Remember the cheeseburger? Remember the roast beef sandwich? Heck, because I need a good cry, I\u2019m also going to mention the beloved and long-discontinued Polish Dog and Combo Pizza. Meanwhile, the cheese and pepperoni pizzas, hot dog, chicken bake, Caesar salad, smoothies, and sundaes have all been around for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of sundaes, unlike the food court menu as a whole, Costco Food Court\u2019s dessert menu has seen a lot of change over the past six months with limited-time sundae offerings. The most recent is the Caramel Churro Sundae, which features vanilla soft serve, salted caramel sauce, and mini churro bites.<\/p>\n<p>This sundae marks the return of the salted caramel sauce I first tasted with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2025\/10\/31\/4-other-things-i-consumed-this-week-10-31-2025\/\">Caramel Brownie Sundae a few months ago<\/a>. In that review, I mentioned it wasn\u2019t overly sweet, but also wasn\u2019t salty or buttery. It\u2019s a meh sauce, and that\u2019s still the case here. It\u2019s even more unnoticeable in this sundae, contributing little beyond its gooey texture.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kscarchusd2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kirkland Signature Caramel Churro Sundae with its churro bites that are actual churros.\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-76689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kscarchusd2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kscarchusd2.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kscarchusd2.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kscarchusd2.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kscarchusd2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What dominates this dessert are the mini churro bites and their cinnamon sugar coating, which permeate the soft serve with a few gentle stirs. Seriously. I\u2019ll scoop up a nice glob of the caramel sauce, and what I taste is pretty much just the cinnamon sugar. That\u2019s how flavorless the caramel sauce is in this sundae, and I wish Costco used its chocolate sauce instead.<\/p>\n<p>The churro bites are the saving grace of this sundae. They\u2019re not tiny fried churro bites made by Keebler elves (or Kirkland elves), though they do leave a slight greasy taste in my mouth. They have a chewy texture that\u2019s similar to the cookie dough gobs you\u2019d get in chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, with a little crispiness from the cinnamon sugar coating. They carry the entire flavor of this dessert, and they\u2019re the only reason it\u2019s worth its inexpensive price.<\/p>\n<p>If you love cinnamon sugar treats, you\u2019ll enjoy Kirkland Signature\u2019s Caramel Churro Sundae. But if you\u2019re also hoping the salted caramel will tickle your sweet tooth, you\u2019ll be greatly disappointed, which is pretty consistent with my previous experience with the sauce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.99<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Costco<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 850 calories.
