The Southern Grove Fluffer Nutter Trail Mix is a new offering from the ALDI private label brand that's crafted with the classic sandwich as the inspiration. The trail mix features a blend of honey roasted peanuts, roasted peanuts, peanut drops, marshmallow-flavored chunks and marshmallow-filled peanut mini cups. These ingredients combine to achieve the signature flavor of a fluffernutter sandwich, which features marshmallow spread with peanut butter.
The Southern Grove Fluffer Nutter Trail Mix comes as part of the brand's continued foray into offering dessert-inspired versions of classic food items. The product will only be on offer at ALDI locations in the US in eight-ounce pouches for $4.89 with a short window of availability from October 1 to 7, 2025 to encourage shoppers to get it while they can.
