Addictive dark chocolate sea salt caramels from Costco – it’s hard to eat just one!
Today I’m reviewing the Costco Sander Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels! These are available in the US and Eastern Canada. We were recently travelling so I picked these up to review. Hopefully, they will make their way to Western Canada soon!
Other delicious chocolates from Costco are the Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolates, CHOCXO Mini Hedgehogs, Truffettes De France Chocolate Truffles and the Costco Kirkland Signature Macadamia Clusters
Location in Store
You can find the dark chocolate sea salt caramels in the snack section near the other chocolates. The item number is 607021.
Taste
I absolutely love the Sanders Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels from Costco. I’m warning you though: they’re addictive. The caramel is nice and soft and chewy. There’s a lot more caramel than chocolate, the layer of chocolate is quite thin.
There’s not a ton of sea salt but there are definite hints of sea salt coming from the coarse sea salt that’s the outside of the chocolates. The taste is rich and decadent. I like how they’re not super sweet, they have a good amount of sweetness but I find them more rich than sweet.
Cost
The cost $11.79 Canadian at Costco, which in my opinion is actually really reasonable!
Convenience
The Sanders caramels come in a big plastic resealable tub with a screw top. This keeps them fresh for longer. The best before date is 14 months from the date we got them.
Both kids and adults love these, I recommend them as a gift or just to have around the house to offer to people for the holiday season.

Overall
Must buy!
If these were available where I live, I’d totally buy more. Even if you usually don’t like dark chocolate I still suggest trying these!
Have you tried these? What do you think of them?

I prefer the milk chocolate over the dark chocolate. I would like them better without the large salt crystals on them as well. Wish they offered them this way.
We love the MILK chocolate, but our travels seem to show that they are only available west of Denver in the USA. East of Rockies Costco only sells the DARK chocolate. They are good, but the MILK chocolate is 100X better. Why Costco doesn’t order the Sanders caramels in all stores baffles me. They are missing a lot of sales. People on the West Coast who like DARK chocolate can’t get that flavor and people in the Midwest and east can’t get the MILK chocolate. For such a smart company, this is “not smart.”
ohhhhh so DELISH….THE BEST CARMELS!!!!!!!!!!
THEY MAKE ANOTHER SMALL BATCH CALLED ‘THINS’ IN SMALL BAGS.
VERY HARD TO FIND. YOU CAN BUY ONLINE AT COSTCO OR FROM OTHERS WHO OFFER THEM. COST CO. HAS THE BEST PRICES!!!
I made the mistake and bought Sanders small batch wonders twice, never again, they suck! Chocolate is great but, the caramel is dry, dark and bizarre! It’s like molasses caramel, not real buttery creamy caramel. It’s like WTF caramel?
Sanders has been around since 1875. It’s home is in Michigan and has a full line of chocolates, cakes ect. I grew up there and we always had the cakes and candy.I live on the west coast now and miss them. I hope we do get them in BC.
I wish we could get them here in the West! I would definitely buy them again.
Yes these are tasty morsels. There’s no way I could eat 2! In fact, I wish they were smaller.
I’m in Ontario but Costco doesn’t carry the ginger cookies that you get in the west. I’d trade them in a heartbeat!
Cheers from Waterdown 😋
Well Jan I think Sanders must have red your comment. I just opened a batch from Costco and they are noticeable smaller and in my opinion not as smooth or fresh as they used to be. I really love these snacks and hope that this is a freak incident. Ill give them one more try and its either the old love or we’re breaking up. For-ever
Love them… unfortunately I have not seen them in Winnipeg Would usually pick them up in the States when we were able to travel 😢.
I found them in Ontario 🙁 I wish we’d get them in the west
