d easy bites. A quick stroll down any grocery store freezer aisle will reveal an impressive selection of appetizers and snacks, ranging from frozen mozzarella sticks to Brazilian cheese bread and toasted ravioli. Looking to broaden your horizons on the appetizer front? Rumor has it that Costco may have something exceptional in the frozen appetizer world that you wouldn’t want to miss out on if you’re a fan of fried and spicy foods.

Costco is rumored to be offering Feel Good Foods Crispy Jalapeño Bites, a snack that is making waves. These crispy-coated snacks are filled with diced jalapeños, cream cheese, and white Cheddar, cooking to a perfect meld of crunchiness and gooeyness within mere minutes in the air fryer. Even better, they are gluten-free, making them a suitable option for a wider range of consumers.

In typical Costco fashion, the Crispy Jalapeño Bites are available in a generous two-pound box that is priced around $14.11, varying based on location. Reviews from patrons who have tried this frozen snack are overwhelmingly positive, especially from one Redditor who compared them to the jalapeño poppers from a renowned bar in Chicago’s Little Italy, hailing Feel Good Foods’ version as a worthy match. Many others have echoed this sentiment, commending the inclusion of diced jalapeño pieces instead of whole jalapeños, as this makes the poppers easier to consume and enjoy.

Be forewarned, however, that these snacks pack a spicy punch, a fact that has resonated with many consumers in their reviews. But for those who like their jalapeño poppers with an extra “pop,” these are sure to satisfy that craving.

Feel Good Foods first entered Costco markets in 2024, initially launching in the Bay Area. Fortunately, the brand has since expanded to other Costco locations, including those in the Southeast, the West, Southern California, and Alaska. While the availability in the Midwest or Southwest remains uncertain, the standard-size boxes of jalapeño poppers can still be found in retailers like Whole Foods, Target, and Walmart.

For those lucky enough to have these Crispy Jalapeño Bites in stock at their local Costco, it’s recommended to seize the opportunity and head to the store promptly to secure a box or two. Enjoy the crispy, spicy goodness that is winning over the hearts and stomachs of Costco shoppers across the country.
