BATON ROUGE, LA – Crowds at a Costco in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, couldn’t resist a fresh bakery find this week: mantecada muffins, hitting shelves for the first time. A customer shared a photo online of the golden, buttery treats packed in plastic containers, sparking a wave of excitement. Curiosity turned into obsession as shoppers rushed to grab the newcomer, eager to taste what’s already being called a must-have.
What Are Mantecada Muffins?
These spongey, sweet creations, dubbed “sweet Mexican muffins,” come in packs of eight for $6.99 at select Costco stores. Fans describe the flavor as a cross between pound cake and corn muffins, with some noting a hint of Angel Food Cake vibes.
The muffin-munching maven who posted the photo online asked if they were worth it, and the response was a resounding yes. Shoppers suggested pairing them with coffee or even soaking them in milk for a nostalgic twist.
Shoppers Can’t Stop Talking
The buzz spread fast. One eager buyer urged others to stock up immediately, while another confirmed they’d snagged a pack the day before and found them downright delicious.
The butter-loving bombshell behind the original post got replies praising the muffins’ rich taste and texture. Some fans reminisced about childhood treats, while others were sold on the idea of “butter-filled” goodness.
Costco’s Muffin Controversy
Not everything in the bakery aisle has been a hit lately.
Customers recently grumbled about changes to Costco’s muffin lineup, pointing out smaller sizes and higher prices.
Before, two six-packs of different flavors cost $9.99, but now an eight-pack runs $6.99—with the muffins shrinking to about 70% of their former glory. Some vowed to bake their own rather than pay up, frustrated by the shift.
A Sweet Bonus Find
While the muffin drama unfolds, another bakery gem has shoppers buzzing: tiramisu cheesecake. Weighing in at 4.5 pounds, this dessert boasts a graham cracker and cocoa crust, cold brew cheesecake, and whipped mascarpone. Fans call it a heavenly addition to Costco’s lineup, with some labeling it the best treat yet.
For now, though, the mantecada muffin craze keeps Louisiana shoppers coming back for more.
