Harry Specters' premium chocolate on Aldi's Next Big Thing

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.

    “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.” -
