Shoppers hunting for texas roadhouse costco alternatives can find a frozen option at Costco in the Feel Good Foods Crispy Jalapeño Bites, which come in a two pound bag priced at about $14. The product fills a similar niche to Texas Roadhouse's Rattlesnake Bites for at-home appetites.
The Feel Good Foods bites are filled with diced jalapeños, white cheddar, and cream cheese, and reviewers describe them as crunchy outside and creamy inside. Some shoppers report they run spicier than expected while others recommend pairing them with ranch or sour cream to balance the heat.
Compared with Texas Roadhouse's Rattlesnake Bites, which feature chopped jalapeños and Jack cheese inside a crispy deep fried exterior, the Costco version is larger and more ovular in shape. The frozen snack also differs in filling by using cream cheese alongside cheddar, and it is labeled gluten free.
Cost comparison appears in shopper notes, with the Costco bag costing about $14 for two pounds versus Texas Roadhouse's ten-bite order priced at $8.49 depending on location. The frozen alternative offers convenience for home entertaining and saves the work of making pepper poppers from scratch.
