Costco Introduces Hi-Chew Dessert Pops: The Latest Asian Snack Sensation
Costco locations across the United States are gaining traction as go-to spots for Asian culinary delights. Following the popularity of items like hard-boiled quail eggs and Bibigo tteokbokki, a new treat has emerged: Hi-Chew dessert pops. Launched in April 2025, these pops are part of Morinaga’s Hi-Chew American brand extension, expanding the beloved Japanese fruit candy empire.
The Hi-Chew dessert pops feature a vibrant, fruit-flavored exterior enveloping a creamy filling likened to a "silky confectionary," though not exactly ice cream. Customers have highlighted the pops’ sweet outer layer and chewy interior, reminiscent of frozen yogurt. Mimicking the look of traditional Hi-Chew candies, the pops are currently available in strawberry and grape flavors, with each box containing three of each flavor, retailing at $15 for two boxes.
Initially spotted in California, the Hi-Chew Pops have sparked excitement among shoppers, with reports of quick sell-outs at various Costco locations, including Vallejo. While these pops are currently exclusive to Costco, speculation suggests they might soon appear in other U.S. supermarkets, as they have already been spotted in New Zealand.
Fans on social media have described the pops as refreshing yet intensely sweet, noting a slushy-like texture that appeals to existing Hi-Chew aficionados. As availability remains limited, those eager to savor this new dessert should prioritize it on their next Costco visit. The Hi-Chew dessert pops not only represent a delightful addition to Costco’s Asian snack lineup but also a delicious nod to the flavors beloved by Hi-Chew candy enthusiasts.
