just a bit smaller). However, the Jive bars were all eaten before I could take a photo, which should probably tell you just how good they are. Instead, here are the Wacko chocolate biscuit bars with caramel. They're also delicious with a crunchy shortcake biscuit, thick caramel and creamy chocolate. It's obviously not as Twix-y as the Jive bar so I'll have to update this review at some point!
Rating: 8 out of 10.INFO: £0.89p for 9 biscuit bars. 102 calories per 21g biscuit bar.
Let me know if you've tried any of these bars in the comments below. I'd also love to hear from you if you've tried any of the other copycat Aldi bars such as the DairyFine Romeo (coconut bars that look similar to Bounty).
