Aldi's New Popcorn Flavor Tastes Just Like A Seasonal Dessert
If you frequently shop at Aldi, you know that the retailer doesn't hold back on seasonal goodies. For example, in the past few weeks alone, Aldi has added apple cider donut creme cookies and snickerdoodle dessert hummus to its shelves. But the most recent release might be one of our favorite products yet.
The item is pumpkin cheesecake drizzled caramel popcorn by the brand Specially Selected ... and it sounds so good. Aldi recently shared the snack on its official Instagram page, @aldiusa, and shoppers went wild. According to the product packaging, the treat consists of "caramel corn glazed with classic pumpkin pie spices and topped with a creamy cheesecake drizzle." Woah.
The popcorn is a limited-edition item that's only sold around this time of the year. As one Instagram user exclaimed, "The popcorn is back!" Another person commented, "This stuff is amazing. I just got it this week."

Other fall products at Aldi:
As mentioned, Aldi is on a roll with its autumn treats. The retailer is also offering the following goodies this season:
- Clancy's cinnamon & brown sugar sweet potato chips
- Tate's Bake Shop pumpkin spice cookies
- Simply Nature pumpkin spice fruit strips
We're especially curious about those fruit strips. Pumpkin spice truly knows no bounds!
How to make pumpkin cheesecake drizzled caramel popcorn at home:
If you're unable to find the product at Aldi, you can try creating a similar snack at home.
Simply toss caramel popcorn with pumpkin spice, then drizzle melted white chocolate on top. The white chocolate will offer a similar flavor to cheesecake drizzle. It's also more ideal for a snack like popcorn, as homemade cheesecake drizzle would need to be refrigerated.
