Calling all sweet treat lovers! If your cupboards are always overflowing with all kinds of confections, you’re in good company. We’ve been known to make our own rock candy now and again, and even we non-New Englanders hunger for the occasional batch of maple candy. Whether you buy or make your own, few saccharine treats are as decadently sweet as one masterpiece—the mother of all treats: fudge.
And before you say, “Well, I’m not a big chocolate person,” that’s still no reason not to indulge in fudge. Fudge doesn’t always need to be chocolate-flavored. From holiday-themed candy cane fudge to the textural marvel of maple walnut fudge, plenty of chocolate and non-chocolate fudge flavors are at the disposal of anyone with even the slightest sweet tooth.
Are you a fudge fan looking for the best of both worlds? Luckily, you don’t have to get creative in your kitchen to enjoy some otherworldly fudge—especially if you’re a Costco member.
Costco’s New Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge
The newest addition to Costco’s bakery section is a layered fudge with a rich, chocolate base supporting a thick layer of peanut butter fudge, tastefully decorated with a thin crosshatch pattern on top. Trust us, if you love anything aesthetic, you definitely won’t want to miss Costco’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge on your next trip to the store.
Even more tempting than the swirly sweet is the price of the fudge: $14.99 for 25 ounces. (Yes, really.) One happy Redditor mentioned, “$9.59 a pound is probably the best price for fudge I’ve seen in 10 years.”
Best of all, shoppers seem to love it, even suggesting that it reminds them of the fan-loved peanut butter chocolate cream pie in an Instagram post. Those who have tried the fudge generally rave about its sweet taste, which doesn’t veer into cloying. One Reddit user suggested it’s the perfect wintertime comfort snack, saying, “Phenomenal fudge. Had a rough day the other day and ate three pieces.”
Even if you’re not the biggest chocolate fan, there’s a good chance you’ll still enjoy it. When a YouTuber, The Grocery Lady, tried the fudge, she remarked on the subtlety of the chocolate layer. Then she noted that the peanut butter layer tastes like real peanut butter rather than the subpar flavoring found in many sweets.
If you’re looking for a simple solution to your sugar craving, Costco’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge may do just the trick. Its ample peanut butter flavor, gentle chocolate appeal, and absolutely game-changing price make it a win in our books. Like many new bakery releases, we don’t know how long this will stick around—our best advice is to try it yourself and decide whether to stock up before it’s gone.
