Chocolate Christmas Tree Decorations at Costco (Xijhir branch)

Not my usual kind of post, but I know how hard it is to keep up the holiday spirit in Taiwan if you miss the products when they come through!  Last week, I noticed Costco has the big boxes of chocolate Christmas Tree decorations in already.  I didn't see anything for Halloween yet, though.

I'm not sure if I have a place cockroach-free to keep them where they won't melt before Christmas, but if you do, go pick up a box!
