Costco confirmed that its popular twisted churro is returning to food courts nationwide on a limited-time basis. The redesigned and larger churro is priced at $1.49, with rollout occurring gradually across warehouses, including California and New York. The return follows the removal of the prior churro and an unsuccessful replacement, while Krispy Kreme introduced a competing churro-themed doughnut product targeting dissatisfied Costco customers.
