One of the best things about having a Costco review blog is having an excuse to buy every treat in the store! Costco always has a great selection of salty snacks and sweet treats.
If you’re craving salt, the Kirkland Signature Kettle Brand Krinkle Cut Himalayan Salt Potato Chips and the Kirkland Signature Corn Chip Dippers are both fantastic. We usually keep a bag of each in the house and they’re always a hit with guests.
If you’re more of a chocolate fan, the Kirkland Signature Macadamia Clusters might be my favorite Costco item of all time, and the Kirkland Signature Dark Chocolate Covered Mangoes are pretty good too.
Cranberries and jalapeno peppers aren’t ingredients I would ever think to pair up, so I was intrigued when I spotted this Stonemill Kitchens Creamy Cranberry Jalapeno Dip at my local Costco. When I think of cranberries, I immediately think of Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I don’t normally think of jalapenos … Read more
I’m not a big pork rind person. To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ve ever had them before. I was curious to try these 4505 Chicharrones Pork Rinds, but I’ll admit that I went in with low expectations because I don’t find the idea of fried, packaged pork skin all that … Read more
Have you ever eaten a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and thought it would be even better if it was a bit more salty? If so, I have the perfect snack for you! This Hoody’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Mix takes the classic pairing of peanut butter and chocolate and adds some … Read more
When I spotted the Béquet Caramels in Costco on my trip to Montana this summer, I immediately thought that they looked delicious and I had to try them. Since they’re a local product (made in Montana), I’m not sure how widely available they are, so they might not be the best … Read more
I love Girl Scouts and Girl Guides cookies! Maybe it’s just the fact that they’re never around for long, but they always taste better than your typical packaged cookie to me. I was pretty excited when I saw these Edward Marc Girl Scouts Thin Mints Bites at Costco. Bringing the … Read more
It’s fall and that means pumpkin spice is everywhere! I found these Upper Crust Bakery Pumpkin Spice Bites on my last trip to Costco. They’re quite similar to the tasty Upper Crust Bakery Lemon Bites that I reviewed last fall. Do you need to be a pumpkin spice lover to … Read more
Pretzels are a great snack on their own, but they’re also a popular choice for the salty part of lots of salty and sweet combinations. Costco has offered a few of these over the years – I’ve personally reviewed the Creative Snacks Co. White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Crisps and the Snappers Dark Chocolate … Read more
I never thought I’d see the day when I’d be baking fresh croissants at home! While I may never make them from scratch, these Au Pain Dore Croissants from Costco are the next best thing. They’re frozen and ready to bake, so all you have to do is pop them … Read more
Is it possible to make a truly delicious treat that’s also reasonably healthy? After reviewing a lot of different products claiming to offer this combination over the years, I can say that it is. It’s not very common though. Most of the contenders compromise on taste or nutrition or sometimes … Read more
If you’re judging desserts by the ratio of deliciousness to the number of ingredients, s’mores have to rank pretty high. The combination of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow is definitely greater than the sum of its parts, but I think that using a perfectly golden brown, gooey campfire-roasted marshmallow has … Read more
