According to multiple early reviews, it features layers of vanilla sponge cake, a smooth custard-style mousse, and a bottom layer of crunchy caramelized sugar. The entire thing is topped with buttercream icing and a light dusting of golden sugar crystals to nudge it into full dessert mode.  It looks like someone tried to capture the essence of \u201cfine dining cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e\u201d and then gifted you a forklift-sized slice.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">On Reddit and Facebook, reactions are speeding in.

No thanks.\u201d Meanwhile, others joked that the cake is the kind of thing you\u2019d buy for your own mental health: \u201cI live alone and buying a whole cake is really good for your mental health, despite what you may think.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Across Instagram comments: \u201cCostco bar cakes are my weakness and I will be getting this.\u201d And: \u201cSoft &amp; moist vanilla sponge with the br\u00fbl\u00e9e layer? Yes please.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It seems like most fans are in full-on buy mode, but there\u2019s also a vocal \u201cokay, but is it worth it?\u201d crew. While the sweet-to-crunch combo is winning over many Costco fans, some vegan and low-sugar folks are staying clear. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you\u2019re looking for a dessert that feels like more than just \u201cpie on a plate,\u201d this bar cake is a win.
