These Chocolate Crepes At Costco Have Reddit Divided
When it comes to Costco, we can usually count on them to have tasty products for a low price, like mini snickerdoodle cakes or any of their food items that have cult followings. However, sometimes even the most reliable stores have some products that don't meet expectations, and based on a post in the Costco subreddit, customers aren't enjoying some packaged crepes filled with chocolate and hazelnut, as pictured above.
Nutella crepes might be a classic, but the caption of the Reddit post reads, "Disappointed with the chocolate crepes – they taste very artificial." Many Reddit users and Costco fans agreed, with one writing, "Can't get rid of them. Thought my kids would like'em. Alas, I'm stuck trying to at least eat a few. Almost tastes like paper." Someone else said, "Yup, like construction paper with a hint of hazelnut spread." But a few people pointed out that they weren't expecting the quality of a fresh crepe from one that was already packaged, saying, "And it's not like they are expensive. I kinda like them, but I wasn't expecting something homemade so..." Others suggested popping them in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Despite the common opinion that shoppers should pass on these crepes, some commenters did mention their kids enjoying the crepes and that these chocolate crepes are "one of their favorite snacks to grab for school." Based on the comments, not all children are willing to snack on these, but the pre-packaging is part of the convenience.
