Aldi is helping consumers stock up on comfort food with its new Clancy’s Birthday Popcorn.

Aldi is no stranger to innovative snack food combinations, having rolling out Clancy’s Dill Pickle Popcorn just weeks ago. Now the grocery store chain is offering a sweet and salty flavor combination. Clancy’s Birthday Cake Popcorn consists of birthday cake-flavor drizzled over kettle corn and topped with multicolored sprinkles. The result is bite sized pieces of popcorn that are bursting with cake flavor. The only problem is that Clancy’s Birthday Cake Popcorn is currently available as one of this week's Aldi Finds, which means this tasty snack won't stick around for long.

From cereal to coffee creamers, birthday cake is the hit flavor of the moment.
