Costco has never shied away from delivering mammoth-sized products for a fraction of the cost of other retailers. From hefty ceviche platters to blueberry pies big enough to serve 12 people, Costco always finds a way to combine massive portions with budget-friendly value.
To that end, Costco has once again caught shoppers’ attention with the return of a fan-favorite summer bakery item. According to several new posts across social media, the warehouse club just brought back its beloved Kirkland Signature Caramel Flan, giving customers just one more product to pick up on their next trip to Costco.
A cost-friendly twist on a classic Spanish delicacy
As more seasoned Costco members might recall, the store’s Caramel Flan remained a cherished seasonal dessert that first gained widespread Internet attention back in 2022. In the years that followed, Costco sporadically brought back the beloved bakery item, with the brand reintroducing the dessert to stores earlier this month.
Inspired by the classic caramel-topped custard dessert popular throughout Spain and Latin America, Costco’s version gives flan a richer twist with a cream cheese custard topped with silky caramel sauce. The result is a creamy, dense dessert that’s sure to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth.
What’s more, for just $14.99 per package, the dessert delivers a whopping 3 pounds of gooey caramel goodness, making it a great option for any parties, celebrations, or summer barbecues you might have planned in the near future.
Online shoppers are jumping for joy about the item’s return
Given the item’s significant popularity in the past, it should hardly come as a surprise that shoppers have greeted the news of the Caramel Flan’s return with avid excitement.
“I’ve had the Flan from Costco the last few years. It is delicious!” one account commented on Instagram. “Fingers crossed my Costco will get it back!”
“This looks so rich and creamy… definitely trying this one,” another user added.
As enthusiastic as many of these responses were, one fan’s response to the news perhaps summarized our feelings to a T: “I’m really trying to lose weight, bro. Come on!”
Bottom line
As delicious and perfectly suited for summer as Costco’s Caramel Flan sounds, it’s worth mentioning that there’s no telling how long the warehouse will keep the dessert supplied in nationwide stores.
If members’ overwhelmingly positive response to the flan is any indication, though, shoppers might want to think about getting their hands on the brand’s treasured treat before it once again disappears for the season!
