Here at Allrecipes, we’ve been singing Aldi’s praises for years. The German grocer is our one-stop shop for just about everything in the kitchen, from copycat kitchenware that transforms your home into a Crate & Barrel or Anthropologie catalog without breaking the bank to the affordable everyday groceries and exciting Aldi Finds.
We aren’t the only ones who recognize Aldi for having stellar products. Year after year, the grocery chain receives award recognition from customers and food editors alike—and, this year, Aldi had several signature products win a coveted Product of the Year category.
Product of the Year is “the world’s largest consumer-voted award for product innovation,” chosen by more than 40,000 U.S. consumers. In 2024, Aldi received four Product of the Year awards, and it has doubled its winnings this year. Here are the eight private-label Aldi products that consumers consider the best of 2025.
The Best Aldi Products of 2025, According to Shoppers
Best Better-For-You Snack: Savoritz Cheese Crisps
Allrecipes / Aldi
These Cheese Crisps are made with 100 percent real cheese and available in two flavors: Parmesan and Cheddar. The snack boasts 13 grams of protein per serving and is a favorite enjoyed alone, with your favorite dip, or atop salads.
Best Dessert: Specially Selected Premium Cookie Dough
Allrecipes / Aldi
Aldi’s ready-to-bake cookie dough bakes into cookies that are gooey on the inside with a crisp bite on the outside—just like Nestlé Toll House, but at a fraction of the price. The cookie dough is available in both a classic Chocolate Chip as well as a decadent Sea Salt Caramel, allowing you to have freshly baked cookies on the table in just 12 minutes.
Best Frozen Entree: Kirkwood Chicken Nuggets
Allrecipes / Aldi
Aldi’s frozen Kirkwood chicken entrées remain a fan-favorite among many customers, including our editors. We particularly love the signature “Red Bag” chicken filets and copycat Burger King Chicken Fries, but these nuggets have topped the Product of the Year list—and for good reason. Fans have called these chicken nuggets “the best frozen chicken product I have ever purchased,” saying they’re “as close to a Chick-fil-A nugget you can get when buying frozen.”
Best Fruit Snack: Simply Nature Chocolate Covered Freeze Dried Fruit
Allrecipes / Aldi
TruFru’s freeze-dried fruits have become a staple in many households, but Aldi’s Simply Nature version is just as delicious and even cheaper than the name-brand treat. The product freeze-dries real fruits, including strawberries and bananas, before coating them in sweet dark chocolate for a pantry snack that you’ll want to devour in one sitting.
Best Healthy Beverage: Summit Popz Prebiotic Sodas
Allrecipes / Aldi
Practically every brand has joined the better-for-you soda trend, and Aldi is no different. Aldi’s Summit Popz Prebiotic Sodas are available in four flavors, including Strawberry Lemon, Lemon Lime, Raspberry Rose, and Cherry Lime, at just $1.69 per can.
Each soda contains prebiotic fiber and apple cider vinegar to promote gut health, while providing the bubbly sensation of your favorite pop.
Best Meal Ingredient: Park Street Deli Pickle Chips
Allrecipes / Aldi
If you love fresh pickles, but don’t want to shell out nearly $10 for one jar, look no further than Aldi’s Park Street Deli Pickle Chips. The 32-fluid-ounce jars are found in Aldi’s deli section and feature freshly sliced cucumber chips submerged in a blend of water, salt, vinegar, and spices for just $3.55.
The pickle chips are available in two flavors, original Dill and Atomic Spicy—and our editors can vouch for just how tasty the ultra-spicy pickles are.
Best Seafood: Specially Selected Snow Crab Legs
Allrecipes / Aldi
Premium seafood doesn’t have to cost a fortune—and Aldi is proving that. The 24-ounce box sells for $19.79 and is filled with frozen crab legs that are sustainably wild-caught in the Northwest Atlantic. Its customer-loved Snow Crab Legs feed four straight from the freezer. Simply steam, boil, or bake the crab legs, and you’ll have a delicious meal in minutes.
Best Wine: Specially Selected Sparkling Brut Rose
Allrecipes / Aldi
A few years ago, Aldi began selling its own private label Specially Selected wine, all priced at $15 per bottle or less. The Sparkling Brut Rose is a seasonal offering that’s imported from France and offers a well-balanced, fresh finish that pairs well with any meal.
