That’s It Mini Fruit Bars are a popular snack item you can find at Costco. Now the same brand is introducing these organic dark chocolate fig truffles. Three truffles contain only 70 calories and they’re organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy and nut-free. They sound perfect on paper, but how good can such a healthy truffle taste?
Other chocolate truffles and chocolates that Costco sells are the Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolates, Tru Fru Chocolate Covered Raspberries, Unreal Dark Chocolate Coconut Minis, Truffettes De France Chocolate Truffles, Kirkland Signature Dark Chocolate Covered Mangoes and the Jojo’s Dark Chocolate Bites.
Location in Store
These are located in the snack section that’s near the front of the store at Costco. The item number is 1706732.
Taste
I don’t like the taste of these at all and will definitely struggle to finish my bag. They have a dark chocolate outer shell/coating and a fig jelly center. The dark chocolate isn’t really that tasty and doesn’t pair well at all with the fig in the middle. It’s slightly gritty and not very smooth.
The fig center is too sweet in my opinion and is just an odd flavor choice to pair with dark chocolate. Some people may like these if they love figs and because of the clean ingredients but they’re not doing it for me.
Cost
The 567-gram bag costs $16.99 Canadian which after trying the truffles is overpriced in my opinion.
Convenience
The bag reseals which helps to keep the truffles fresh. The best-before date is 11 months from when I purchased them. These are great for anyone looking for a sweet treat with a bit of a healthier ingredients list.
However, if you’re just looking for a really tasty chocolate and don’t necessarily care about the ingredients I’d skip buying these.
Nutrition
Calories
Three truffles contain 70 calories, one gram of fat, 16 grams of carbohydrates, four grams of fibre, 11 grams of sugar, one gram of protein and zero milligrams of sodium.
There are a lot less calories, fat and carbohydrates compared to other chocolate truffles. The truffles also have a decent amount of fibre!
Ingredients
The ingredients list is short and sweet with figs and organic dark chocolate being the only ingredients. I totally appreciate that the truffles are free from dairy, peanuts, soy and tree nuts.
The truffles are gluten-free as well as Non-GMO, fair trade certified and organic.

Give it a try!
Based on flavor alone, I don’t recommend these. I do appreciate the clean ingredients and nutrition facts so I think that a lot of people will find these appealing!

I’ve bought these a few times and think they are great for a healthy, all organic sweet snack. I buy them when they are on special at $12.99 and as I don’t eat a lot of them they do last a while as I’ll usually only eat one at a time. Thank you for all your great reviews!
I agree with you. I tried the truffles and I found them gritty which stayed with me for the rest of the day and evening. They were tasty but I wouldn’t buy them again either. In saying that though my daughter loved them!! So I guess to each is own!!
I bought these for my wife. She likes dark chocolate and loves figs. She wouldn’t finish the one that she tried. I like dark chocolate and figs also but found these tasted disgusting. I had a lot of trouble finishing the bag. My grand kids didn’t even like them.
They had a dark chocolate truffle at the Waterloo store. It was fantastic. I forget the name. I look for it on every trip. Haven’t seen it since. It wasn’t a Kirkland product.
