Deutsche Küche Hazelnut Biscuits Arrive at Aldi for German Week
This post is an open thread.
The cookies are one of my favorite parts of German week at Aldi. German week, which tends to come around twice a year, is when the German-based grocer features all kinds of limited-edition German and German-inspired foods ranging from schnitzel to strudel. In the cookie or biscuit category, you’ll often find spritz shortbread cookies (the coconut ones remind me of Girl Scout Samoas), large doppel kek sandwich cookies with cocoa cream filling, and petite doppelino sandwich biscuits in chocolate, lemon, and hazelnut flavors.
During the most recent German week at Aldi, I also found some intriguing hazelnut biscuits that look perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee. These feature crisp cookies with pretty floral designs that are filled with a hazelnut and cocoa cream. They’re a product of Germany, and they’re made with Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa.
Deutsche Küche Hazelnut Biscuits are an Aldi Find, which means they’re only in stores for a short time. Each store receives one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back during a future German week. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products that are sold out at your area store.
These cost $2.99 for a 6.07-ounce package at the time of writing. That’s about 49 cents per ounce. One bag contains six 2-piece servings, so that comes out to about 50 cents per serving.
A 2-piece serving has 150 calories, 7 grams of total fat (9% DV), 3 grams of saturated fat (15% DV), 55 mg of sodium (2% DV), 19 grams of total carbohydrates (7% DV), less than 1 gram of dietary fiber (3% DV), 10 grams of total sugars, 8 grams of added sugars (16% DV), and 2 grams of protein.
If you’re looking out for allergens, these contain wheat, milk, and tree nuts (hazelnut, coconut). They may contain soy, egg, and other tree nuts (almonds).
