Lemon season isn’t over just yet.
Costco’s bakeries never miss a chance to debut a seasonal sweet treat that wows its customers. We’ve long been obsessed with desserts like the Custard Pie or the massive 4-pound Lemon Pie that Costco debuted earlier this year. Now, there’s a new contender entering the ring, and it’s all about using a summer fruit that will soon leave its peak season. The retailer is still celebrating lemon season right now, and this month’s new offering is the sweet and tangy Lemon Blondie Dessert Bars.
Costco’s Lemon Blondie Dessert Bars
Eagle-eyed Costco shoppers spotted these blondies in stores earlier this week and agreed they’re a good deal. For $9, you can take home a carton full of 16 blondie bars. Each bar has a lemon filling and is topped off with a white chocolate drizzle. Fans say that the swirls of lemon filling are delightfully gooey, and that Costco’s blondies go above and beyond when delivering on the lemon flavor.
If you’re stocking up your dessert table for a summer party or hosting a nostalgic summer-camp-inspired get-together, these blondies will definitely be a hit with your guests.
What Customers Have to Say About Costco’s Blondie Bars
So far, Costco members have plenty of positive things to say about these blondie bars. “These lasted about two hours in our house.. I didn’t even get one,” said one commenter on Reddit. Pleasantly chewy with a moist lemon filling, it’s likely that they won’t last long in your house, either. Some also say that the sweetness of the blondie makes them taste similar to lemonade.
On the other side of the spectrum, some customers say that the blondie bars are a little dry for their tastes. Popping your blondies in the microwave for a few seconds might help soften them; you can also gently dampen their surface with water before heating them to add extra moisture back into the bars.
The white chocolate drizzle on top is the finishing touch that’s convinced most Costco shoppers to reach for an extra pack of the Blondie Bars. But you can also dress it up with toppings of your own—a dollop of lemon curd can really bring home the tart flavor of these blondies, or you could add some fresh whipped cream for an even sweeter and moister bite.
