This Seasonal Costco Find Just Got A Major Price Cut — $55 To Only $10

Costco is always coming out with new items to excite and surprise its consumer base, and fall is often when these specialty items stand out the most due to their relation to Halloween, so it should come as little surprise that the Monster Mash Chocolate Head sold at the retail chain has stuck out like a sore thumb since it first appeared in August. What's been even more noticeable recently is the product's sharp price drop; the 5.5-pound Frankenstein head was priced at $54.99 when it first arrived, but it can now be purchased for just $9.97 at many Costco locations.

The chocolate head, which appeared on our list of the best Costco items to buy in September, is produced by Ten Acre Gifts and is made of 100% real Belgian chocolate. Plus, within each head is over 1 pound of gummy candies, making the sugary treat even more intriguing to the many Halloween fans who've got a sweet tooth.

It goes without saying that the Monster Mash Chocolate Head is far from the only tasty chocolate candy available at Costco, but we'd hazard a guess that it is the most unique of the bunch. However, that hasn't necessarily made it a fan favorite. In fact, many have found the item quite odd, with the clashing flavors being a total dealbreaker. "I think the venn diagram of chocolate lovers and gummie lovers might not have as much overlap as the maker was hoping," one Redditor theorized. Another who had purchased the chocolate head expanded on this thought process, saying, "I didn't try the chocolate, but the gummies taste like chocolate for the first few seconds. Super weird and off-putting." As for the chocolate itself, people who purchased the novelty treat couldn't deny its great flavor and quality. "It's worth it," a Redditor praised. "Chocolate is good and there is a ton of it."

Some people might point to the clashing flavors as the primary reason why the item got marked down over 80%, but this isn't the only reason. With Halloween fast approaching and many already settling on buying some of the other great Halloween candies being sold at Costco this year, the demand for the Frankenchocolate is likely already plummeting as we speak. So, if you're intrigued by the concept of indulging in several pounds of Belgian chocolate (and the pound of gummies contained within it), act fast before it's gone for the season.
