These Limited-Edition Ritz Are the ‘Best Thing at Costco Right Now’

Your Costco membership can score you all kinds of seasonal goodies right now, from exclusive Toblerone gems to cannoli kits and chocolate-coated gummy treats. Not to mention all the delicious desserts coming straight from Costco’s in-house bakery—the new muffin flavors, the five-pound pumpkin cheesecake, and the latest show-stopping layer cake.

But even in the sea of holiday sweets, customers are still claiming a top pick (that wasn’t previously mentioned). It’s a seasonal classic that’s hitting Costco shelves for the very first time, even though it’s been a fan favorite for over a decade.

Ritz Fudge-Covered Crackers Are Now at Costco 

Ritz crackers are already one of our favorite pantry staples, but during the holidays, they get even better. How? With a rich fudge coating that delivers a salty, sweet, buttery, and downright irresistible bite.

“Ritz crackers were already good, now you add chocolate to them…c’mon man!” said one reviewer.

Now, these limited-edition crackers are available at Costco, just in time to sweeten up your last-minute holiday shopping. “Best thing at Costco right now are the fudge-covered Ritz crackers,” one customer raved. “Thank me later.”

These treats are the ultimate holiday shortcut. No need to gather your own ingredients and dirty your kitchen with melted chocolate (yes, we know how much of a mess it can be), Ritz already nailed the perfect ratio of salty to sweet. The fudge layer is thick enough to add texture but not so overpowering that it hides the crisp, salty cracker beneath. It’s pure snack magic, and once you start, it’s hard to stop.

Although these fudge-covered Ritz crackers have been around for over a decade, this is the first time we’ve spotted them at Costco. And you know what that means—bigger packs at an unbeatable price. For $9.99, you get a Costco-sized box with three regular-sized packages inside. Considering how many customers have admitted to finishing a whole package in one sitting, it’s a good thing there’s more than one inside.

And, according to fans, the salty-sweet treats have been notoriously difficult to find through the years. “I had some years ago! I can NEVER find them now!” one customer lamented. So, Costco customers: when you see ‘em, snag ‘em.

These limited-edition Ritz are perfectly satisfying on their own, but they’re also a great starting point for creative holiday desserts, like these Salted Caramel Ritz Cookies. Customers have used them to make sandwich cookies filled with peanut butter or marshmallow fluff or even layered them into a retro icebox cake.

“Salty sweet heaven!” one fan exclaimed. Another summed it up perfectly: “Chocolate and Ritz crackers is an amazing combo.”

So, if your next stroll through the Costco sweets department needs a little more direction, take this as your sign to track down the fudge-covered Ritz before they disappear for the season. Skip them, and you might just miss out on one of Costco’s best treats of the year.
