Yet another hit by the fan-favorite store.
A trip to Costco can sometimes feel like a trip to the land of hard-to-resist treats. Anyone who has ever ventured into the bakery department knows the excitement of spotting mini lemon cakes or peanut butter pie. But not all the goodies at Costco are in the bakery department. Fans are freaking out about a candy-aisle treat that’s a combination of two favorites.
Costco’s New Caramel S’mores Clusters
When Reditt’s kamarsh79 spied Kirkland Caramel S’mores Clusters on the Costco shelf, she bought them “on a whim” and her family could “not stay out of them.”
The front of the package lets you know exactly what your taste buds are in for: milk chocolate, kettle-cooked caramel, grahams, and marshmallows. Three of those ingredients are, of course, the classic s’more trio. Adding caramel to the mix sounds pretty amazing to us, although we’re not sure if kettle-cooked caramel is any better than stovetop-cooked caramel, but it sounds impressive.
Fellow Redditors were very excited. “These were SO GOOD! I couldn’t control myself around them, totally devoured,” said one. Another sarcastically said, “I actually want to complain about these. I’m pretty sure my bag had a hole in it. It’s the only thing that could make sense.” And one person called them dangerous: “Another dangerous product that I'll have to buy when I'm there next time. Thanks for nothing!”
The candies were compared to a similar Fannie May candy, but perhaps even better according to one Redditor who said, “I thought these were better than the Fannie Mae ones!” They were also compared to Trader Joe's S’mores Clusters, one of the store’s best new products this year.
Redditors weren’t the only ones excited.
Instagram’s @costcodeals posted about them and said, “Another hit!! New Kirkland Signature Caramel S’mores Clusters! Sooooo good! Only $8.99!” The account's followers were also excited. “10/10 so so good,” commented one of them. “So good. So dangerous,” commented another. “Very dangerous!” agreed a third.
