Best Costco Snacks (7 Snacks To Keep An Eye Open For)
Whether you’re packing a lunch or grabbing things for a movie night, snacks can make or break the experience. Luckily, Costco not only brings it where snacks are concerned, but the bulk warehouse also ensures you’ll have plenty on hand.
Buying in bulk is an area where Costco shines, so for your grazing pleasure, here are seven of the best Costco snacks to look out for!
1. Harvest Snaps Green Pea Snack Crisps
These Harvest Snaps Green Pea crisps topped both Buzzfeed’s and Self’s list of snacks you must try from Costco, and most customers are inclined to agree.
They’re salty, crunchy, and not too pea-flavored (the real thing can make or break a casserole). This makes them the perfect replacement for potato chips if you want to upgrade to something healthier.
Also, they’re gluten-free, vegan, and a serving packs in four grams of fiber (important if you’re eating them to help lose weight) and five grams of protein to help keep you feeling full.
Lastly, a 20-ounce bag will run you just $7.99.
2. Kirkland Signature Organic Roasted Seaweed Snack
The Kirkland Signature Organic Roasted Seaweed snacks are a perfect little bite with their salty umami flavor.
Still, you can maximize their usefulness as a vessel to your mouth by eating them a la Emily Mariko on TikTok.
Use them to scoop up your salmon rice bowl, and you’ll enjoy flavors akin to sushi (it’s a great substitute if making sushi isn’t really in your skillset).
Also, these are great to cut up into thin slices and use to top your Asian rice bowls or noodles!
Ten individual packages are just $12.99—an amazing steal when single packages are sold at Wegmans for $3.99 each!
3. Whisps Cheese Crisps
Okay, maybe you don’t buy green pea crisps as a chip substitute, but the Whisps Cheese Crisps work well as healthier stand-ins.
Various savory flavors include Parmesan and the very tasty-sounding Asiago & Pepperjack.
Also, they’re keto-friendly because they’re 100% real cheese baked into little circles, perfect for snacking.
Moreover, they’re gluten-free, and not only are they great out of the bag, but you can crush them up and use them to top salads or casseroles.
Each serving contains just one gram of carbs and 13 whole grams of protein! Finally, at Costco, you can get two packs of 9.5-ounce bags for $24.99.
4. Mad Minis Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches
Moving away from chip-like substitutes, we could all use something sweet and creamy from the freezer occasionally.
The Mad Minis Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches are the perfect size for people watching portions or parents wanting to treat their kids without giving them a full-size ice cream.
The two cookies on the outside resemble Oreos (and they’re roughly the same size), and they’ve been stuffed with creamy, sweet vanilla ice cream.
Also, each cookie sandwich has only 60 calories and five grams of sugar, so grown-ups can feel okay about having a second one.
Finally, a box has 36 sandwiches inside, costing just $9.49.
5. Kirkland Signature Original Turkey Jerky
Jerky is a convenient snack because it’s nonperishable, easily portable, and filled with protein, which keeps you feeling fuller longer.
The Kirkland Signature Original Turkey Jerky is healthier, too, thanks to the main meat – turkey is lower in fat and calories than beef.
The main ingredients are:
- Turkey breast
- Brown sugar
- Tamari sauce
- Water
- Vinegar
- Salt
- Natural smoke flavor
- Apple juice concentrate
- Garlic and onion powder and spice
That’s it – it’s a genuinely pure, incredibly flavorful snack.
You can pack it in sandwich bags and take it on the go with you, whether you’re attending a kiddo’s soccer game or working late at the office.
The best part is that the 13.5-ounce bags are just $12.86 each.
6. Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Almonds
If you can get in and out of Costco without purchasing these famous chocolate-covered almonds, that’s impressive.
That said, they’re a beloved snack that customers regard even better than the chocolate-covered raisins.
However, the only issue here is that they are addictive, so it’s probably best to remove what you want to eat, put it in a bowl, and then close the container of almonds and hide it.
Also, the only way Costco could improve these is by offering a dark chocolate version. For now, though, scoop up a 48-ounce jar for $15.20.
Try the Kirkland Signature Macadamia Caramel Milk Chocolate cluster if you’re feeling particularly wild!
7. Kirkland Signature Dark Chocolate Covered Mangoes
Few things capture people’s attention, like fruit covered in dark chocolate, and Costco offers a unique combination of mangoes slathered in rich, deep chocolate.
Supposedly, these mangoes in question have been sourced from the Philippine Islands, while the chocolate has been sustainably manufactured.
Even better, the only two ingredients here are dried mangoes and dark chocolate – no weird preservatives or chemicals.
Customers call these “dangerous,” one Redditor warned their peers, “Don’t get these…you will not be able to survive without them.”
So, buyers beware; these delectable treats are sold in 46-ounce pouches for a mere $11.69 each.
