Deciding what dessert to bring to a potluck can be tough especially if the gathering is just a few days away. If you don’t have a sweet treat in mind you have to think about how many mouths to feed and how many other desserts will be on the table. You could bake a pie or cake yourself but it’s much more convenient to pick up a dessert from the store. No one will think less of you for it especially if you show up with one of Costco’s chocolate peanut butter pies.

Costco Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake! | A Family Review

It should come as no surprise that Costco is a popular place to shop for potlucks. Whether you’re making a casserole from scratch or buying a container of pre-made potato salad many shoppers find the wholesaler’s selection impressive in both size and scope. And when it comes to the treats made fresh from Costco’s bakery the decadent desserts are no exception.

While the company is best known for its seasonal fall favorite the 3.6-pound pumpkin pie the chocolate peanut butter pie is available year-round and is much larger. Fit to feed a crowd it packs nearly 5 pounds of chocolate and peanut butter cream into a buttery graham cracker crust. The luxurious rich dessert first hit Costco warehouses in March 2023 and was an instant hit among members. It’s safe to say it’ll be just as popular at any potluck you attend.

You can't go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter. The combination marries the sweetness of chocolate with the saltiness of peanut butter — a union that's as rich as it is comforting. In this way Costco's chocolate peanut butter pie is comparable to a giant creamy Reese's peanut butter cup and many members of the big-box retailer seem to find it downright irresistible. In a Reddit thread one user noted "I REALLY wanted this to suck. I was going to buy it when I realized it was a mistake and happily walk past it every time in the future. But damn it's delicious. Now I have to walk past it in absolute agony."
