Unfortunately, this Dark Chocolate with Peppermint Crunch bar appears to have gotten melted somewhere (in transit or in store).

Note: In the summer, storage matters with chocolate. I've been told that cocao butter melts at body temperature, so it doesn't take much time in a hot car or in front of a window on a hot day to do some damage. (The lighter colored cocoa butter separates from the darker colored cocoa solids causing a blotchy appearance.)
