We Tried Costco’s New Chocolate “Bar Cake” and … Oh Boy.
As you probably know, one of Costco’s most popular sections is its expansive bakery, which is always coming out with seasonal desserts (have you tried the pumpkin cheesecake yet?).

My kids are 2 and 4 years old, and they’ve quickly become travel champs, keeping themselves entertained on road trips all around the West Coast, and flying both cross-country and to Hawaii.As such, my husband and I have gotten our packing routine down to a near science, learning to load luggage into the trunk like pieces in Tetris.

The one thing I always add at the end, though — no matter what else has gone into the pot — is a bit of butter.
