‘Please can you cover more white chocolate,’ lamented a reader, who confessed it was the only chocolate they liked. So in the line of duty, this is what I’ve been doing this week.
Friis-Holm is a Danish make. It has an unadorned white bar, but also two with unusual inclusions (as ‘things mixed in’ are called in the world of chocolate).
The one I tried was White Yuzu 40% (£12.95, 100g), which is a classy, smooth, clean-tasting white with dried Japanese citrus pieces. I really liked this bar, the yuzu cuts through the sweetness, but also provides nibbly bits.
Aldi’s four new scents include Cedar Firewood, Elderflower, Mango Mimosa, and White Almond and they’re already receiving rave reviews.
“I got 2 of the elderflower ones!” wrote an Aldi Favorite Finds commenter. “They smell really fresh and clean.”
“I got the mango mimosa – it’s so good!” raved @kattastic. “I bought it on Wednesday and went back on Thursday to get more and they were already sold out of every scent!”
“Loved them all this week!” wrote Aldi Dupes.
And if you’re curious how Aldi Favorite Finds feels about the scents, here’s how they described them:

Hot cocoa bombs entered our lives with a bang like no other. The chocolatey treat went viral on Tiktok during the holiday season and quickly proved they weren’t just another fad. Yep, they were here to stay. From the heart-shaped version for Valentine’s Day to the newly discovered tea bombs, we thought we had seen it all. Well, it turns out that what the trend was really missing was an adult friendly version: booze bombs. And yes, this will be the only way we’d like to drink boozy beverages from here on out. OK, hot cocoa bombs, you’ve done it again.
