In November 2022 we had the opportunity to take part in #AldisNextBigThing on Channel 4. As a luxury chocolatier with a cause, we’ve always cared deeply about our social mission: to create meaningful employment for young autistic people.
So, sharing our story on TV and being given the opportunity to sell our premium chocolates in the UK’s fourth-largest grocer is a huge milestone for us.
What Is Aldi’s Next Big Thing?
Aldi are on the hunt to discover new suppliers with the most exciting products. On Channel 4 up and coming British suppliers battle it out each Thursday at 8pm in a unique competition to become Aldi’s Next Big Thing.
Our Winning Product
What is it?
We have three winning bars making their way on to Aldi's shelves: Dark Orange Caramel, Milk Peanut Butter, and Milk Sea Salt Caramel.
These are three of our most popular award-winning flavours.
How it is made
All of our chocolate is made - mostly by hand - in our factory in Cambridgeshire by our amazing Autistic chocolatiers.
Our cocoa is ethically sourced, and we never use artificial ingredients.
Suporting Autistic Adults
For every £1 spent with us, 69p directly benefits Autstic people and their families through paid employement, free work experience, and training opportunities.

“Choosing between beer and chocolate was just too tough. The love and innovation that has gone into their products is just outstanding. They are both fantastic products and it just felt right to make both winners. Moments like this just really make me love my job. You could see how much it meant to both of them. And I’m confident our shoppers are going to enjoy these fantastic treats.” - Julie
