The chain already has around 2,000 locations in three-quarters of the States, which means many more people are about to have access to Aldi products that have a cult following.

Instagram fan account @adventuresinaldi recently posted a photo of Aldi's pancake puffs, known as "Belgian gourmet bites."

Commenters were quick to chime in with their thoughts on the Aldi pancake find, calling them "delicious" and "YUMMY" for their "very light and fluffy" texture. The package comes with 36 pancakes, enough for a week of breakfasts at home, snacks in a kid's lunchbox, or a contribution to a potluck brunch.
