Skip the regular croissants and go right for these.

Costco’s butter croissants are legendary.
We even selected them as ourfavorite store-bought croissantin a head-to-head taste test with other croissants.

(I might have set a land-speed record.)
Now in Costcos, you’ll find almond croissants, a decidedly sweeter pastry than the original croissants.
And instead of the traditional crescent shape, these are round and stacked extra tall.

(From my estimation, they’re made in the same pan as Costco’s famous over-sized muffins.)
I tried the croissant at room temperature, right out of the box.
These pastries are every bit as flaky as you’d hope.
The outside layers shatter at first bite.
The bits of almond are a nice textural contrast to the buttery, sugary filling and pastry.
The creators of@costcoguide on Instagramdescribed these as “incredible” and “perfection.”
One commenter suggested warming the pastry in the microwave for 30 seconds.
“They are delish,” they wrote.
That’s an unbeatable bargain, especially considering how large each pastry is.
I honestly was only able to eat half before I was entirely too full.
