Costco is a holiday wonderland of treats, and these Kirkland Signature Crêpes are only available during the festive season. The crêpes bring together the crunch of an authentic French crêpe combined with smooth milk chocolate. They’re even produced in France so you’re getting the real deal. Are they worthy of a spot on your Costco Christmas shopping list?
Location in Store
These are located in the Christmas section at Costco near all the other seasonal chocolates and cookies. The item number is 1324764.
Taste
Some people may think these are more like a cookie and others might say they’re a crispy chocolate. I see them as a very light, simple cookie. They’re very flaky and crispy and kind of fall apart when you bite into them. The crêpes aren’t too sweet or heavy and the quality of the chocolate seems to be pretty good.
Due to the simplicity of the crêpes, the chocolate really stands out. Basically picture a very, very thin, crisp wafer cookie coated in luscious smooth milk chocolate. The crêpe portion reminds me of the flavor of a fortune cookie except way thinner and lighter.
Cost
The crêpes originally cost $9.99 Canadian in 2018 and are now $13.99 Canadian. They come in a pretty box and you get two separate packages of cookies. You get about 84 crêpes with 42 cookies in each package.
These are from France and in 2018 they were made using Belgian chocolate but now the box states it’s just milk chocolate. $13.99 isn’t outrageous but they’re not as cheap as they used to be!
Convenience
The pretty Christmas themed box comes with two packages of crêpes. The best before date is about nine months from when I purchased them. I recommend storing them in a cool, dry place because the chocolate will definitely melt. It melts in your hands as you’re eating them.
I don’t recommend giving these to a toddler unless they’re seated somewhere over a table or plate because they will get flakes everywhere as they take their tiny bites. I learned this the hard way. However, my daughter absolutely loved them. I think these will be great served with gelato or ice cream or as a light sweet treat with coffee or tea.

The ingredients list is really short and simple which I appreciate. These are basically made of milk chocolate, flour, sugar, butter, milk, salt and baking soda. The crepes contain wheat, barley, milk and soy.
