But the Kirkland chips were afan favorite, and fans are devastated.
They tried this several years ago, but there was such an outcry that they brought them back.
yo help all of us home bakers do that again!"
And customers really came through: One even got an email response from Costco, which wasposted on Reddit.
In it, the company spokesperson claimed they “put an extreme amount of consideration into” the decision.
A ton of cocoa typically costs around $2,500, but in mid-April the price reached $11,000.
