"We wait all year for certain seasonal treats to appear at our local Costco stores, and one of our favorites has just been spotted. Costco's Kirkland Signature Peppermint Bark is back - at least at one Tustin, California location. It was from there that Instagram's Costco Love posted a video of a store display of Peppermint Bark on October 18."
"While fans still rush to Costco to purchase Peppermint Bark each year, they have noticed a change in its quality. It seems to be another victim of shrinkflation, as customers have noted that each piece is thinner and smaller than in previous years. One customer posted on the r/Costco subreddit in 2023, "I'm immeasurably disappointed in Costco's change in their peppermint bark.""
Costco's Kirkland Signature Peppermint Bark has returned to at least one Tustin, California warehouse, with an Instagram video showing a store display on October 18. The confection combines dark and white chocolate coated in peppermint candy crumbles. The product earned top ranking among Costco holiday desserts for its blend of seasonal scents and flavors and its appeal at holiday gatherings. Evidence so far shows availability mainly at the Tustin location, but most warehouses typically stock it by late October or early November. In recent years customers have reported shrinkflation, noting thinner, smaller pieces and a perceived drop in freshness and quality.
