Costco Just Combined Two Favorite Pastries—and Shoppers Are Hooked

Costco’s assortment of packaged desserts have always found a way to satisfy shoppers, consistently delivering above-average sweets for below-average prices. As great as many of these bakery items are, the beloved warehouse supply brand might very well have added its most exciting pastry yet in recent weeks.

According to members across social media, Costco has officially expanded its dessert lineup with CT Bakery’s new Mini Croissant Donuts. A unique cross between two iconic breakfast pastries, the Mini Croissant Donuts strike a fine balance between flaky and buttery croissants and rich, satisfyingly dense donuts. Through this delicious combination, Costco manages to once again outdo itself when it comes to standout treats ideal for breakfast, dessert, or a midafternoon snack.

What exactly is a Mini Croissant Donut, anyway?

As the name might suggest, the Mini Croissant Donuts are a cross between traditional French croissants and classic American-style donuts. The resulting pastry features the layered texture of a croissant, all the while retaining the distinct circular shape and signature sweetness of a donut.

While croissant donuts—also known as “cronuts”—have gained significant popularity in recent years, Costco’s new version of the dessert offers a bite-sized alternative to the viral treat. Taking inspiration from some of the more common donut flavors you’ll find in stores, Costco’s new treats specifically feature a mix of 10 glazed and 10 cinnamon sugar pastries. Perhaps most excitingly, the warehouse is currently selling the donuts for just $9.99 per package, making it a must-try item for any shoppers with a strong sweet tooth and/or a hankering for a budget-friendly breakfast.

The new treat’s arrival has shoppers ‘singing’ for joy

As expected from a dessert with as delicious a description as this, it should hardly come as a surprise that the new Mini Croissant Donuts have gained significant attention on social media. On Instagram, numerous posters shared their excitement about the new product, commenting that they planned on grabbing the pastries upon their next visit to Costco.

“Omg this looks so good. Definitely adding this to my cart!” one fan wrote. Another user humorously remarked, “My wallet is crying but my stomach is singing.” Our sentiments exactly!

Availability may vary

Like most Costco items, availability for the brand-new desserts vary from one store location to the next. While most Costcos are currently stocking up on the decadent treats, some shoppers might find their nearest warehouse without any Mini Croissant Donuts in their store’s inventory. With that being said, it’s highly recommended that you navigate to Costco’s website or app to see if your local store has the product in stock.

Sadly, there’s no way to tell how long Costco will sell the Mini Croissant Donuts. So if you’re interested in a quick, easy, altogether delicious snack, you might want to get your hands on these remarkable sweet treats sooner rather than later!
