8 of the Best Costco Snacks You Haven’t Tried

Bobo’s Oat Bites can be a great mid-morning snack on those days when you can’t wait to dig into your lunch. Alternatively, consider it the lighter replacement for a Little Debbie dessert cake. The bites come in apple and strawberry flavors and you can load up on them in packs of 24 at a time—that’s almost a whole month of lunches.

We all knew that one kid in high school who was snacking on jerky in class nonstop. Let that kid inspire you: keep a pack of Golden Island Pork Snacks at your desk to feed your nervous nibbling. At Costco you can grab a 12-pack of the Korean Barbecue flavor to add a savory punch to your snack drawer.

You’re busy and important, you don’t have the time to dip your pretzels into peanut butter like you did when you were a kid. That’s why Quinn went ahead and put the peanut butter inside its pretzels. If peanut butter’s not your thing, these snacks also come filled with plant-based cheese and maple almond butter, all available in eight-packs. These are a great option for anyone with dietary restrictions, because all the snacks are gluten-free.

It’s the hot sauce enthusiast’s dilemma: you’d love to put Tapatio on everything you eat, but must avoid the potential of getting your keyboard saucy. For the heat-seeking snacker, a pack of Tapatio Mixed Nuts is the safer way to add a kick to your lunch. Think of this as a spicy upgrade to the Chex Mix snack packs of your cafeteria days.

Seaweed can be a hard sell for a kid if they’ve never tried it; to the veggie-averse, the color might evoke steamed greens and present an immediate ick factor. But once you snack, you’ll never go back. If the numerous seaweed-centric mukbang videos on TikTok are any indication, Ocean’s Halo Organic Seaweed Snack is just darn fun to eat. It’s a perfect light bite to go with any meal and comes in 24-packs of sea salt and chili lime flavors at Costco.

These two-ingredient fruit bars are like one giant fruit snack, a compact and satisfying swap for whole or sliced fruit that feeds a sweet tooth. This is a great option for your desk drawer, purse, or lunch bag, and it’s a snack you can easily slip into your kid’s lunch box as well—a real utility player in your pantry.

The Sea Temple Snacks Almond & Cashew Anchovies are not for the faint of heart—full fish, faces and all, are visible through the clear plastic wrapping. But if you decide you’re still in after taking a glance, then prepare for an umami bomb that’s unlike any lunch room snack you’ve had before. These gluten-free bites come in packs of 20.

No matter how old you are, it’s only right that you end every bagged lunch experience with a sweet treat. Costco’s individually wrapped packs of Pocky Sticks are not only a perfect bite to cap off a meal but are compact and easy to slip into any lunch bag. With the Costco variety pack you can try chocolate, strawberry, and cookies and cream; whichever flavor you like the least can easily be pawned off on your children.
