Nothing lifts the spirits of bulk-shopping fans quite like new items hitting Costco’s shelves during a bleak winter. Whether it’s a seasonal bakery treat, a limited-time snack, or a new prepared food quietly sliding into the deli case, these 10 new finds might be worth a trip to your local warehouse.
Peanut Butter Monster Cookies
Every time Costco releases a new item in its bakery section, it sends members into a frenzy of “hold my glass of milk.” The Peanut Butter Monster Cookies come in a box of 24 for $10.99 and features a chewy brown butter base with chocolate chunks, peanut butter chips, and candy morsels.
“Just saw these today, tried one — they are dangerously good,” one customer shared on Reddit. “Peanut butter, oats, Reese’s Pieces… I imagine if you slap some food court vanilla in between, it would be wild.”
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Cake
It’s a good month for Costco members with a sweet tooth. The Kirkland Signature Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Cake is another new addition to the bakery, going for nostalgia and a familiar, crowd-pleasing flavor. The cake weighs about 2.5 pounds, costs $18.99, and has stirred plenty of emotion among members — allegedly even inspiring some to get a Costco membership just to try it.
Redditors say the cake is worth every bit of the hype. “I sampled it last night! It was fantastic,” one user wrote. “Absolutely worth a purchase.”
Another added: “I was just hoping to have a nice chill day but now I gotta put on pants and go buy one of these.”
Poppi Soda Everyday Icons
Costco is tapping into the post–Dry January, better-for-you mindset with the viral Poppi Soda Everyday Icons Variety Pack, now hitting warehouses. Marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional soda, the box includes 18 twelve-ounce cans — six each of Wild Berry, Orange Cream, and Cherry Limeade.
They are low in sugar, and each can clocks in at around 30 calories per can. Reactions have been mostly positive.
“These things are a godsend if you’re craving something sweet,” shared one user on Reddit.
Korean Shine Muscat Grapes
Costco decided to start dabbling in luxury fruit. The Korean Shine Muscat grapes — the grapes TikTok is obsessing over — are now available in the produce section, right next to the regular grapes that no one takes photos of.
Shine Muscat grapes are a premium table grape variety originally developed in Japan and now widely grown in South Korea. They’re gigantic, glossy, and marketed as seedless, with a high sugar content and a crisp bite that’s often described as honeyed or lightly floral. Seul Shine Muscats is typically priced between about $7.99 and $11.99 for 1.3-pound clamshell.
On Reddit, a few people describe grabbing them as a “treat,” but the price doesn’t justify the luxe of it.
“Tried em, good but definitely not worth the price,” said one user.
Godiva Chocolate Heart Gift Box
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Costco has stocked up on the most classic move in the romance playbook: a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Godiva Chocolate Heart Gift Box contains 14 assorted chocolates — dark chocolate ganache, milk chocolate praline, strawberry ganache, and white chocolate praline hearts. It’s basically a greatest-hits lineup. The box is available online and in select warehouses, and goes for around $39.99.

Perdue Crispy Chicken Strips
You can safely place your bets that Costco has Game Day covered with Perdue Crispy Chicken Strips available in warehouses nationwide, according to Costco influencer Costco Deals.
The strips are fully cooked and made from 100% white meat chicken breast, coated in seasoned breading, and meant to go straight from freezer to air fryer, oven, or skillet.
Chosen Foods Steakhouse Caesar Dressing & Marinade
If you’re a fan of Chosen Foods products, you’re in for a treat. Costco Deals announced that the Steakhouse Caesar Dressing & Marinade is now hitting shelves at Costco in select locations. The item comes as a 2-pack of 12-ounce bottles and features a classic Caesar dressing made with 100% pure avocado oil and no seed oils.
“This has the PERFECT blend of flavors — garlic-forward, subtle parmesan, and just a hint of anchovy for that classic steakhouse Caesar vibe, reimagined with clean, simple ingredients,” wrote Costco Buys, another Costco fan.
Chipotle Chicken
As if the rotisserie chicken wasn’t popular enough, Costco has introduced a packaged Chipotle Chicken copycat — fully cooked, diced, and seasoned — now stocked in the deli section. Seasoned with smoked paprika, chili pepper, dehydrated onion, salt, and sugar, the 2-pound bag sells for roughly $12.
“Just picked this up today, it is amazing. Tastes just like Chipotle chicken but less spice in my opinion,” share a shopper on Reddit. “Already precooked, I just put it in the pan to warm it and was good to go. No extra seasoning needed.”

Binggrae Samanco Frozen Dairy Desserts
Costco is fully on board with the Korean food wave, as evidenced by its addition of Binggrae Samanco Frozen Dairy Desserts — a Korean convenience-store staple that’s quietly developed a cult following outside of Korea.
The fish-shaped waffle cone is filled with vanilla dairy dessert and a core of sweet red bean paste — or, in some versions, chocolate.
“My husband absolutely LOVES these, the ones with the vanilla custard. He had finish a box in less than 2 days,” said one Redditor.
“Omg I’ve had those, they’re SO GOOD,” said another.
Filled Heart Madeleines
Costco added Filled Heart Madeleines to its bakery lineup just in time for Valentine’s Day, and they’re exactly the kind of seasonal find that tends to vanish once people start talking. The heart-shaped cakes filled with raspberry and chocolate hazelnut centers. are sold in a box of nine for $9.99.
