COSTCO shoppers are going wild for a huge Christmas chocolate essential they "need in their lives".
A customer spotted the Large Christmas Cracker at a Costco Wholesale warehouse in Newcastle.
The 2.42kg cracker contains a range of iconic chocolates and sweets including Rolos, Fruit Pastilles, Chunky KitKats, Aeros and Toffee Crisps.
Costco's listing reads: "The Large Christmas Cracker offers all your favourite sweet treats in a large Christmas Cracker with see through panels to entice your taste buds.
"From chocolate bars to delicious fruity-flavoured chewy sweets, they contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

"Ideal as a Christmas gift, to share with friends or as a sweet treat for your family!"
One shopper said they picked up the huge cracker for just £29.95 in a Costco Wholesale store.
The sweet-filled cracker costs £35.99 online - although shipping is included.
Not all bargain-hunters were convinced by the huge festive treat.
Keva said: "You can buy all the stuff inside for much less than the cracker costs."
Claire said: "Sounds expensive for what it is. Thank you for your help."
Samantha said: "Absolutely not worth it, you could put full-size bars in for that."
Tina said: "I saw these - but you don't get a lot in them."
B&M shoppers are rushing to buy a £5 winter warmer to avoid putting the heating on - and it's perfect for Christmas.
