Aldi is often looking for someone to take on a quirky job role and now the supermarket wants to find a chocolate tester.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this could be the role for you – all you need to do is taste test Aldi’s chocolate, which you’ll receive for free, and review it.
The Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer role is open for applications now and the supermarket is looking for just one lucky winner.
The chosen recruit will be given a special selection of Aldi’s 2025 Easter chocolate to sample at home for free.
How to apply for chocolate tasting role at Aldi
Aldi will be matching each valid entry with an Easter Egg donation to charity partner and community giving platform, Neighbourly, who will deliver the surplus Easter products to those in need.
If you’d like to apply for the role, you will need to create a short audition video (approximately one minute long) and share it via the entry email address which is ChiefEasterEggOfficer@aldi.co.uk and explain why you should be chosen for the role.
You should include examples of your favourite Aldi chocolate as well as any sweet tips and tricks that might help you stand out from other applicants.
You can find further details and terms and conditions on the Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer web page.
Make sure to enter your videos by the deadline which is Thursday, April 3. The lucky applicant will receive their chocolate products to sample between April 7 and 14.
Last year, 5-year-old Levi from Cheshire was Aldi’s Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer.
He charmed the judges with a video entry featuring a song dedicated to his love of chocolate. Holding his favourite Aldi bar, he sang: “Do you have a sweet tooth? I do! I’ve had it since I was a boy!”
Levi loved last year's Danny The Dino Egg & Toy and scored it and impressive 34/40.
Following this, Aldi’s Buying Team expanded its popular Dairyfine Chocolate Pets (£3.99, 150g) range to include a new Mabel the Tabby Cat character, Dairyfine Chocolate Easter Egg and Plush Toy (£4.99, 55g) and Dairyfine Chocolate Easter Egg and Activity Book (£3.99, 62g) with puzzles, games and stickers of both Charlie the Labrador and Honey the Golden Retriever.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. The Chief Easter Egg Tasting Officer plays a vital role in ensuring our Easter range reflects shoppers' preferences, while also offering great value.

“Each of our Tasting Officers have shared valuable feedback on our Easter range and we look forward to hearing their thoughts!”
Steve Butterworth, Neighbourly CEO, added: “With many local charities facing increased demand and lower donations, any extra support they can get during the key calendar moments is always greatly appreciated.
“By donating these Easter Eggs, Aldi is helping to bring some joy to families this Easter and we’re proud to be working in partnership to ensure the donations reach the people who will benefit.”
