Costco Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle Review

When I think of brownies, I think of a soft and melty treat. The Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle takes the classic flavor of brownies but turns it into a hard and crispy cookie that’s similar to biscotti in texture. As someone who tends to prefer softer cookies, I wasn’t sure what to think about that. I wondered if maybe this Brownie Brittle might be better used as a topping on ice cream and things like that than eaten by itself. Read on to find out if they won me over as a standalone treat!

Location in Store

I bought this brownie brittle in Kalispell, Montana and found it in the snack section, near all the chocolates and candy. The item number is 673197.

Taste

This brownie brittle absolutely tastes like a rich, fudgy brownie but in a very crispy, light, cookie form. The flavor screams real homemade brownie but the texture is like a processed brownie crisp. They’re very crunchy and a bit on the hard side.

Ready to try!

If you leave them in your mouth long enough they just kind of melt away. The brownie brittle is sweet and the chocolate chips add some additional sweetness and texture. You have to like chocolate brownies to like these because that’s all the flavor you taste.

The chocolate chips are the best part in my opinion.

Cost

The 454-gram bag of brittle costs $7.59 USD which I think is pretty cheap and wouldn’t hesitate to pay this amount again for a bag.

Thin & crispy!

Convenience

The bag reseals which helps keep the brownie brittle from going stale. The best-before date is approximately 10 months from when I purchased it. The product is made in the USA! I like that the bag suggests that if you have crumbs and broken pieces in the bag, use them as a topping on yogurt or ice cream.

Kids and adults will both enjoy this brittle! My 19-month-old daughter liked it and she’s not the biggest fan of sweets. I think the brownie brittle would taste fantastic broken up used to top a sundae or served on the side of a bowl of ice cream.

Nutrition

Calories

Three pieces or a 28-gram serving contains 120 calories, four grams of fat, 75 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fiber, 14 grams of sugar and one gram of protein.

It’s hard to know how many calories you’re really consuming unless you weigh the three pieces because there are a lot of broken pieces and lots of different-sized pieces.

Ingredients

I wish the ingredients was a little bit healthier because I do enjoy the taste of this. The ingredients I cringe on seeing are corn syrup solids, soybean oil, dextrose and palm oil.

The brittle contains wheat, milk, egg and soy and may contain tree nuts and peanuts because it’s made in a facility that also processes products with nuts.

Overall

Give it a try!

My husband didn’t like this as much as I did because he’s not a fan of hard cookies but I think it’s pretty good. One bag is enough and I’ll probably tire of it by the time I’m done but this would be great to share with others at work or bring on a road trip or camping.

  1. I really enjoy these and buy them reularily. Interestingly they are cheapest by the oz in the small 5 oz bags when I compared the cost of different packaging. I eat the big pieces straight up, chop up the smaller pieces to mix in yogurt with fruit (blueberries or strawberries) or pour the crumbs and small pieces over ice cream. Its hard to imagine life without them.

  2. I bought 2 bags when Costco had a BOGO. I thought they sounded good and that I would enjoy them. I personnaly did not dig them at all. I also think a brownie should be softer that these. The problem is they are super thin and too crispy. I will not buy again as I even gave my 2 bags away to a friend. They are chocolaty.

  3. One of my favorite snacks ever. There are other flavors available (not necessarily at Costco#, but generally they have not been quite as good as the original.
