Rich vanilla icing sandwiched in between two deliciously soft chocolate cookies — could a dessert get any better? Yes, it could. This Bake Shop find also features a generous ring of chocolate chips.

Chocolate lovers rejoice. This popular pick is one of Aldi’s top desserts for a reason. Shoppers adore the moist, indulgent cake topped with chocolatey chips. Serve the rich Bake Shop sweet with a refreshing scoop of vanilla ice cream, or top it with your favorite blend of berries.

3. Kitchen Sink Cookies

Prices: $2.95

These cookies have everything but the kitchen sink. A peanut butter base blends the salty and sweet flavors you crave. Chocolate chunks, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chunks, coconut, and pretzels add to the decadent mix.

If you want to take this bargain-buy baked good to the next level, layer Specially Selected’s lux chocolate peanut butter ice cream in between two of the cookies.

4. Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Price: $3.55

Muffins aren’t just for breakfast. While you can eat these minis for your morning meal, you can also add them to your dessert menu. The pint-sized treats aren’t just adorable — they’re also affordable. Compare Aldi’s low $3.55 to $4.19 for Target’s Favorite Day mini muffin 12-count pack.

5. Blueberry Muffins

Price: $3.95

This four-pack of blueberry muffins is a Bake Shop treat you can savor any time of the day. Pop a muffin into the microwave to make a warm breakfast treat, or slice one and add ice cream, a drizzle of honey, and raspberries to create your own deconstructed fruit cobbler for dessert.

These muffins are a steal at $3.95 for a four-count. Target sells the same size pack for $4.19.

6. Banana Nut Loaf Cake

Price: $3.89

A sweet fruit flavor and crunchy nut texture make this sliced loaf cake a winner. If you don’t have the time to bake banana bread, Aldi has you covered. The thick slices of moist cake are perfect for parties, brunch, or an everyday treat.

A drizzle of caramel sauce and a sliced fresh banana can turn the plain pieces into a gourmet-inspired dessert.

7. Raspberry Danish

Price: $3.45

The flaky baked crust, tangy raspberry filling, and drizzle of icing make this classic pastry a popular pick. Not only is it the perfect addition to your brunch or breakfast table, but you can also enjoy the sweet taste as an after-dinner dessert. Slice the 14-ounce Danish into bite-sized pieces to feed your whole family or several friends.

8. Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Price: $2.95

You can’t go wrong with soft-baked chocolate chunk cookies — especially at this price. For under $3, you’ll get 10 of these sweet treats. At Walmart, you’ll only get six of Marketside’s Decadent Chocolate Chunk Bakery Cookies for $4.98.

While this fan favorite doesn’t need anything extra, a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top wouldn’t hurt.

9. Chocolate Frosted Mini Donuts

Price: $3.15

A thick chocolate glaze gives these donuts a taste you won’t forget. If you don’t consider donuts a dessert, think again. Crumble the frosted bites into a sundae, sandwich one into a gourmet s’more, or use the mini rings to top a layered birthday cake.

The 14-ounce box of 28 donuts is a bargain compared to Target’s Favorite Day minis, which the big red bullseye retailer charges $3.89 for an 11-ounce pack.

10. Lemon Sliced Loaf Cake

Price: $3.89

This citrusy cousin of Aldi’s banana nut loaf is a fresh take on sliced cake. A zesty zip of lemons makes this foodie find the perfect treat on a hot end-of-summer day. Serve the loaf with a drizzle of vanilla icing, a scoop of sorbet, or fresh fruit.

11. Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

Price: $2.95

Skip the same oatmeal raisin cookies you’ve eaten for years, and try this updated cranberry version. The dried berries give these cookies an unexpectedly tart taste that balances out the sweetness. And, if you want everyone to think you baked your own treats, warm the dessert in the microwave before serving.

12. Banana Nut Muffins

Price: $3.95

Score four large banana nut muffins for $3.95 — less than one dollar per muffin. You won’t find this bargain-priced deal at a cafe, restaurant, or bakery chain. Some grocery stores charge almost $7 for a similarly sized pack of muffins.

Money tips that can work for everyone

No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
