These 16 Costco Kirkland Snacks Are Perfect For Office Parties

Bringing a dish to an office party can get a little tricky. You want to supply something people will enjoy, but on the other hand, you don't want to be chained to your kitchen for hours preparing it. There are also the logistics of transporting your dish and storing it until party time to consider. Fortunately, if you have a Costco nearby, contributing a winning potluck item for your workplace event is a simple matter of grab and go.

The warehouse chain's Kirkland Signature brand delivers numerous ready-to-serve snacks and goodies that are perfect for fuss-free sharing with your coworkers. With these tasty items, you may not even have to bother with leftovers once the party is over, which is good, because wrestling home a half-full crockpot of homemade cocktail meatballs on your nightly commute, for example, can become its own kind of punishment.

Before you embark on your Costco run, bear in mind that some items on our list won't be appropriate if your office isn't equipped with a refrigerator to keep perishable ingredients safely chilled until party time. You don't want to be remembered as the person who gave the office food poisoning because your tray of finger foods sat out too long. Note that listed prices may vary according to location.

Tasty pinwheel sandwiches your co-workers will love

These tasty Kirkland Signature Roasted Chicken & Swiss Rollers deliver a sandwich-esque bite in a fun roll that will have your co-workers polishing off the tray. The handheld snacks feature lahvash flatbread — an Armenian unleavened bread  — filled with roasted chicken, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and cranberry cream cheese. The Kirkland Signature Roasted Chicken & Swiss Rollers Tray is priced at an estimated $16.18 per package ($7.93 per pound).

Summer-fresh flavor in a handheld pastry

These Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Pastries let you serve up sweet, peachy freshness any time — not just during those peak summer peach harvesting months — and the flaky, creamy treats will be a big hit at your office party. There are eight pastries per package, and each is quite large, so we recommend slicing them into smaller sections for serving (for presentation, we also suggest arranging them prettily on a dish, rather than keeping them in the plastic packaging — and plate color can affect the presentation of your food, so pick a nice, complementary one). The Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Pastries are priced at $13.61.

A classic crowd pleaser is easily created by combining Costco's Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants and Kirkland Signature Chicken Salad, yielding scrumptious, easy-to-assemble chicken salad sammies DIY style.

The Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants are priced at $6.80, and the Kirkland Signature Chicken Salad is priced at an estimated $19.86 per package ($6.80 per pound).

Delicious cookies for your co-workers to dive into
