The New Costco Bakery Item That Shoppers—and Employees—Are Raving About

If you have yet to make your first trip to Costco of the new year, now might be about time to go for a visit. The popular bulk warehouse club pushed out dozens of fan-favorite releases in 2023 and the retail giant is quickly making moves to top their already impressive track record. And with our current list of Best Costco Finds in January already making its rounds online, members who have a sweet tooth are not going to want to pass up Costco’s latest bakery offering.

The newest bakery treat to bless the oversized aisles of everybody's favorite bulk warehouse is the 4-pound Triple Chocolate Cream Pie, and it arrived just in time for the post-holiday break we all needed. This decadent 3-layer offering features a buttery graham cracker crust, a fudge brownie layer, and fluffy chocolate custard with a generous helping of whipped topping and chocolate shavings on top. This absolute behemoth of a pie retails for $19.99, and while some customers seem to think the price point is a bit steep, Costco employees on the inside are raving about the new bakery treat.

In a post shared to Instagram about the chocolatey new pie, the creator behind Costco Hot Finds mentions how, at checkout, Costco employees were “raving about it,” and claimed that they “weren't wrong.” The pie’s whipped topping is being described as “fluffy and soft,” and all it takes is a quick browse through the comment section to see just how dangerous buying this pie might be.

“Four pounds is insane,” one commenter wrote, “I’ll take seven of them.” Another offered a helpful solution in hopes Costco would adopt a new method of serving their pies, suggesting the retailer sells them “by the slice” at the food court. “If I buy that I'm going to eat the whole 4 pounds in 2 days.”

Anybody who battles a constant sweet tooth knows just how tempting a pie like this can be. So if Costco’s Triple Chocolate Cream Pie is striking a specific chord with you, tread forward with caution because you might find yourself devouring all four pounds quicker than you’d like to admit. However, if you decided to take advantage of Costco’s 12-piece Bentgo Glass Food Storage Set, you could split this pie up into separate containers and hide them behind other items in your fridge. But remember, the sweet tooth gets what the sweet tooth wants, so be brave and hold strong—or maybe take the advice of one clever Redditor: "I buy Costco pies and take them into work. That way I can eat just one piece AND everyone thinks I am doing them a favor."
