"Referred to cleverly by one Redditor as "hybread," Costco's Blueberry Caramelized Cheesecake Croissant consists of a butter croissant with a caramelized bottom that's stuffed with a cheesecake filling and topped with blueberries and butter streusel. It's hard to pin down just what category of dessert this bakery item falls under, but that's part of its allure. One Redditor proclaimed that it's "seriously a very unique pastry ... Is it a croissant? ... Is it a muffin? ... Cheesecake? ... Positively incredible, could[n't] recommend more highly.""
"The crunchy, sticky caramelized bottom, flakey croissant layers, decadent cheesecake filling, and fruity streusel topping offer a veritable symphony of textures and flavors. A Redditor wrote, "I cannot recall a Costco sweet bakery item I've enjoyed more than these. They're crunchy, soft, buttery, gooey, flavorful, and sweet." These caramelized croissants come 6 to a package, and they're quite large. Customers also say they freeze well."
