Shoppers are rushing to Aldi Australia to get their hands on a stash of American chocolate, lollies, snacks and sauces. 

The German-owned supermarket chain released the selection across stores last week in the 'Special Buys' middle aisle. 

Maraya, who runs the 'Stuff Mums Like' website, stumbled across the snacks and posted a series of images on Facebook. 

'It's American food week at Aldi! So many fun treats to try. It would be so fun to do an American treat night with your kids so they can try stuff they've only seen in books and on TV,' she wrote. 

'I got some Hershey's kisses to use with the elves (some forward planning).'

Customers can buy Reese's, Twinkies, Pop Tarts, Jelly Belly lollies, Twizzlers, Butterfinger chocolate bars, Baby Ruth chocolate bars, Hershey's Cookies n Creme chocolate and pretzels, Junior Caramels, Milk Duds, and a Smores Kit. 

There's also a variety of condiments on offer, including Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce, Jack Link's Beef Jerky, Stubb's Smokey Mesquite BBQ Sauce, French's Classic Yellow Mustard, and Frank's Red Hot Wings Buffalo Sauce. 

Many were thrilled by the latest offering and were eager to visit their local Aldi to grab the treats.

'Need to go to Aldi tomorrow,' one wrote.  

'I need to buy some Twinkies, they were always advertised in comics when I was a kid and I have always wanted to try one,' another said. 

'Thank you for posting! This very quickly satisfied the request from my youngest son for s'mores for camping next week,' a third added.

But others weren't as enthusiastic because they aren't fans of American snacks.  

'Oh Lordy, that Hershey chocolate is so nasty, not even edible in my honest opinion. Haigh's for the win,' one said. 

'Hershey's chocolate is a total disappointment for Brits - it honestly tastes like the cheap cooking chocolate used for baking. Was so unimpressed when I first tried it in NYC,' another wrote. 

A third said: 'Wouldn't buy any American lollies for children the crap and all the dyes they put in them are very bad for you.'

Another claimed The Reject Shop sells US snacks all year round. 

Last month Aldi released a range of UK snacks which sent shoppers into a spin. 

Natalia, from Sydney, stumbled across the products on a recent shop and was in utter disbelief.

'I'm actually going to cry,' she said in a video while holding up a packet of Smith's Prawn Cocktail chips, a sub-brand of Walkers.

'My parents are in England at the moment and they're bringing back some packets.. now I have more which I'm so happy about.'

Natalia was also ecstatic about the cheese and pickles, and Worcestershire sauce flavour chips. Customers can also get their hands on bags of Galaxy Minstrels and Little Rolo chocolate.
