Cotton candy grapes are the trendy sweet treat. Since they were launched on the market in 2011, they've captivated lovers of unique and sugary flavors. This type of grape has a taste that evokes sweet memories of fairs, where cotton candy is always the star.
Although several brands have tried to offer similar versions, Aldi's cotton candy grapes stand out for their affordable price. This has made them a popular option for those looking to enjoy this sweet with a special touch, without breaking their budget. Best of all: Aldi has managed to keep its status as a market leader.
The frozen grapes craze
The cotton candy grape trend has evolved in recent years. In 2021, TikTok users started experimenting with new ways to enjoy these grapes. One trick was to freeze them, either on their own or covered with sugar or flavored gelatin, turning them into a "nature's candy."
This technique quickly went viral on social media, which caused searches on how to prepare frozen grapes to increase exponentially. In 2023, Aldi didn't take long to join the trend and launched the first pre-frozen cotton candy grape product in the United States.
The return of a classic
Aldi's frozen cotton candy grapes have been a resounding success. Their popularity grew so much that a Reddit user shared their great experience with the product: "I opened a package in the parking lot and went back to buy two more." The grapes have been successful not only for their flavor, but also for how accessible they are compared to other similar options on the market.
This summer, Aldi has decided to bring back frozen cotton candy grapes to stores, but only for a limited time. Since August 13, the grapes have been available in the frozen section for just $3.69, and the grapes come from the Fresh Farms brand. The freezing process, which is done quickly and efficiently, ensures that the flavor is kept intact from the field to the freezer.
Since it's a limited product, don't be surprised if they sell out quickly. With so many cotton candy grape fans, it's likely that Aldi's shelves will be empty soon. If you want to enjoy this frozen sweet treat, we suggest you go as soon as possible to fill your freezer before they're gone.
