Halloween Watchable: Costco’s Giant Chocolate Monster Is Pure Seasonal Chaos
Halloween Watchable: Costco has unleashed one ginormous novelty for spooky season — the Monster Mash Chocolate head, a 5.5-pound Belgian milk chocolate monster stuffed with body-part-shaped gummies and packaged with its own wooden mallet.
It is hauntingly perf for Halloween season, but what’s really frightening people is the price tag. The oversized candy has been widely listed at $54.99 at Costco, though warehouse pricing can vary and recent store data has shown it between roughly $49.99 and $54.99.

Made by Ten Acre Gifts, the hollow monster head hides more than a pound of fruit-flavored gummy body parts inside. The whole idea is simple and ridiculous in the best Halloween way: put it out, grab the included mallet and smash through the chocolate shell to get to the candy inside.
Costco’s online listing had appeared sold out when Fox Business checked on Sept. 12, but that did not mean the monster had vanished from warehouses. Recent warehouse tracking has continued to show the item at many Costco locations, with availability and pricing varying by store.
If you can’t find it at Costco, Amazon has the exact Ten Acre Gifts Monster Mash Chocolate Head — but you’re gonna pay full price for it. You can grab it here on Amazon.
And yes, fifty-something dollars for a chocolate head is a lot. But this is also 5.5 pounds of Halloween spectacle with a mallet included, so subtle was clearly never invited to this party.
