A CHERISHED chocolate bar has been axed by Aldi, leaving its sweet-tooth customers shattered.
Speculation swirled over the future of the much-loved treat and its fate has now been confirmed by the supermarket chain.
The coconut flavour of the Dairyfine Spirals is no longer being stocked, Aldi has confirmed.
An Aldi spokesperson said: “We continually review our range of products to make sure we’re meeting the needs of Aldi shoppers.”
Fans had earlier this year grown fearful of the coconut bar’s demise in shops.
A post by Dani Norris in the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook group said: “Hey guys does anyone know if Aldi still sell the coconut spirals? Does anyone know anything similar if not?”
Lucy Kate replied: “I haven’t seen them in a while I love these! I think they are extremely popular.”
Tracy Rayner informed fellow Aldi shoppers that the product was out of stock, which received an angry react.
But while the supermarket has axed its coconut offering, it still offers chocolate and hazelnut varieties.
The alternatives have proved hits for some coconut customers.
On the same Facebook thread, Tracy Morgan said: “I haven’t seen the coconut ones for a while but I love the chocolate ones.”
Tracy added: “There’s a fairly recent new Knoppers coconut bar that’s really nice if you haven’t tried that one.”
Aldi offers the double chocolate Dairyfine Spirals bars online, with a seven pack selling for £1.89.
Customers can find a hazelnut version, too – also a seven pack for the same price.
The coconut flavour still claims a page on Aldi’s website, but bears the dreaded “out of stock” sign.
