SHOPPERS are going mad for a dupe of M&S’ viral Easter munch mix being sold at a bargain supermarket chain.
Aldi has launched its own Easter munch mix for just £1.99 a bag and shoppers are saying its “delish”.

The mix has been compared to that in M&S’ Scrummy Bunny Munch Tin, which has sent shoppers wild.
The M&S original is a 460g tin filled with jelly-fied eggs, jelly carrots, white chocolate and raspberry popcorn, milk chocolate pretzels and more.
It’s currently being sold via Ocado for £10 a tin.
Meanwhile, the Aldi dupe comes in a convenient 175g bag and contains toffee flavour popcorn, salted pretzels and milk chocolate coated malt balls, as well as chocolate beans and eggs.
And the price works out at £1.14 per 100g, compared to £2.17 per 100g for the M&S original.
A fan of the Aldi dupe wrote on social media: “Loved this last week got another for this week.”
Another added: “Have to say loved it, sweet and savoury the best.”
A third added: “Should make these a regular thing they’re so moreish.”
Another shopper commented: “Had one last week sooooo good! Perfect blend of sweet and salted.”
Someone else added: “Highly recommend – finished off a packet in under five minutes last night.”
Aldi is not the only supermarket to launch its own version of the M&S treat.
Asda is currently selling an Easter Munch Mix at 200g for £2.50. The supermarket’s mix works out at £1.25 per 100g.
And it includes chocolate raisins, white chocolate buttons, milk chocolate eggs, salted pretzels and toffee popcorn.
Aldi has also been praised for its new range of kids’ Easter goodies, which includes mouth-watering surprises, from popping-candy to bubble tea pearls.
This year has also seen shoppers rave about a luxury flat Easter egg from Waitrose, made of white chocolate and caramelised sugar and biscuit spread.
An M&S loaded Easter Egg is stuffed with marshmallows and jelly has also delighted fans.
The half egg is filled to the brim with a mixture of crunchy, chewy and soft sensations made up of orange mini eggs, orange jelly and marshmallow.
And fans of the Easter munch mix can also find an Easter egg stuffed with it at M&S.
With Easter just around the corner The Sun has rounded up some of the best supermarket deals out there this week if you’re looking to buy eggs from Cadbury’s range.
The deals include huge discounts on the chocolate brand’s giant eggs.
Remember just because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Trolley.co.uk is a great tool for checking prices across the major supermarkets before you hit the aisles this Easter.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
