There are a few Costco products that I review that become part of my daily diet and these Costco Jojo’s Dark Chocolate Bites are one of those foods! Find out below why I love them so much! I actually reviewed the Jojo’s Original Guilt-Free Chocolate a couple of years ago, but I like these bites better for some reason.
A few years ago I got into the habit of needing a bedtime snack, every night before bed I need something to eat, usually sweet or carby and never savory! Cereal and Costco RXBAR Protein Bars have been my go-to until I picked up these Costco Jojo’s Dark Chocolate Bites.
Other items from Costco that are actually a part of my regular diet include the Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers, Kirkland Signature Mixed Nut Butter with Seeds, Lotus Foods Rice Ramen, Bibigo Steamed Dumplings, Kirkland Signature Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon, Taylor Farms Dill Pickle Salad and the Eat Smart Sweet Kale Salad Kit.
Location in Store
The chocolate bites are located in the snack section at the front of the store, the item number is 1665524.
Taste
I absolutely love these little chocolate treats! The chocolate is not sweet at all due to it being 70% bitter dark chocolate. There are cranberries as well as pistachios and almonds combined with dark chocolate. The cranberries add a nice touch of sweetness that combines perfectly with dark chocolate.
The pistachios and almonds add some additional crunchy texture and a hint of nutty flavor. The main flavor is, of course, coming from dark chocolate which in my opinion tastes like very high-quality chocolate.
Cost
The 475-gram bag of chocolate bites costs $11.99 Canadian at Costco, which is reasonable in my opinion!
Convenience
The bag is resealable and the best-before date is 11 months from when I purchased the chocolates. Since there are no preservatives in the chocolate it is recommended to store them in a cool place like your refrigerator!
I love having one chocolate bite after dinner or as a mid-afternoon snack. If you’re someone like me who needs a little bit of something sweet to end the night you’ll probably love these.
Nutrition
Calories
Three bites contain 180 calories, 13 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrates, four grams of fiber, eight grams of sugar, five grams of protein and zero milligrams of sodium. I’m fully satisfied after one bite and there are not that many calories or too much fat or sugar in just one so I don’t feel too guilty having one daily!
Ingredients
The ingredients list is short and sweet with dark chocolate, almonds, pistachios and dried cranberries being the main ingredients with a touch of hemp protein for some additional hunger-fighting protein!
The bites are vegan-friendly and gluten-free which is awesome if you aren’t consuming dairy or gluten!

Is any of the profit going towards a cause?
love these, too! my costco in nanuet, new york had the bars on sale which is how i found them and then they disappeared. i wish they would bring in this newer version which i got at bj’s. it is a slightly different recipe 10 ounce bag and one bar (which was packaged as one pound! same price!) is equal to three bites. as a breast cancer survivor, the story really got me… thank you, sterling!
i also wish we could get the new kirkland signature nut butter. i cannot even order it online!!! since i am now disabled and cabbing everywhere, i may just have to make my own.
has anyone ever had any luck with the suggestion box? i stuff it every week with requests repeatedly and nothing. would love to know of any tricks.
thank you, natalie. i love receiving your newsletter. gina in new york.
Yep love these bites!
Better than the bars somehow?
On sale this week for 9.99 at my Costco in Niagara! Bonus!
Are these the same as the full size bars they had several years ago? They were delish but hard to cut up. These would be very convenient.
They are but for some reason they taste better!
definitely not low sugar.
One bite satisfies me and is less than three grams of sugar so I think that’s not bad!
