If you love the smell of warm, fresh brownies filling your home, save some time in the kitchen with this indulgent Ghirardelli brownie mix that includes three different types of chocolate chips mixed throughout the batter.

You just can’t beat fresh macarons, from their delicate outer shell to the sweet, dense filling. Plus, they are gluten-free.

This sweet option will save you from attempting to whip up a batch of these labor-intensive confections by yourself.

Have chocolate-covered strawberries year-round with these white and milk chocolate-covered frozen strawberries. And if you’re watching your calories, this sweet treat is just 90 calories per serving.

For the ultimate cheesecake lover, this mini cheesecake sampler offers bite-sized cheesecakes in plain, strawberry, and chocolate swirls.

Perfect for a party or family dinner, you’ll get two dozen mini cakes for under $18. That’s under a dollar per cake, which is an absolute steal, considering Goldbelly sells an 18-cake sampler of Junior’s Mini Cheesecakes for close to $100.

If you love the refreshing taste and creamy texture of rice pudding, your next dessert needs to be a Petit Pot Organic Rice Pudding. The smooth dessert is mostly made with milk, cream, and rice and flavored with delicious Madagascar vanilla. Each 115-gram jar of this French treat is 180 calories.

The individual glass jars are super convenient, and you can recycle or reuse them after you’ve gotten every last bite. While 6 Petit Pots goes for $9.99 at Costco, you’ll pay $4.58 for just two portions at Whole Foods.

If you want something more unique than a box of chocolate chip cookies from Costco’s in-house bakery — which is also delicious — pick up a box of these assorted French cookies.

For a more bite-sized, snackable dessert, these cute Chocorooms have a crunchy, cracker-like stalk paired with a creamy milk and dark chocolate mushroom top.

The snackable sweet is made in Japan, and the individual 0.75-ounce bags are 210 calories each. The bite-sized snacks are delicious on their own, but they can also be a fun, tasty decoration for cakes or sundaes.

The box includes 24 individual bags for $11.49, which works out to 48 cents per serving. For comparison, one 5-ounce bag of Chocorooms is a whopping $4.99 at World Market.

Like many French pastries, these classic heart-shaped cookies called Palmiers are buttery and flaky, consisting of more than 300 layers of dough.

Also known as “pastel de nata,” these Portuguese tarts have a flaky crust filled with an eggy custard.

All you have to do is heat for 18 to 20 minutes at 425 degrees in the oven or 9 to 12 minutes at 375 degrees in the air fryer. Then, you can serve the deliciously creamy European treat.

The box comes with 18 tarts — that’s just 50 cents per piece.

Price: $11.49

For chocolate ice cream loyalists who want something fancier, these Chocolate Gelato Bombs will hit the spot.

These individual desserts are decadent but surprisingly thrifty at just $1.92 per bomb.

If you love savory boa buns, these custard-filled panda buns are sweet and cute. They’re sure to be a showstopper if you’re hosting, and the frozen buns can be ready in minutes, whether you microwave or steam them.

Whether for snacking on its own or serving with a cup of tea or coffee, try these delicious almond biscotti dipped in rich dark chocolate.

The 25 biscotti come individually wrapped, so you don’t have to worry about the cookies going stale.

Belgian Waffles aren’t just for breakfast. Enjoy a sweet bite anytime, whether eating these on their own, warmed up and drizzled with syrup, or topped with Nutella.

These thick, individually wrapped, buttery waffles are just $1.25 each — a much better deal than the $1.63 you would pay per waffle at Amazon.

Price: $9.99

If you always go for chocolate mousse when it’s on the menu, consider these extra fresh, light, yet decadent mousse desserts from Costco.

You’ll get six for $9.99, which is just $1.67 per portion — far less than you would pay in a restaurant.

Price: $11.99

These chocolate morsels are a delightful mix of rich dark chocolate and fruity berry flavor. They taste like chocolate-covered blueberries, but the fruit-flavored center is more of a jelly consistency.

A serving is about 12 pieces, totaling 120 calories and 18 grams of sugar. They’re easy to snack on — almost too easy — and a bargain at Costco prices. The 32-ounce bag you’ll find at the warehouse store is just $11.99, whereas you’ll pay almost that amount for a 21-ounce bag at Walmart.

Whether French cookies or bao buns, buying desserts in bulk at Costco can save you money on groceries. With treats from around the world, it's hard to resist these sweet deals at the warehouse store.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, keep an eye out for seasonal desserts around major holidays, such as Easter.
