Aldi shoppers empty shelves for £3.49 snack that tastes 'unreal'

Aldi shoppers are emptying shelves for a £3.49 snack that tastes "unreal".

The Wao Mochi Balls have proved a huge hit with customers with 7.6m sold last year. Aldi currently sells five flavours - the most of any UK supermarket.

Aldi launched two new flavours earlier this year. The cheesecake mochi balls, feature a creamy vanilla ice cream filling wrapped around a sweet strawberry sauce centre. The Wao caramel mochi balls combine smooth caramel ice cream with a gooey sauce centre.

The supermarket also sells a coconut flavour, as well as vegan flavours mango and tropical. Best of all, the £3.49 snacks are 30% cheaper than the Little Moons equivalent.

Taking to Twitter, one user tweeted Aldi: "Oh @AldiUK ….what have you done? My Mochi obsession continues to grow." Another user, Katie, added: " Aldi Mochi is unreal."

Meg Brough said: "I am obsessed with @AldiUK cheesecake mochi. Unbelievable, Jeff." David added: "@AldiUK Aldi Frozen Cheesecake Mochi are the absolute bomb by the way. The Ice Cream, the rice coating, the sauce in the middle… if you haven’t tried them, I just feel bad for you…"

Caroline said: "Cheesecake Mochi are so good from Aldi always a sell out in mine!" Eamonn Griffin said: "Aldi mochi for the snacking win."

Bobson said: "The Aldi near me finally had ice cream mochi in stock! I'll take em all thanks!" Mo Chuisle tweeted: "Bought mochi at Aldi and I fully understand the hype now." And even Aldi added: "We can destroy a box of Caramel Mochi faster than Pauline on Till 2 can scan your basket shop."
