Costco Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzels Review

Costco hit the mark with the flavor combo in their Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzels. These crunchy, salty pretzels are filled with creamy, slightly sweet peanut butter that creates an irresistible snack. I picked up a tub to try and am excited to share my thoughts in this review!

Location in Store

These peanut butter pretzels are located in the snack section at Costco, near the checkout. They’re beside the Korean Island Jerky and the Kirkland Signature Sweet Heat Snack Mix. The item number is 1050557.

Taste

If you like pretzels and enjoy peanut butter, you must try these. They are thick, crunchy, very salty pretzel nuggets with a peanut butter center. The peanut butter inside isn’t soft and gooey; it’s a firm chunk that’s slightly separated from the pretzel shell.

The salty pretzel pairs perfectly with the slightly sweet and smooth peanut butter. The Costco Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzels are definitely a tasty snack.

I wanted to know what “Valencia Peanut Butter” refers to, as listed on the front of the container, and I found out through Google that it’s a particular type of peanut used to make the peanut butter. Valencia peanuts are more commonly used in all-natural peanut butter and have a naturally sweeter flavor.

Cost

This is a huge 1.56-kilogram tub of pretzels that costs $13.99 CAD at Costco. Take note: they cost three dollars more than they did in 2019, when the price was $10.99 CAD. Considering the size of the container, I don’t think the price is unreasonable.

Convenience

These are super convenient to bring to a party, on a road trip, camping, to a potluck, or just to have at home for snacking. The plastic tub keeps them fresh, and it’s easy to pour out a small bowl.

The best-before date listed on my container of pretzels is about [insert time frame] from when I purchased them. They’re a product of the USA, for those who care to know!

Nutrition

Calories

Fourteen peanut butter-filled pretzels contain 240 calories, 11 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, 8 grams of protein, and 410 milligrams of sodium. The amount of sugar in 14 pretzels is actually pretty low, but the calories, fat, and carbohydrates are moderately high. The hard part is making sure you don’t eat way more than 14.

Ingredients

The ingredients list is pretty predictable, with wheat flour, peanut butter, and some sugar as the main components. The pretzels contain peanuts, barley, and wheat, so they are obviously neither gluten-free nor nut-free.

Overall

Must buy if you like peanut butter and pretzels!

These are seriously addictive, the crunchy, salty pretzels and the smooth, creamy peanut butter make the perfect combo.
