One enthusiastic member of the Aldi Mums group couldn’t believe she had only just discovered this gem.

"How I've not known about this earlier is beyond me, but now I do I'll never bother again with brownies from scratch!" she exclaimed. Her secret to making them the best brownies ever? Adding half a block of Cadbury Dairy Milk. This simple addition, she claims, takes the mix to a whole new level of decadence.

Another fan revealed that her husband makes the brownies all the time in their air fryer, achieving perfect results with every batch. The consistent praise for the mix was clear: "Perfect every single time," "These are legitimately the best brownie in existence," and "Yep, best ever" were just a few of the glowing endorsements.

One member even joked, "Ah no, my secret is out! Love this mix!"

Endless customisations

What really sets this brownie mix apart is the endless customisation options shared by group members.

One creative baker shared, "Everyone loves it when I make them with Ferrero Rocher, but I've also made them with Biscoff, Scotch Finger biscuits, mint slice biscuits, mini Lindt Easter eggs, whole Tim Tams... plus I've done coffee and roasted macadamia too." The possibilities seem endless, and each variation sounds more mouth-watering than the last.

Elevating the brownie mix

Others chimed in with their own pro tips, such as adding fresh raspberries on top before baking to cut through the sweetness or swirling in peanut butter and sprinkling salted peanuts for an extra layer of flavour. Suggestions for Nutella and walnuts were also popular among the group, proving that this brownie mix is a canvas for culinary creativity.

Despite all the delicious add-ins, some members prefer to stick to the basics.

"I only add what the packet says and they're delicious like that," one person noted. "But what people say they are adding might be good... it is very sweet and chocolatey so I don't believe extra is needed." The versatility of the mix means that whether you’re a purist or a mix-in enthusiast, you’re bound to end up with a delicious result.

With all the excitement surrounding this brownie mix, some members are hoping for more from Aldi.

"Wish they'd make a blondie mix," one member mused, echoing the sentiment of many who have fallen in love with the White Mill line and are eager to see what other sweet surprises Aldi has in store.
