I enjoy snacks that are convenient, made with simple ingredients, and free from artificial flavors and excess sugar. These Love Corn Delicious Crunchy Corn Snack Packs from Costco check all the boxes—they contain just three ingredients, and they’re both gluten-free and vegan. I picked up a box to take on a camping trip and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them!
Location in Store
The Love Corn is located in the snack section at Costco, near the mixed nuts and the Golden Island Korean Barbecue Jerky. The item number is 1848539.
Taste
If you know you like Corn Nuts, you’ll like these. They’re a healthier version of Corn Nuts. They taste like a salted, very crunchy, hard kernel of corn. The flavor is kind of like unpopped popcorn kernels but a lot tastier.
These crunchy corn kernels are salty but not overly so and are quite addictive and unique! They’d be perfect on the patio with a cold drink on a summer night.
Cost
There are 21 individually sized bags in the 420-gram box, and the box costs $14.49 Canadian. Each bag weighs 20 grams and has a decent portion of crunchy corn!
Convenience
One bag is the perfect individually sized snack portion. The best-before date on the box is about 10 months from when I purchased them. The Love Corn is great on its own but also works well as a salad topping for some additional crunch. I wouldn’t offer Love Corn to young children due to it being a choking hazard.

Love Corn is low in calories, fat, and sodium, making it a healthier snack option compared to traditional chips or crackers. However, it’s relatively low in fiber and protein, so it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced snack or light meal.
Ingredients
I love how short and simple the ingredients list is! I do wish they used avocado oil instead of sunflower oil though. The Love Corn is gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free. It’s made in a facility that also processes tree nuts and peanuts.
