Truth be told, if I needed to switch careers, I’d pick a spot in Costco’s bakery test kitchen. It looks like a place where the fun and the science collide. Costco keeps rolling out fresh bakery items on a near-weekly basis, and I’d love to bring my ideas to those projects.
In fact, here are a few complimentary concept ideas you could use in the meantime, Costco. Cookies and cream stuffed croissant, homemade Oreos, and one giant cinnamon roll the size of the bake sheet you currently display your pastries on. I could riff on this all day! Anyway, returning to the point, here are five of the new items you can find at Costco this week.
Kirkland Signature Maple-Pecan Coffee Cake
What a stunning creation to pull out during autumn. Costco bakery, you’ve nailed it once again. This maple-pecan coffee cake not only sounds incredibly delicious, but it’s also the ideal item for a quick breakfast in the morning or a simple dessert to cap off the day. Think of it as a tiny sandwich, with maple-pecan coffee cake serving as the bread and our adventures as the filling in the middle.
Kahiki Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl
Here’s another standout find from Costco. A straightforward meal that you can heat up in moments. For the evenings when you don’t feel like wrestling with a mountain of ingredients from your last shopping trip, grab this chicken and rice bowl with teriyaki sauce and tuck it away for a rainy day.
Cornish Sea Salt Celtic Sea Salt Variety Pack
Boost your meals in a pinch—quite literally, with a pinch of salt. This sea salt assortment includes three flavors: smoky (sea salt infused with oak, apple, and cherry woods), Celtic flakes (a classic finishing salt), and very garlicky (sea salt paired with roasted garlic). The timing of this release at Costco feels perfectly aligned with the upcoming cooking season. Add these salts to elevate the feasts you’re planning in the months ahead.
Calbee Harvest Snaps Lightly Salted Crispy Baked Veggie Snacks
We’re in for some serious eating in the near future, so this arrives right on time. Harvest Snaps’ lightly salted, crispy baked veggie snacks from Costco feel like a blessing. Now that I think about it, could these make a spot on the Thanksgiving table? They’d fit right in and offer a welcome break from the deeper-fried fare. It’s worth considering.
Synear Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Synear has done it again. They’ve introduced a comforting braised beef noodle soup to Costco that brings warmth straight to your bowl. The dish features tender braised beef, crisp vegetables, springy noodles, and a rich broth, all ready in about five minutes. This one might be a touch heavy for a workday lunch, so it’s probably best saved for dinner.
