when it tastes SO GOOD! Ladies I am in trouble. I LOVE dark chocolate and I love mint. I love them even better when they are combined. Well, the fine chocolatiers at Lindt and Ghirardelli have decided to come up with festive, dark chocolate-mint candies for the holiday season. A few years ago I found Ghirardelli peppermint bark squares. They were excellent but they were milk chocolate so I could resist. This year they are also making them in dark chocolate. Sheer bliss! I bought a bag a while ago and I'm doing very well at rationing them...I'm actually kind of proud of myself. However, today when I went to the store to pick up a few items that I forgot yesterday I had to walk by the Christmas candy display to get to the pecans. As I walked by I happened to notice that Lindt now has a dark peppermint truffle. I had to get them. I ate one after my lunch today and they are divine! The worst part is that the truffles distracted me and I still didn't get my damn pecans for my sweet potato casserole that I'm making for Thanksgiving so I have to go back to the store again!! GAHH!!
Anywho, if you're looking for a really tasty treat and you like dark chocolate I would recommend either of the sweets mentioned above. The Ghirardelli peppermint bark squares are a little less sharp and are sweeter so if you don't like really dark chocolate I would go with those, however, if you're like me and think the darker the better I would go with the Lindt truffles. Either way you won't be sorry!

We all have our sweet tooths as well as our guilty pleasures. As the holidays ambush us, we have treats coming our way. I had/have a thing for Hyvee's Dutch Apple pie, especially because you can buy whole pies, half pies, or fourths of pies. I'm a big fan of pumpkin desserts too. Perkins had pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting. Yum. Then, someone at work made pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting - delish. I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate, so the peppermint bark squares might be what I would like. If I see them, I might have to buy them. Of course it's easy to be bad. It's the reason our world is going down the toilet. That's a different story all together. :-)
I'll keep your dark chocolate recommendation in mind for Gavin. He's the dark chocolate lover in this household. :)
