Do you know what a Bisconie is? It’s a combination of a biscotti and a scone. Costco carries a cranberry orange bisconie in the bakery department and this is my first time trying them. Find out below if these bisconie from Costco are worth picking up for your next tea-time treat!
I’m so happy to be doing a new Kirkland Signature bakery item review! I love it when the Costco bakery department comes out with new yummy looking baked goods like these cranberry orange bisconie.
Other bakery items I love from Costco are the Kirkland Signature Raspberry Crumble Cookies, Kirkland Signature Tuxedo Cake, Kirkland Signature Tiramisu Cake, Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pie, Kirkland Signature Ginger Cookies and Kirkland Signature Palm Leaves.
Location in Store
You can find the bisconie in the bakery section at Costco. The item number is 18291.
Taste
I absolutely love the cranberry orange bisconie from Costco and totally recommend them! I know they’re supposed to be a hybrid between a scone and a biscotti but they taste like a cookie muffin to me.
Biscotti are usually very hard and these are soft, scones are crumbly but the bisconie aren’t, that’s why I feel they’re like a cookie muffin. The texture is soft and airy on the inside, a bit crunchy and golden brown on the outside.
The cranberry and orange flavor is sweet and slighty tart and overall really delicious. I think Costco nailed it when deciding the bisconie should be cranberry orange flavor. Although these are a perfect breakfast treat I think they’d also be perfect for morning or afternoon coffee/tea or even dessert.
Cost
The packahe comes with 16 bisconie and costs $9.99 Canadian, which I know doesn’t seem super cheap but one bisconie is pretty big and they’re also darn tasty!
Convenience
The Costco bisconie come in a plastic resealable container and the best before date is five days from the date I purchased the bisconie. I can say these freeze well because I froze my bisconie right after I tried one fresh.
These bisconie are perfect for a sweet breakfast treat to go with coffee or tea, a snack or even dessert.
Nutrition
Calories
One bisconie has 190 calories, seven grams of fat, 30 grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fibre, 18 grams of sugar and 160 milligrams of sodium. That’s actually less calories, fat and sugar than I thought there would be!
Ingredients
The ingredients list has pretty much what I’d expect to see with a few unnecessary, disappointing ingredients. For example, soy flour, soya oil and and artificial flavor. The bisconie contain wheat, milk, eggs and soy and may contain tree nuts, peanuts and sesame.

J’ai adoré ces petites merveilleuses délicieuses malheureusement, on en retrouve plus, chez Costco !?
Bought these a week before Christmas as I thought the cranberry orange flavor would be a nice addition to our Pantone which we always have on Christmas morning at breakfast. It was a great hit with everyone and a few had seconds. The texture was nothing like a biscotti, which we also love and softer than a scone but with similarities. I’d call it a soft scone and the perfect size. I’m hoping these are not just sold during the holidays!
Found the cranberry orange bisconie here in St. Petersburg last week. They are wonderful!
Thanks for the calorie count.
Update – they are no longer available there. Crushed!
I love the bisconies. Buy them anytime I find them in Costco. Looked for them today 7/19/2023 and was told they were out of season. Didn’t know pastry had a season. Also, when I first bought them, they were twice as big as current offerings which I liked much better. Shop at least twice a month at Costco in Michigan and Texas as I said purchased them each occasion. Will continue to do so if I can find them.
I must be the odd person out here…I think they taste artificial and awful. My husband agrees. Not much natural flavor in these.
I cannot tell you how much I love these bisconie! I was wondering around the bakery department, trying to tell myself that I really didn’t need a $9.99 tub of chocolate chip cookies for two people with senior appetites when I saw this $6.99 treat. Unfortunately, they are addictive! Glad to know that they are 190 calories, which isn’t so bad, if you only eat one (if you can). Also good to know I can freeze them, although I don’t know that they’ll last all that long!
They are in costco in Hawaii as of May 2023. We love them.
Glad you posted the calories though.
We love them! Just purchased my third container of them at Costco in Kansas City. Hope they keep making them!
They are in our local Costco now in Georgia. Delicious!
We found these the first time at Costco this past December. After not seeing them for a few weeks it was decided that maybe they were a holiday item because of the cranberries. Now we find them regularly at our store for $6.99 US$ a dozen. We freeze ours and either heat them up or eat them as cold treat.
Can’t find the cranberry orange Bisconies any more. Talked to an employee and they said they are discontinued. Very very disappointed, I love them
We just bought some for the first time in Idaho falls yesterday, they’re so good!!
We have them at the costco in Southlake, Texas. Im sorry they didn’t have them there. I am trying to bake them myself. Wish me luck, LOL.
We have them in our Delaware Costco, they’re very good!
Just found these at our Costco, Traverse City, Mi. Love them, great dunkers. I hope they come out in other flavor.
I am so addicted to these! I hope they aren’t a seasonal item. Does anyone know?
Let’s hope not!
The cranberry orange bisconie is DELICIOUS !!!
Please continue to carry them after the holidays.
Are these available in the US? They look fabulous!
Yes as far as I know they are!
Why are these only available at Christmas time they are so delicious.
When will the bisconie be available. Don’t see them when shopping, sure do miss them, ohio
Thanks for your review! I tried these cranberry orange bisconie for the first time when visiting my sister in Montreal over Thanksgiving. They are so delicious! I’m hoping they are sold in the Kelowna Costco when I get home.
Have you seen the individual carrot cakes at your Costco yet? They are huge- about the same size as their jumbo muffins, and 6 are $9.99! I can’t make them that cheap, and they are absolutely delicious with the cream cheese frosting on them. Look forward to this every week. Thank you
I’ll have to look for them!
Oh my gosh. What store carries them? I hope we get them soon on the east coast
