Dream job alert for all chocolate lovers!

Ever dreamed of eating your bodyweight in chocolate for free? Now's your chance as Aldi is on the (Easter) hunt for a Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer.

The lucky recruit will receive FREE chocolate in exchange for views on the supermarket’s Easter products which will aid the buying team ahead of decision making for next year’s range.

Eleven-year-old Travis, who landed the role last year after expressing his ambition to become a chocolatier, claimed he loved Aldi’s blonde chocolate and wanted to see more of it in 2024. Aldi listened, and has this year launched the adorable Honey the Golden Retriever - an egg made entirely from blonde chocolate.

Whilst eight-year-old Anya praised the Dairyfine Sundae Eggs, scoring it a near perfect 39.5/40, helping to ensure a brand new and improved version, which includes a decadent mini doughnut and wafer, landed back on Aldi’s shelves for this year.
