Viral Costco cookie blends childhood favorites into one: 'Out of this world'
Costco customers are going wild over an indulgent new cookie flavor that combines nostalgic flavors of childhood into one gooey and chewy dessert. Kirkland Signature Marshmallow Crispy Cookies hit the shelves earlier this month and have gone viral, with members racing to the wholesaler to grab the 24-count box of cookies, which cost $9.99 in stores. "To me, it's the perfect combo of a sugar cookie and a Rice Krispies Treat," Laura Lamb, the creator and owner of the Costco Hot Finds fan page, said in a TikTok video. "It's chewy but with a little crunch and just out of this world." "Just got these and they're AMAZING," one TiKToker commented on Lamb's video — which got over 2 million views on the social media platform. "This is enough to start my Costco membership back up," another said of the latest marshmallow twist. "I work in the bakery," another person commented. "They're SO good! At first, I was disappointed we didn't get s'mores back," she added, referring to another fan favorite. Some lamented there wasn't a 24-pack of their beloved white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, while others stood by Costco's tried-and-true chocolate chip variety. Others said they were a bit too sweet for their liking, while one man thought they'd be better with chocolate chips. "Initially, when I first saw them, I actually thought that too, but trust me, they do not," Lamb replied to him. Angela Ackerman, who runs the social media account Costco Guides, said she was hesitant about the new cookie option at first. "I didn't know what to expect, but these are so delicious," Ackerman said in a TikTok post. "They have a brown butter dough, marshmallows for chewiness and crispy rice cereal for a crunch for only $9.99. Grab them." Another TikTok user described them as if "a Rice Krispy treat and an oatmeal cookie had a baby." Hundreds of Costco lovers took to the Reddit forum dedicated to the big-box store to discuss the recent drop. Some suggested popping the baked goods into the microwave or air fryer for a few seconds. Overall, internet users were all for the trendy treat. "Bought these once and can never buy them again … They are too good," one person on Reddit said. "Straight into the top 4 best cookies of my life," another wrote. The marshmallow cookies join a grocery list of other Costco items released this summer, including the Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Bar Cake and the frozen strawberry lemonade.

Costco debuts new frozen strawberry lemonade as members share mixed reviews: 'Too tart'
The new Costco food court beverage item seems to have arrived just in time for summer. Costco members on a popular Instagram page dedicated to the Washington-based wholesale club are sharing their thoughts about the new frozen strawberry lemonade drink. The frozen strawberry lemonade costs $2.99, has 250 calories and is made with real fruit and no artificial flavors or colors, according to its promotional poster above Costco food court counters. A recent video on the Instagram page Costco Hot Finds touts the new drink. "This one is so good and it's so refreshing," content creator Laura Jayne Lamb said in the video voiceover. Fox News Digital reached out to Costco Hot Finds for additional comment. "The strawberry banana was way better." Costco members seemed to be divided about the drink, with comments ranging from "just ok" to "AWESOME." "The strawberry banana was way better," one commenter said. "Had one. It's a bit tart so be prepared! But refreshing," another commenter said. "I want the churro back," yet another commenter remarked. The frozen strawberry lemonade seemingly took the place of the strawberry banana smoothie, which debuted earlier this year. Costco members on a Reddit page devoted to Costco gossip also sounded off about the new drink. "It's good but too sweet for me," one person wrote. Another Reddit user agreed. "It's a little too tart for me." "It's a little too tart for me," the person wrote. "The strawberries were nice. It's just the strawberries from the sundae, but it's a nice touch." Reddit user "5BoysMom13grands" shared a story about a recent encounter with a friend who was coming out of Costco with "an almost empty cup with a small amount of red chunks in the bottom." 5BoysMom13grands "asked her what it was since it wasn't the usual smoothie or the new strawberry/banana option" and learned about the new drink. She said she was inspired to order two – one for her and one for her husband – and tried to drink it on the way home, but "the fruit kept getting stuck." "No matter how much I blew out the straw I could only get a partial sip or so," 5BoysMom13grands wrote. "I got home and we kept trying to drink it. I finally said, give me your drink, I dropped it into the Vitamix and wham, bam, now I have something I can drink. Honestly for $6.59 for two drinks, I won't be doing this again!" Costco has made headlines for its food court changes in recent years. The fan-favorite combo pizza was recently revived as the "Combo Calzone," stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives and mushrooms. In January, Costco announced it would be replacing Pepsi products with Coca-Cola fountain drinks later this year. The popular churro was discontinued in early 2024. Fox News Digital reached out to Costco for comment on the latest food court drink.
