A much-loved Aldi<\/a> crisp flavour<\/a> is now back on shelves after a 12-month hiatus – but you’ll need to be quick if you want to get your hands on a pack.<\/p>\n

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

In fact, this hybrid snack proved so popular that it was brought back again<\/a> the following year, with shoppers begging for them to become a permanent edition.<\/p>\n

And while that particular prayer remains unanswered, Aldi has now given the people what they want, dropping the flavour in middle aisles this week.<\/p>\n

Proving the strength of the demand, a Food Finds UK Official<\/a> Facebook post announcing their return racked up thousands of comments and likes.<\/p>\n

‘I wrote an email last month asking for them to bring them back,’ Joanne Dobson commented, while Lisa Black added: ‘Best things ever! I\u2019ve been waiting for them to come back.’<\/p>\n

At \u00a31.50, the crisps are described as ‘deliciously moreish’ with ‘the taste of smoky garlic, married with the hearty crunch of Aldi\u2019s premium Specially Selected crinkle cut style.’<\/p>\n

It seems many agree with the retailer’s assessment, including Emma Puddy who wrote: ‘These are a dangerous purchase as it’s so hard to stop eating them!’<\/p>\n

‘I can’t,’ added NicHola Ccampbell alongside a series of laughing emojis. ‘I eat the whole bag myself.’<\/p>\n
