8 Costco Sweets Customers Are Raving About Right Now

Whether you're on the hunt for healthy frozen meals, tasty breakfast foods, or affordable wines, Costco's product selection has something to offer for pretty much any grocery shopping need. But there's one section at the warehouse club that's been getting an especially big outpouring of love from members lately: the candy aisle.

Costco, of course, sells bulk-sized versions of the beloved confections you'll find at pretty much any grocery store, including M&M's, Hershey's Kisses, and Sour Patch Kids. However, the retailer also stocks some more unique (and even Costco-exclusive) treats that have captured the hearts of shoppers.

Using online reviews from the people who know the warehouse club best—the customers—we've rounded up all the Costco sweets that are getting the most buzz right now. Read on for insider knowledge on Costco's absolute best candies, and don't be too surprised if one or more of these offerings ends up on your next shopping list.

Nutty & Fruity Peel'd Peelable Gummies

Following the viral popularity of Walgreens' peelable gummy candies earlier this year, a new version of those famous treats popped up on Costco's shelves this fall: Nutty & Fruity Peel'd Peelable Gummies. Available in individually wrapped mango, strawberry, and tangerine flavors, the gummies have a chewy, outer layer that shoppers can peel away to reveal a soft, shiny center. Costco shoppers have been raving about both the taste and interactive element of the candies ever since they arrived at the retailer.

"There are two distinct textures between the 'peel' and the fruit inside. They're fun and tastier than regular gummy candies in my opinion," one wrote on Reddit.

"These use real fruit juice as flavor and they are some of the most delicious gummies," another Redditor said of the candies. "The textures of the 'peel' and 'inside' are perfectly firm, but not too sticky. And the gimmick is fun."

Out of all the candies that Costco sells, few have garnered quite as much hype as its fan-favorite Kirkland Signature Peppermint Bark.

Fans look forward to the peppermint bark's return throughout its entire off-season, and they were ecstatic when it recently reappeared for its 2024 run.

"It is the best. It's so soft and just melts in your mouth" the Costco fan account @costcohotfinds raved on Instagram. "I was surprised but happy to see it back so early."

"This is the only way I eat white chocolate! These are delicious!" another fan commented on the post.

"I'm a huge fan of these," another fan raved on Reddit. "Honestly I love sour candy but it can be too much sugar, so I like snacking on a few of these at the end of the day."

Bequet Celtic Sea Salt Caramels

There are plenty of different caramel treats on the market right now, but according to some consumers, the Bequet Celtic Sea Salt Caramels sold at Costco (and other retailers) are the absolute best around.

The manufacturer touts these popular vanilla butter caramels as "soul-satisfying, comfort food." Judging by the glowing reviews that have piled up online, Costco members are in hearty agreement with this description.

"I am OBSESSED. These may be better than the Sanders chocolate caramels, which I know are super popular," a fan wrote on Reddit, referencing the Sanders Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels also sold at Costco. "Nice big flakes of salt in the middle and the caramel breaks down in your mouth creamy, not grainy."

"As far as caramels go, these are the best I've ever had," another Redditor wrote.
