The giant Toblerone from Costco is delicious on its own, but also can be used for Christmas baking!
Today, I’m reviewing something that immediately makes me think of the Christmas and the holiday season. The Costco Toblerone bar! I either buy a Toblerone bar every year or get one in my stocking. I absolutely love using Toblerone in cookie recipes!
Other holiday chocolates from Costco I love are the Costco Gudrun Fine Belgian Chocolates, Costco Lindt Lindor Chocolates, Costco Kirkland Signature Macadamia Clusters and the Costco Godiva Masterpieces Chocolates.
Location in Store
You can find the giant Toblerone bars in the Christmas/seasonal treat aisle at Costco. The item number is 348200.
Taste
If you’ve never had a Toblerone bar before, they’re plain milk chocolate bars with smallish chunks of crunchy, sticky almond nougat inside. The milk chocolate itself is quite sweet, though it’s hard to tell if the sweetness is only coming from the chocolate or if the honey and nougat add to it as well.
I suspect the latter. Even though the nougat is almond nougat, there’s not a noticeable almond flavor.
The texture of a Toblerone bar is somewhat unique. I don’t think I’ve ever had a chocolate bar quite like it. The chocolate melts in your mouth, but the nougat chunks are noticeably crunchy and they stick to your teeth (just a little bit).
I’ve been eating Toblerone bars for years, especially around the holidays. Even though they’re a fairly basic chocolate bar, they’ve always seemed just a little bit festive to me. They’re also kind of a comfort food. I love the flavors and the signature texture and I’ll continue to eat them for years to come.
Cost
I paid $14.99 Canadian for the giant 750 gram bar. This isn’t bad because the much smaller 360 gram bar at the grocery store is $9.99 Canadian.
Convenience
The best before date on the Toblerone bar is about 11 months from the date we purchased the bar. It comes in a cardboard triangular prism-shaped box with an inner plastic wrapper. You can store any leftover Toblerone in the plastic wrapper and box it comes in or you can also pop it into a ziplock bag.
Since this is such a large bar the pieces of Toblerone are also very large! One piece is more than enough for me. I also like to chop them up into chunks and use them for Christmas baking. The bar is made in Switzerland.
Nutrition
One piece of the Toblerone bar is 230 calories, 13 grams of fat, 20 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, 26 grams of sugar and two grams of protein. They are pretty big pieces though!
Ingredients
The ingredients list is short with ingredients I would expect to see! Not healthy ingredients though! Toblerone contains milk, soy, almond and egg.

The European version of Toblerone has roasted (brown) almonds not white almonds like we have here in North America. In Europe it’s also more flavorful, like their version of Nutella is too.
