Chocolate covered almonds are a classic, simple treat that may seem plain, but they’re loved by many for their delicious combination of crunchy nuts and sweet chocolate. During a recent trip to Costco, I decided to try a bag of Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Covered Almonds. Kirkland Signature is known for offering dependable quality at a reasonable price, so I was curious to see how these chocolate covered almonds would measure up. Are they worth buying? Read on to find out what I thought of these Costco chocolate covered almonds!

Location in Store

These are located in the snack section at the front of the store near the Kirkland Signature S’mores Clusters and the Kirkland Signature Dark Chocolate Covered Mangoes. The item number is 919999.

Taste

Kirkland Signature Chocolate Covered Almonds from Costco are delicious, sweet, and seriously addictive, it’s hard to eat just one! Most of the chocolate-covered almonds are a decent size, although the bag contains a mix of smaller pieces and extra-large almonds. Each almond is coated in a smooth, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth milk chocolate that tastes rich and high quality.

The almonds taste fresh and have a satisfying crunch, while the roasting brings out their natural nutty flavor. The combination of crunchy, roasted almonds and creamy milk chocolate creates a delicious balance of textures and flavors that makes these Costco chocolate-covered almonds such an irresistible treat.

Cost

The price of Kirkland Signature Chocolate Covered Almonds at Costco has increased quite a bit over the years. In 2020, the 1.5 kg bag cost $15.99 CAD, compared to $22.99 CAD in 2026. That’s a $7.00 increase, or approximately 44% more than it cost six years ago! Almonds aren’t cheap, and chocolate prices have also risen over the past few years, which may help explain some of the increase.

Convenience

Kirkland Signature Chocolate Covered Almonds come in a convenient resealable bag that helps keep the chocolate fresh and the almonds crunchy between servings. The best-before date was approximately 11 months from the date of purchase, giving them a generous shelf life when stored properly. These Costco chocolate-covered almonds are perfect to keep around the house whenever you’re craving a quick chocolate fix. They’re also great for offering guests a sweet treat or sharing with family and friends.

Nutrition

Calories

Although Kirkland Signature Chocolate Covered Almonds contain almonds, they’re still more of an indulgent treat than a healthy snack. A serving of nine chocolate-covered almonds contains 230 calories, 15 grams of fat, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 17 grams of sugar, three grams of protein, two grams of fibre, and 35 milligrams of sodium. Much of the fat comes from the almonds themselves, which contain naturally occurring fats, but the chocolate coating adds extra sugar and calories.

Ingredients

The ingredients in Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Covered Almonds are fairly standard for store-bought chocolate-covered almonds. The shellac listed in the ingredients is used as a glazing agent to give the chocolate coating its smooth, glossy appearance. These Costco chocolate-covered almonds contain almonds, milk, and soy, and may also contain peanuts and other tree nuts. Anyone with food allergies should check the product packaging carefully for the most up-to-date ingredient and allergen information before consuming them.
