Aldi's Ballycastle Smores Country Cream, priced at £7.49 for a 70cl bottle, is now available in stores.

This "decadent" tipple offers a "nostalgic blend" of rich chocolate and biscuit flavours, complemented by vanilla and fluffy marshmallow notes.

The supermarket suggested enjoying it neat over ice or as part of an indulgent "smores-tail".

The cream liqueur aims to transport grown-ups back to childhood bonfire nights, whilst providing a sophisticated alcoholic twist.

Beer enthusiasts can look forward to The Hop Foundry Toasted Marshmallow Stout, available from November 11.

Priced at £1.79 for a 440ml can, this unique brew offers a grown-up take on bonfire treats.

The stout offers smooth malt and hop flavours with a twist of toasted marshmallow undertones for a "slightly sweet but smooth stout".

Like its creamy counterpart, the stout aims to evoke memories of toasting marshmallows around the bonfire.

Both beverages demonstrate Aldi's innovative approach to seasonal offerings, providing adults with playful, nostalgia-infused options for their Bonfire Night celebrations.

Britons have already taken to social media to rejoice over one of the new additions.
