"It's always a good day when a new Costco bakery item makes its way onto store shelves, and fans of Costco's semi-recent, first-of-its-kind mini chocolate hazelnut-filled beignets are in luck. A mini caramel-filled beignet was quietly released this week, and shoppers are already obsessed and running to their local stores. These sweet dough balls were a hit from the start."
"You'll get 22 mini beignets for $9.99, which is a pretty delicious deal, and one you shouldn't pass up, according to customers. Apparently, they're dangerously good; one Instagram user said, "NO WAY!!!! These are my favorite. Looks like I'm going tomorrow!!!!" Another said, "You have to be there the day they are put out. Sell out in hours." If that doesn't convince you to run to Costco to try these, we don't know what will."
Costco released a mini caramel-filled beignet following its earlier mini chocolate hazelnut-filled beignets. The chocolate hazelnut variety first appeared as a test release in October in select Los Angeles and Bay Area stores and received enthusiastic social media reactions describing them as light, pillowy, and like Nutella inside. The caramel-filled version is sold in packs of 22 for $9.99. Customers report rapid sellouts and high demand. Some commenters argue the items resemble paczki or regular filled doughnuts rather than authentic New Orleans beignets. In New Orleans, beignets are small fried dough squares served with powdered sugar and café au lait.
