Belmont Melting Moments

What is it?

Fragile shortbread rounds come sandwiched with vanilla buttercream, with the usual CWA-style shape and that pale, dusted finish. The biscuit base is built from butter, flour and sugar, so it stays crumbly rather than crisp, then gives way quickly once it hits your mouth. Sold under Aldi’s Belmont line, these sit alongside other classic biscuit packets rather than the brand’s filled creams or iced slices. They’re a packaged version of the competition biscuit you’d see at country shows, with two small, tender halves held together by a smooth sweet centre.
