Brown and Haley Almond Roca Dragon

The scoop

Spotted something interesting in the clearance aisle: Brown and Haley Almond Roca Dragon in a 28-ounce container. If you’re a fan of buttercrunch toffee with a twist, this one’s worth a look.

This is a special edition of the classic Almond Roca we all know, likely featuring packaging themed around the Year of the Dragon. You’re getting nearly two pounds of chocolate-covered, almond-studded buttercrunch toffee in what appears to be a bulk or gift-sized container. Brown and Haley has been making this stuff since 1923, so the quality baseline is solid.

As for value, Almond Roca typically runs premium pricing because it’s genuinely good toffee—not the waxy stuff you find in discount bins. At 28 ounces, you’re looking at a substantial amount of candy. If you’re a toffee lover or need a thank-you gift that looks more thoughtful than it actually was, clearance pricing on this could work in your favor. Just know that regular-priced Almond Roca can be pricey, so even at clearance, it might not be bargain-basement cheap.

The clearance tag likely comes down to the Dragon-themed packaging being seasonal or limited edition. Lunar New Year was back in late January, so Costco’s probably cycling through specialty holiday inventory. That means limited quantities—if your warehouse still has these, they won’t last long. The candy inside doesn’t care what the tin looks like, so you’re essentially getting the same product with festive packaging.

If you’re already buying Almond Roca regularly or you’ve been eyeing it but balking at the price, clearance is your moment. Have you tried the special edition Almond Roca varieties, or are you a purist who sticks with the original pink tins?
