Aldi Millville crispy rice treats draw heavy customer criticism for smell, taste, texture, and ingredients. Shoppers report a garbage-like odor and a chemical aftertaste. The product lists many artificial additives, gelatin, various oils, and corn syrup instead of a simple butter-and-marshmallow recipe. Multiple commenters describe the bars as rock hard and oily. Some customers suggest microwaving the bars for about 30 seconds to soften them. Cheaper or preferable alternatives mentioned include Aldi's Fit & Active caramel corn rice cake and Walmart's Great Value Rice Krispies-style treat.
We looked at Reddit posts as well as Facebook forums from the Aldi Aisle of Shame to find what it is about the Aldi Millville crispy rice treats that's so abhorrent. Customers didn't hold back, criticizing everything from the taste and texture, to the smell and ingredients list of this Rice Krispies Treats dupe. To begin, one Redditor wrote, "they smell like literal garbage. Like actual trash in the dumpster." So, already we're off to a rough start. Another redditor responded, "they taste as bad as they smell."
One Reddit thread had a picture of the unusually long ingredients list full of artificial additives, gelatin, various oils, and corn syrup. So, the butter and marshmallow combo that usually goes into a rice crispy treat is nowhere to be found. Consequently, many Facebook posters noted a chemical aftertaste and described the texture as rock hard and oily.
On the Facebook forum, an Aldi customer recommends using the microwave to improve the hard texture of the crispy rice treats. She told fellow Facebookers to "pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds" and they'll taste fresher.
