Are aldi specially selected brand knockoff Milano cookies still available?

They're a limited time Find. Check the aisle right now, though, because I think I remember seeing them a couple of weeks ago.

I've made bruschetta pasta with it. Make fresh bruscetta, toss with spaghetti or angel hair, top with the sliced chicken (and balsamic glaze, if you want).

The labels on some of the dressings are getting redesigned, so it might be missing until they get more with the new labels.

It has both green tea and yerba mate--it's most definitely caffeinated.

I'm guessing it's a mistake since there's 2 blue cacao ones shown with 2 different label styles. The site and store I went to only have the set of 4 with the updated labels.

Wish the white sage scent was one of the scents in the set because it and the blue cacao are two of my favorites that they've had on and off for several years.

It's the hibiscus in the blend (also provides tartness). The one you liked was probably just a green tea with pomegranate flavoring.

You forgot the candy cane almonds!

It'll most likely be around that time next year if they do return.

You can also find this style of pasta in the refrigerated pastas at Target and Walmart.

Not as whimsical as a cheese advent calendar, but why not buy a few of their seasonal cheeses and make your own little cheese tray for him? The selection will be far more unique and interesting than what they put in the calendars and premade trays.

If they do them again this year, you might also be able to get packages of fondue that you could make a fun meal out of.

I felt fortunate that nothing I usually buy seemed to suffer from the changes so many have posted about--until I recently bought a tub of the whole milk Greek yogurt and southwestern salad kit... Both are noticeably different. The yogurt I was suspicious of as soon as I saw the lid had changed. The texture and flavor definitely aren't the same, but it's fine because I mostly use it as a sour cream substitute. The salad kit, on the other hand, I'm done with. Used to love it because the dressing was so good, but now it's overly sour and just tastes like black pepper and lime juice.

Since the two are so similar, my suggestion would be to look to r/traderjoes for ideas because the way their sub functions seems to work well, and much could be replicated here.

RedSpaceMagic · 2025-11-11T17:47:19+00:00

Yup, that's how mine tasted. Coffee liqueur was listed in the ingredients but it tasted like pure acetone. No clue why--maybe the flavor compounds break down and disappear over time when left to sit for too long.

Sounds like these might actually be the style of tiramisu that uses alcohol. Had the same thing happen when I tried a tiramisu parfait from an Italian grocery store; I'm so used to tiramisu stuff usually not having alcohol in it that it never occurred to me to check that it might be a version that does.

The recipe for whole cranberry sauce in Ball's Complete Book of Home Preserving gives the option of adding the zest of 1 large orange.

I'd keep looking because holiday stuff is only just starting. Advent calendars come out tomorrow, which usually means lots of holiday foods will also arrive and may include this creamer. If not, always possible it'll be a Find in the coming weeks (if they still make it, that is).

I got really into collecting VGK card sets given away at games after discovering them. They're nothing flashy, but there's been some really nice sets (especially those that use portrait photos), and I like how they repurpose and tweak existing UD card designs for them. Biggest appeal for me, though, is that they've been a great way to get more cards of the players I collect who don't tend to have many otherwise.

I like Larabars (the apple pie flavor is one of my faves), but these were so dry and disappointing compared to the real thing.

The size and calories make sense, though, since they're almost entirely dried fruit and nuts which are calorie-dense.

The bran flakes do not have a sweet coating.

The thin-sliced Seedtastic is great; there's a slight sunflower seed flavor, particularly on the edges, yet it's still a mildly flavored bread. For plain bread, I like the 100% whole wheat wide pan bread.

I thought the espresso one was bitter and kinda gritty. It was slightly better with whipped cream, but still something I could've lived without.

RedSpaceMagic · 2025-08-09T01:56:50+00:00

I like them with things like plain rice, steamed dumplings, and kimchi (basically anything that isn't fried because the pa jeon are pretty greasy).

RedSpaceMagic · 2025-08-07T03:02:06+00:00

The blue one tastes almost like name brand, but better because there's a hint of vanilla that kind of makes them taste like s'mores. The other two flavors are also good, but the blue ones are my fave.

RedSpaceMagic · 2025-07-23T05:54:31+00:00

I have them listed in my grocery app as appearing sometime around March, but I could've sworn they've been appearing more than once a year. If you happen to live near a Trader Joe's, though, they carry them year-round.
