Aldi’s ‘best ever’ limited edition crisp flavour is finally back in stores

A much-loved Aldi crisp flavour is now back on shelves — but you’ll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on a pack.

The supermarket’s Specially Selected Garlic Bread Crinkle Cut Crisps were first released in 2023, and despite only being available for a limited time, they garnered quite the fan base.

In fact, this hybrid snack proved so popular that it was brought back again both in 2024 and 2025, with shoppers begging for them to become a permanent edition.

And while that particular prayer remains unanswered, Aldi has now given the people what they want, dropping the flavour in stores nationwide this week.

At £1.15, the crisps are actually cheaper than they were last year, when they retailed at £1.50.

Aldi describes the snack as ‘moreish’ tasting like ‘smoky garlic and herb’ with ‘the satisfying crunch of Aldi’s premium Specially Selected crinkle cut style.’
It’s set to be exciting news for Aldi fans.

Last year, when a Food Finds UK Official Facebook post announced their return, it racked up thousands of comments and likes.

‘I wrote an email last month asking for them to bring them back,’ Joanne Dobson commented, while Lisa Black added: ‘Best things ever!

I’ve been waiting for them to come back.’
Emma Puddy who wrote: ‘These are a dangerous purchase as it’s so hard to stop eating them!’
‘I can’t,’ added NicHola Ccampbell alongside a series of laughing emojis.

‘I eat the whole bag myself.’
However, not everyone was convinced, as for some the crisp-bread hybrid is a controversial choice.

Val Oliver slammed garlic as ‘nasty smelly stuff’, while Clare Williams said: ‘Eww they look awful.’
Regardless of whether you’re in the ‘love’ or ‘hate’ camp though, of you want to try them, it’s best to get down to your local store sharpish.

Aldi’s garlic bread crisps are in stock now, but the supermarket warns that like all Specialbuys, ‘once they’re gone, they’re gone!’
Customers were jolted into action last week too, after Aldi announced it would be axing its beloved middle aisle on Instagram.

Many were shocked by the news – including one who said ‘I just nearly s**t myself’ – but it thankfully turned out to be an early April Fool’s Day prank, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing the bargains will continue.
