Weekends are my time to unwind and indulge in some of my favorite treats. ALDI’s “Specially Selected” line offers a variety of high-quality options that make my weekends a little more special. Here are six treats I always look forward to enjoying during my downtime.
Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels
These Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels are the ultimate weekend indulgence. The rich, velvety dark chocolate is perfectly complemented by a hint of sea salt, wrapping around a gooey caramel center that melts in your mouth. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty, making it a satisfying treat to savor slowly.
Available exclusively at ALDI, these caramels are a delightful way to treat yourself after a long week. They also make an excellent addition to a dessert platter when hosting friends for a relaxed weekend gathering. Every bite is a reminder that enjoying life’s little pleasures is essential.
Belgian Butter Almond Thins
The Belgian Butter Almond Thins are a crisp and buttery delight that I can’t resist. These thin, delicate cookies are made with real butter and feature a subtle almond flavor that adds just the right touch of nuttiness. Paired with a cup of coffee or tea, they are the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.
I love how these cookies crumble with every bite, leaving behind a taste that lingers long after the last morsel is gone. Whether I’m enjoying them solo or sharing with a friend, these almond thins never fail to brighten my weekends.
Sicilian Lemon Italian Style Panna Cotta
The Sicilian Lemon Italian Style Panna Cotta is my go-to dessert when I’m in the mood for something creamy and refreshing. This panna cotta has a smooth, velvety texture with a bright lemon flavor that adds a delightful zing. It’s a sophisticated dessert that’s surprisingly easy to enjoy, requiring no preparation on my part.
ALDI’s panna cotta is perfect for ending a meal on a high note without the fuss of traditional dessert preparation. Its elegant taste and presentation make it feel like a special weekend treat, every time.
French Brioche Braid with Chocolate Chips
The French Brioche Braid with Chocolate Chips is a weekend breakfast staple in my household. This rich, buttery bread is interwoven with sweet chocolate chips, creating a decadent treat that pairs perfectly with a morning coffee or hot chocolate.
The brioche braid is soft and fluffy, with the chocolate chips adding a delightful sweetness that isn’t overpowering. It’s one of those treats that feels indulgent but can be enjoyed guilt-free. Whether toasted or fresh from the package, it’s a delicious way to start a leisurely weekend morning.

For a comforting meal that feels gourmet, I turn to ALDI’s Gourmet Truffle Mac & Cheese. This dish is a rich blend of creamy cheese and the unique, earthy flavor of truffles. It’s a sophisticated twist on a classic comfort food that I enjoy indulging in over the weekend.
The mac and cheese is easy to prepare, making it ideal for a lazy Saturday night dinner. It’s hearty and satisfying, providing the perfect balance of flavors that makes you want to go back for seconds. It’s a delightful way to treat myself after a busy week.
Italian Blood Orange Gelato
To cap off my weekend, I often reach for the Italian Blood Orange Gelato. This creamy gelato offers a vibrant citrus flavor that’s both refreshing and invigorating. The blood orange provides a tangy sweetness that is perfectly balanced with the creamy gelato base.
ALDI’s gelato is a delightful way to enjoy a taste of Italy without leaving my home. It’s an ideal dessert for warm evenings or as a palate cleanser after a hearty meal. Each spoonful is a reminder of the simple joys that weekends bring.
