The next time you're at Costco, you might want to check out the frozen dessert section. According to Reddit users, the warehouse is offering macaron ice cream sandwiches — and they sound divine.
The treats are by La Vie Gourmand, a brand that creates items that are exclusively available at Costco. They consist of French macarons with sprinkles filled with vanilla ice cream. One box costs $8.79 and contains eight individually-wrapped sandwiches, which is a great deal.

"I was pleasantly surprised with the texture of the macaron and the ice cream for something coming straight out of the freezer," noted the original poster of the Reddit thread. Another person shared that the macarons are slightly larger than the standard kind.
