Everyone talks about the same popular Costco snacks—but honestly, some of the best finds are the ones people completely overlook.
These are the underrated snacks I keep coming back to. Some are convenient for busy days, some feel a little more elevated (without the high price tag), and a few are just straight-up addictive. If you’re tired of buying the same things on repeat, you might discover a few new favorites to add to your Costco shopping list.
Kirkland Steak Strips
When you want something savory that actually feels filling, these are a go-to. They’re tender, flavorful, and less tough than typical jerky, which makes them easier to snack on. Great for road trips, busy afternoons, or whenever you need something with a little more substance than chips.
Go Raw Organic Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds
You’ll love these Go Raw Organic Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds if you’re looking for a cleaner, protein-packed snack. They’re the perfect snack when you need something quick and healthy.
Beretta Antipasto Pack
This is one of those snacks that feels a little fancy without any effort. With calabrese, pepper-coated salami, Italian dry salami, and prosciutto, you can throw together a quick snack board in minutes—or just grab a few slices straight from the pack. It’s perfect for entertaining or upgrading your everyday snacking.
Built Puff Protein Bars
If you’re picky about protein bars, these might surprise you. They’re light, fluffy, and have a soft, almost marshmallow-like texture with a chocolate coating. Instead of tasting dense or chalky, they feel more like a treat.
FitJoy Pretzels
This variety pack keeps things interesting with sea salt, tangy Dijon mustard, and everything bagel flavors. They’re crunchy, flavorful, and a great alternative to basic pretzels. The Dijon mustard flavor is my personal favorite—it’s tangy, bold, and honestly highly addictive. Perfect for packing in lunches or keeping in the pantry when you’re craving for a salty snack.
Wafflemeister Wafflebites
These feel like a hidden dessert find- bite-sized waffles dipped in chocolate make them a fun and indulgent snack that’s still easy to portion. They’re great for satisfying a sweet tooth without committing to a full dessert.
Doritos NKD Cool Ranch
All the bold Cool Ranch flavor you love, but made with a simpler ingredient list. These are great if you still want Doritos cool ranch but with a slightly better-for-you twist. Honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference once you start snacking.
Lesser Evil Garlic Parmesan Popcorn
Light, airy, and packed with flavor, this popcorn is one of those snacks you don’t realize you love until the bag is gone. The garlic parmesan combo is savory and addictive without feeling too heavy, making it perfect for movie nights or afternoon snacking.
Kirkland Milk Chocolate Covered Almonds
This is one of Costco’s most underrated sweet treats. It’s the kind of snack you can keep in the pantry for “just a handful”… even though it’s hard to stop there.
Petite Cuisine Mozzarella Sticks
These Petite Cuisine Mozzarella Sticks are my kids’ favorite, and they make such a great after school snack when you need something a little more filling. Even better, they’re super easy to prep—just toss them in the air fryer and they’re ready in minutes.
Creative Snacks Co. Strawberry & Yogurt Pretzels
These Strawberry and Yogurt pretzels are always a hit. The strawberry and yogurt coating adds just the right amount of sweetness, making them feel like a treat while still being easy to snack on any time of day.
Junkless Chewy Granola Bars
These Junkless Chewy Granola bars are made with ingredients you can recognize, making them a great snack for both kids and adults. You can get both chocolate chip and birthday cake flavors in one box.
Cascadian Farm Blueberry Almond Soft Baked Bars
I actually tried these as a sample first and immediately had to buy a bag—they’re that good. Definitely one of those underrated finds you don’t expect to love as much as you do.
Tipiak French Macarons
These feel like a bakery splurge without the bakery price. For the quality and variety you get, it’s actually a really good deal at Costco. The box includes a mix of milk chocolate, pistachio, lemon, strawberry and cream, passion fruit, and French vanilla, so there’s something for everyone.
Firehook Crackers
Simple ingredients, great crunch, and incredibly versatile. These crackers pair perfectly with cheese, dips, or that antipasto pack, making them a staple for easy snacking or last-minute entertaining.

These individually packaged chocolate chip mini muffins are perfect for quick snacks on the go. Plus, they’re made in a nut-free facility, which makes them a safe choice for families.

Sometimes you need a snack that’s a little more filling, and these individual pizzas do the job. With both pepperoni and cheese pizzas, they’re convenient, quick to make, and perfect for busy after school snacks.
Setton Farms Shelled Pistachios
No shells means no mess, which makes these easy to snack on. They’re fresh, crunchy, and perfect for keeping in your bag and at your desk.
Purely Elizabeth Salty-Sweet Granola
This granola hits that perfect balance of sweet and salty. Made with organic ingredients, it works just as well sprinkled over yogurt as it does eaten by the handful straight from the bag.
Kirkland Raspberry Filled Sugar Cookies
Soft, buttery, and filled with a sweet raspberry jelly center, these cookies are highly addictive. This is now one of my favorite Costco bakery items—they’re that good. It’s part cake, part sugar cookie, and part jelly donut all in one, you’ve got to try it to know it.
Babybel Cheese
A classic that never gets old. These individually wrapped cheeses are creamy, mild, and perfectly portioned, which makes them ideal for lunchboxes, quick snacks, or even a little protein boost between meals. The 36 count pack is usually one of the best prices you’ll find, so it’s an easy snack to stock up on.
