Author\u2019s note: I have no affiliation with <\/em>Aldi<\/em><\/a>, and I wasn\u2019t compensated in any way for this review.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar and spice and sucralose nice.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I thoroughly enjoyed this stuffing, but it gave me wicked stomach aches. It took me a while to realize it\u2019s possibly<\/em> the \u201csucralose\u201d artificial sweetener in the ingredients. Maybe. More about that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the \u201cSage & Onion\u201d flavor, although Aldi also sells a \u201cClassic Herbs & Spices\u201d version of this stuffing mix.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you can eat this without gastrointestinal distress (and you don\u2019t mind artificial sweeteners), it\u2019s well worth buying. The savory flavor is excellent, and I enjoyed the soft, sweet bread. It was quick and easy to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d describe the texture as fluffy and moist. The stuffing clumps together, but isn\u2019t overly gummy. The preparation instructions call for a half stick of butter, so the resulting taste is full of buttery joy. Butter makes everything<\/em> better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The stuffing manages to be verrrrry soft, without becoming too soggy. There are small pieces of soft onion \u2014 small enough that even onion haters won\u2019t be mad. I enjoyed the pieces of green herbs, even if I couldn\u2019t immediately identify what they were, exactly. Parsley, me thinks. Sparsely-parsley, but still parsley. The flavor is rich and satisfying \u2014 but much, much sweeter than typical stuffing mixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My dry mix was very fresh, with hard, crisp bread pieces. The spices and flavorings are pre-mixed into the crumbs, and mine also had fragments of dehydrated veggies (the box says they are onion, parsley, and celery \u2014 mystery solved!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I liked how the crust had been left on the bread pieces \u2014 it added more chew-able texture, and visually, it provided some nice brown contrast to the paler, soft Hawaiian bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cooking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to Cook<\/strong> Aldi Hawaiian Stuffing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The box included instructions for preparing this either in the microwave or stove top. I picked stove top. You\u2019ll need a half a stick of butter and some water, but that\u2019s it. It took less than 10 minutes from start to finish to prepare this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I found the cooked stuffing to be pretty durable. It holds up well to re-heating on the stove, or even baking in a pan, if you want it a little crisper. I saved leftovers in the refrigerator and microwaved them, which worked great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Nutrition<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nutrition Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The label says there are six servings per box of 180 calories each (after preparing with butter). I found this to be a pretty accurate number of servings. After cooking, each serving has 9 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein. There are only 5 grams of sugar per serving. More about that later!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price and Servings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I bought this Hawaiian Stuffing Mix at Aldi for $1.39. Per serving, it cost 23 cents \u2014 which is a bargain. The Aldi website categorized this as a \u201cSeasonal Product,\u201d so it isn\u2019t available all the time<\/em>. I found it in my local stores between October and December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
