Ah, Costco. It’s great for stocking up on household essentials in bulk, but let’s be honest: what we really look forward to are all of the incredible supersized snacks (and, of course, that super-cheap hot dog combo). In fact, there are so many delicious snack items on the Costco shelves that it can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s why we’re rounding up a few of the best, superfan-approved options below.

1. Reese's Dipped Animal Crackers

If you're a fan of Reese's and animal crackers, look no further than this combo of both delicious treats. These Reese's Dipped Animal Crackers are simply mouthwatering. If you don't believe us, take it from super fans on the Costco subreddit, who have confirmed that they're addicting. "These are amazing, I almost ate a whole bag in one sitting," one comment confessed. We're right there with you!

2. Mama's Choice Fried Calamari Snacks

Love calamari? Love crispy chips? Then we're going to take a guess that you'll love these fried calamari snacks. Consider these a mix between your favorite fried appetizer and your favorite bagged snack. Just heat 'em up to enjoy the deep-fried calamari goodness. While this may sound a little out of the ordinary, Reddit users are giving them rave reviews. "The crispy calamari snacks are so delicious! 10/10 would buy again!" wrote one fan.

3. Buffalo Chicken Wilde Protein Chips

Although the Super Bowl may be behind us, we're firm believes that buffalo chicken is a flavor that can be enjoyed all year long. That's why we love these Buffalo Style Protein Chips from Wilde, which are made with chicken breast, egg whites, and chicken bone broth. There aren't your typical chips, which provide little nutritional value and can lead to a range of health risks; instead, they pack in 10 grams of protein per serving! And they're delicious, too. In fact, one Reddit user called them the "Best chips I've had in a long time. And you don't feel guilty mowing them down." Count us in!

4. Orion Choco Churros Turtle Chips

Speaking of chips... here's a variety that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. (But be careful, because shoppers confirm that they're addicting.) One Reddit user, who proclaimed that these chocolate-y, crispy chips are "my new favorite snack of all time," described these Orion Choco Churros Turtle Chips perfectly: "The churro crunch followed by the light chocolate flavor and topped off with a cinnamon sugar finish. I’m so absolutely happy." Throw 'em into your cart to find your own snack bliss!

5. Zack's Mighty Jalapeno Lime Chips

Okay, now I'm throwing in my own personal pick. I'm a sucker for any sort of jalapeno chip, and these corn chips from Zack's Mighty certainly delivered in the flavor and crunch department. They're flavorful enough to eat on their own (it was really hard for me not to finish a whole bag in one day), and they're also perfect for dipping or using as a base for nachos. Take it from me: 10/10, would recommend.

6. Kirkland Signature Caramel S'Mores Clusters

S'mores, anyone? When you don't have a campfire nearby, these Kirkland Signature Caramel S'Mores Clusters are absolutely the next best thing. Costco has done it again: this perfect snack includes kettle-cooked caramel, marshmallows, grahams, and milk chocolate. Superfans agree that they're "insanely delicious." As one shopper wrote on Reddit, "I regret buying them as I can't stop eating them." We're willing to take that risk!

7. Girl Scouts Coconut Caramel Bites

We wish it was Girl Scout cookie season all year long—but when we can't get our hands on a box of Samoas, these Coconut Caramel Bites certainly do the trick. They feature basically everything we could want from a sweet treat: a crispy center surrounded by caramel, coconut, and dark chocolate. And like the actual cookies, it's very difficult to practice restraint once you open a bag of these bad boys. "This is dangerous," one Reddit comment confirms. But we like to live on the dangerous side—even if all that sugar does come with risks. (P.S., you can find these in Thin Mint flavors, too!)

8. Bobo's PB&J Oat Snack Variety Pack

Attention, PB&J lovers! This snack from Bobo's is sure to hit the spot—without all the risks of white bread. Instead, these creatines fill a soft peanut butter oat crust with different flavors of fruit filling. The variety box includes both strawberry and grape—no matter what you choose, it's sure to be addicting. One Reddit post confirms that they're "adult-approved" and "exceeded expectations."

9. Sonoma Creamery Pepperoni Pizza Crisps

If you want all the great flavors of pizza without the health risks of overindulging in this comfort food on a regular basis, look no further than these Pepperoni Pizza Crisps from Sonoma. Not only are they delicious, crunchy, and complete with real mozzarella, pepperoni, and tomato, but they also pack in 13g of protein per serving. Not bad! "I easily knock out half the bag in one sitting, and have to stop myself from finishing the other half through sheer effort of will power," wrote one fan.

10. Muddy Bites Waffle Cone Snacks

Sometimes when we say we want an ice cream cone, we really do mean just the cone—with a little bit of chocolate. Thanks to these Waffle Cone Snacks from Muddy Bites, you can snack on nothing but that. No ice cream required! You can grab a whole bag of these bite-sized, chocolate-filled cones at Costco, but beware: it could lead to addiction. "I got 2 bags and had to hide one from my wife as she was constantly going back to the kitchen and getting another handful of them," one shopper revealed. It's that serious.

11. Reese's Caramel Big Cups

We'll finish off with yet another Reese's treat. If the animal crackers aren't your thing, maybe you'll be interested in these Caramel Big Cups, which are just about exactly what they sound like. These mouthwatering treats take an extra-thick Reese's cup and throw in some gooey caramel for good measure. What more could you want out of your candy?! Unsurprisingly, Costco shoppers have deemed them a "new addiction," which means we need to buy some ASAP.

So, there you have it: whether you're looking for something sweet, salty, or anything in between, Costco certainly has you covered in the snack department. Happy shopping!
