Death, taxes, and Costco’s iconic peppermint bark making a comeback—that’s the trio of constants you can count on. While the decision to bring back the peppermint bark feels a bit ahead of schedule, plenty of shoppers will be thrilled to see it return. I won’t keep you waiting any longer. Here are the new items gracing Costco this week, with the peppermint bark taking center stage.

Cacao Market by MarieBelle New York Dark Chocolate Truffles

As the holiday season approaches, this could be the ideal moment to unveil a Costco-sized stash of rich chocolate treats. This online-exclusive offer from Cacao Market includes 150 dark chocolate truffles, which is certainly a generous amount to enjoy. The upside is that they’re packaged in boxes of fifty, making it easy to share with three special people in your life.

Kirkland Signature Peppermint Bark

The festive period has arrived in full force! The Kirkland Signature peppermint bark has finally returned to shelves. It might feel a touch early since Halloween hasn’t even happened yet, but the comeback is welcome. This item is a Costco staple for good reason—it’s tasty, dependable, and makes a fantastic snack for holiday gatherings.

Tyson Spooky Chicken Nuggets

A little Halloween flair never hurt—this is about the fact that you can find eerie-shaped chicken nuggets and peppermint bark side by side at Costco. Time seems to blur seasonal lines these days! If your child is tired of dinosaur-shaped bites, these Tyson nuggets could provide a fresh alternative.

Chad & Barney’s Sturdy Garlic & Herb Pasta Sauce

I’m not totally sold on the “sturdy sauce” label, but packing 80 grams of protein into a single pasta sauce jar is no small feat, so I’ll acknowledge the achievement. If you’re after easy ways to add more protein to your meals from Costco, this jar is a straightforward option to pop into your cart—just handle the glass carefully to avoid breakage.

Edward Marc Everything Bagel Asiago Pretzels

Is it salty, or is it sweet? It’s hard to tell. These pretzels are coated with a cream infused with everything-bagel seasoning and Asiago cheese. Will that flavor combo mask the sweetness of the cream, or enhance it? I’m a touch hesitant to find out. If you pick these up, please share how they actually taste.
