Aldi is selling a Toblerone Easter egg dupe that's nearly half the price - exact date you can buy in

ALDI has wowed excited shoppers after they dropped a brand-new Easter egg just in time for the big day.

The beloved supermarket has announced a Toblerone Easter egg dupe that tastes exactly the same as the Swiss chocolatier's version but costs nearly half the price.

The fantastic new chocolate treat has been called the Swiss Mountain Egg and according to Aldi it "tastes just like Toblerone".

Much like the classic bar of Toblerone, the egg is made up of silky Swiss milk chocolate packed with drizzles of honey and almond nougat pieces.

The delicious new addition to Easter comes in a beautifully packaged box and even includes four mini Mountain Bars inside that include the much-loved ridges of the classic Toblerone bars.

Even the egg draws a close resemblance to Toblerone bars as it features a number of raised bites - much like the official alternative egg.

And to make it even better it only costs £6.99 for the entire 240g egg and four extra bite-sized chocolates.

Making it an impressive 31 per cent cheaper than the £10 Toblerone equivalent being sold at other supermarkets such as Asda and Morrisons.

It is also a whopping 41 per cent cheaper than Ocado and Sainsbury's version.

But unfortunately chocolate lovers will be forced to dream about that first bite into the Swiss Mountain Egg for a little while longer.
