An awesome item for the summer!
Please note that this review was not paid for or sponsored by any third party. I purchased this product with my own money and the opinions in this review are strictly my own. I am not affiliated with Costco or any of its suppliers. I am just a fan of the company. I write these reviews to help my fellow shoppers.
Taste
OH man, these are good. If you like chocolate, almonds and creamy vanilla ice cream you’ll enjoy these. If you don’t like almonds you might not love these because they’re totally covered in tasty little almond pieces. The vanilla ice cream on the inside is sweet, creamy and flavorful. The milk chocolate on the outside doesn’t taste cheap and is rich and chocolaty. The almonds on the outside add a nice crunchiness and nutty flavor. These are so simple yet so tasty and I think many would enjoy the taste of these (as long as they don’t have a nut allergy, lactose allergy or dislike chocolate).
Cost
These aren’t exactly cheap, but they do taste like high-quality ice cream. Regular price is $14.99 Canadian for 18 bars.
Convenience
The Costco Kirkland Signature Vanilla Almond Ice Cream Bars would be perfect for a work BBQ, a potluck, a park get together, a backyard party or just to have at home to enjoy all summer long. The box is a bit big but you could always get rid of the box if you don’t have room in your deep freeze.
Nutrition
Treats like these are meant to be enjoyed and calories should be ignored! Right?! Okay well if you want to know each bar is 280 calories, 21 grams of fat (healthy fat from the almonds?), 22 grams of carbs, four grams of protein, 20 grams of sugar and 40 mg of sodium.
I have a huge box to last me through summer and I fear that Costco probably will only have this out for a short time. I enjoyed these a lot and would recommend them to anyone who loves the chocolate, almond, vanilla ice cream combo.
Taste: 9/10

What’s your favorite kind of ice cream treat to have during the summer?!
US box bought in 2024 shows:
“Contains a Bioengineered Food Ingredient.”
That is, at least one GMO (Genetically Modified Organism).
Haagen Daz equivalent product does not have such a label (yet).
No shit good to know I’ll cheek Canadians label
These are no longer good at all. The “ice cream” tastes like glue or worse. They should fire the moron that ruined what was a nice treat.
I agree taste like glue, made me sick after eating one.
They are inexpensive… less than $1 a bar and are very tasty. Well worth the price. 280 calories is a lot but at least you’re getting lots of taste for those calories. Can’t imagine why anyone complained.
I don’t know what ice cream bars you guys are talking about because the Kirkland ice creams I’ve tried taste like crap. It doesn’t even taste like the Al ice cream and the chocolate coating is mediocre.
I agree! I actually thought it wasn’t real ice cream.
8/21/2021 I bought these today. So good. Good quality ice cream and chocolate and almond chips all over it.
NON AT COVENTRY DO I HAVE TO GET THEM FROM BIRMINGHAM THESE BEAT ANY OTHER BOTH IN TASTE AND PRICE
These are great and a cheaper but still tasty version of the Haagen Daz! I also re-used the nice box they come in, in my freezer to hold my ziplocked packages of various meats from Costco!
They are better than Haggen Daz Imo
Exactly! I came here to say this. Better value, and they just taste better. The Haagen Daz was on sale for the same price, so we tried them out even though they are 15 to a box v Kirkland’s 18 to a box. Everyone in my family said that they were small and bland compared to Kirkland. And not as chocolatey. We’ll stick to these!
