Costco’s best selling summer treat is back: Now with new flavors causing a buzz

Costco ice cream sandwiches are incredibly popular as brands like Nightingale are known for using premium ingredients. This often includes high butterfat ice cream (making it extra creamy), freshly baked, chewy cookies, and natural, sometimes even GMO-free and nut-free, ingredients. This focus on quality elevates them above standard grocery store ice cream sandwiches.

Costco often carries unique and exciting flavors that become viral hits, like Nightingale’s “Cookie Monster” or the recent “Strawberry Shortcake” ice cream sandwiches. These distinct flavors generate buzz and excitement among shoppers.

True to Costco’s model, these ice cream sandwiches are typically sold in large multi-packs (e.g., 18 “chomp-sized” sandwiches). This offers a significantly better price per sandwich compared to buying smaller packs at other retailers, making them a very attractive deal for families or frequent consumers.

Often, certain flavors or pack sizes are exclusive to Costco or have limited availability (e.g., only on the East Coast for a period). This creates a sense of urgency and desirability, with shoppers rushing to get them before they sell out, contributing to their “cult-favorite” status.

When a particular ice cream sandwich hits Costco shelves, it often goes viral on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Shoppers share their excitement, review the products, and encourage others to try them, further fueling demand and popularity.

Now, with summer just around the corner, a refreshing Strawberry Shortcake flavor is set to hit the Costco shelves. Fans can look forward to a creamy strawberry ice cream filling nestled between two brown sugar cookies, making for a seasonal treat that’s perfect for hot afternoons.
