Costco Creative Snacks Co. Strawberry & Yogurt Pretzels Review

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 Sea Salt Caramel Pretzel Clusters. I know from past experience that pretzels pair perfectly with chocolate, but I wasn’t sure how they’d work with the flavors of strawberry and yogurt. I had to find out!

The Costco snack section is one of my favorite aisles in Costco and when I saw this bright pink bag that I hadn’t seen before I immediately ran over to see what the product was. I’ve never had a strawberry-covered pretzel before. I’ve had chocolate-covered pretzels but nothing like the Creative Snacks Co Strawberry & Yogurt Pretzels.

Rich, creamy, sweet & salty.

Other sweet and salty foods from Costco are the Kirkland Signature Butter Toffee Cashews, Angie’s Boom Chicka Pop Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn, Savanna Orchards Gourmet Honey Roasted Nuts, Kirkland Signature Honey Roasted Macadamia Nuts, Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Marinade & Dressing, RX Bars and the Kirkland Signature Cheese Fruit and Nut Packs. The Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzels are another interesting pretzel-based snack, but they’re more of a salty and salty combination!

Location in Store

These are located in the snack section near the front of the store, by the beef jerky, granola bars and candy. The item number is 1595597.

Taste

These pretzels are an addictive mix of salty and sweet and soft and crunchy! They’re pretty much what I expected, and I mean that in a good way. The outer coating is fairly soft, creamy and has a nice amount of sweetness. The strawberry flavor is good, though a bit artificial.

There were no crushed pretzels in my bag!

The pretzel inside is pretty typical; the most impressive part to me is that the pretzels somehow stay pretty crunchy despite the generous amount of strawberry yogurt coating.

Even though the pretzels have an excellent combination of salty and sweet flavors, they’re definitely more of a sweet snack than a salty one. I can see eating them for dessert, but probably wouldn’t want to have them with a glass of wine on my deck this summer!

Cost

The 737-gram bag costs $10.99 Canadian at Costco, which isn’t the cheapest but not outrageously expensive. The price is similar to other snacks like this at Costco.

There’s a decently thick coating of strawberry yogurt on each pretzel.

Convenience

The bag is resealable which I appreciate because it helps keep the pretzels fresh! The best-before date is six months from when I purchased them. I think kids would absolutely love bringing these to school as a snack or having them as a treat on family movie night.

One thing I’ll point out is that the pretzels were all pretty intact in the bag and not crushed.

A perfect blend of sweet & salty!

Nutrition

Calories

10 pretzels contain 240 calories, nine grams of fat, 37 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, 23 grams of sugar, two grams of protein and 160 milligrams of sodium. It’s really easy to eat way more than 10 pretzels so in my opinion the calories, fat, carbs and sugar are pretty high.

Ingredients

There’s nothing nutritious about these strawberry-covered pretzels from Costco. I don’t think there’s really even any real strawberry in the coating. I give the ingredients a big thumbs down due to sugar being the first ingredient and the palm oil, soybean and canola oil listed.

They contain milk, soy, wheat and barley and may contain peanuts, tree nuts, egg and sesame seeds.

Overall

Must buy!

The salty, sweet flavor combination and crunchy texture is delicious and it’s hard to stop eating these once you start.

Have you tried these strawberry yogurt-covered pretzels? What did you think of them?

  1. Hi Natalie,
    Thank you for testing this for us. Based on you finding the strawberry artificial tasting, I will probably never buy these.
    Thank you again!

  2. Didn’t like these at all as the strawberry flavouring was quite artificial for my taste. But to each their own.☺️
