Today we stretched time a bit and extended the holidays by a few more weeks. We went into chocolate peppermint overdrive with a layered Peppermint Chocolate Bar, and pieces of Peppermint Bark from Trader Joe's (Monrovia, CA).
Peppermint Chocolate Bar
Trader Joe's Peppermint Chocolate bar was a dark chocolate bar infused with peppermint oil, then hand decorated with white chocolate swirls and topped with a generous sprinkle of peppermint candy bits.
Peppermint Bark
Trader Joe's Peppermint Bark was pre-cut into generously sized squares—layered with dark and white chocolate and sprinkled with peppermint bits. (One serving is 1/2 square but, these pieces might be tough to cut apart. They were quick thick. I managed to eat a whole square with no problem, but I was was careful with each bite.
The end result: these pepped me up and got me back in the holiday spirit—away from winter doldrums and ready to face the day.
