A Fresno chocolate maker has a sweet treat for sale at 50 California Costco stores — and you can try them for free this weekend.
A’cappella Chocolate — owned by the Debbas family, which also runs the longtime Debbas Gourmet — is selling a treat described as “maple bars in chip form.”
The Maple Glazed Donut Crisps are made with fresh donut dough pressed into thin, airy chips and covered with a maple glaze.
“It tastes like a donut because it is a donut — we just made it snackable,” said Max Debbas in a news release.
Debbas is the founder of A’cappella Chocolate. He’s also the son of Guy Debbas, whose G. Debbas Chocolatier company made chocolates for Trader Joe’s, BevMo!, Target and other big retailers for decades.
The crisps are made at A’cappella Chocolate’s factory in Fresno.
The donut crisps are for sale at Fresno Costco stores, along with stores in Visalia, Hanford, Merced and Modesto. Every store in Costco’s Bay Area division carries them, which includes Northern California, the Central Valley and Northern Nevada. The full list of stores is on its website.
The Maple Glazed Donut Crisps are also available through SameDay.Costco.com and Instacart (and you don’t need a Costco membership when ordering through Instacart).
All the Costco stores that carry the product will offer free samples on Sunday, Aug. 9. The stores handle their own sampling, so it’s not exactly clear when, but they should offer the samples most of the day, according to Debbas.
Non-Costco members can also find smaller bags of the crisps at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods.
