Rip Van Wafels Minis
Our family is a huge fan of Rip Van Wafels from Costco! These are a Costco fan favorite item, and return to stores periodically (but irregularly). My Costco got back the Rip Van Wafel Minis this month – these are individually wrapped, and perfect for school lunches, office desk snacks or tucking into your bag for anytime on the go. They are really low in sugar, and delicious!
December 2023 Update: They are back! We love these, grab them while you can, we generally see these a couple of times a year, and they’ve been gone quickly the last few times!
They’re also a super bargain at Costco – with each package containing 32 individually wrapped 2-packs of wafel cookies! Definitely one of the lowest priced and lowest calorie snacks at Costco.
Why We Like The Rip Van Wafels Minis at Costco
Our Review: We think these cookies are incredibly delicious for such a low sugar content- and – they don’t have fake or synthetic sugars in them! Both adults and kids in our house love these, and I stock up whenever they are back at Costco. One of the healthiest on-the-go sweet snack or dessert for sure!
If you’ve never had a Rip Van Wafels cookie – they are two super thin wafel cookies sandwiched by a layer of vanilla-caramel gooey goodness.
I think these are an especially great Costco dessert option for anyone on a low sugar diet – they are pretty small, thin cookies…but they truly pack a lot of sweet tooth punch considering the low glycemic impact! They definitely don’t taste like a “diet” treat.
One of our kids trends ADHD and sugar treats at school when he needs to focus can be tricky – these are a great option for us to put a “cookie” in his lunch that doesn’t look or taste like he’s being denied a real treat like everyone else. And, My husband does triathlons and when he’s out training on his bike, he likes to takes some of these along – it’s a small push of sugar when he’s getting exhausted, but not so much it causes him up and downs. We’re fans, and definitely recommend!
