You never quite know what Costco will roll out next, and this week the retailer pulled off a surprising revival by bringing back a beloved item that had been off shelves for more than two years. A delightful blast from the past, for sure. Alongside this long-lost favorite, a full slate of snacks is arriving in stores in the coming weeks. Exactly what you want as the new school year begins—and a little something for the latchkey kids to munch on while you’re finishing up at work.

Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Return

Although it isn’t as flashy as the other weekly reveals, this development deserves a headline. Costco has finally reintroduced its Kirkland Signature semi-sweet chips after a two-year absence. What did the bulk baking crowd do in the meantime? Fortunately, they don’t have to endure those bored, chip-less days any longer!

Counter Taco Mac & Cheese 4-Pack

There’s plenty to like in this latest Costco drop. For starters, it features taco-flavored mac and cheese. Each frozen meal cup includes seasoned ground beef, cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, and a taco-inspired sauce. They clock in at 350 calories per serving yet deliver 30 grams of protein. Grab these to take the guesswork out of “what’s for lunch?”

Churn Grass-Fed Garlic & Shallot Butter

It’s hard to imagine something I wouldn’t want to pair with Churn’s garlic and shallot butter. Pasta immediately comes to mind. Popcorn becomes an irresistible savory treat. And it’s versatile enough to melt into any pan on the stovetop to elevate your cooking. Envision a juicy steak basted with this butter from Costco.

Reese’s Sweet & Salty Variety Pack

Costco isn’t stopping at last week’s cinnamon treats; this sweet-and-salty Reese’s assortment looks like a dream come true. Inside you’ll discover peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces, filled pretzels with peanut butter filling, dipped animal crackers, and dipped pretzels—all from the Reese’s brand.

Dot’s Pretzels Honey Chipotle Pretzel Twists

Costco has introduced a new Dot’s Pretzels flavor this week. With football season around the corner, these would be perfect for game-day gatherings. Keep plenty of salty bites on hand so friends have extra reasons to reach for a cold drink to wash them down!
