Damn, hope Ghirardelli Limited Edition Peppermint Bark is still in stores, even tho it’s post-xmas. Otherwise that makes NYCE obsolete. so no, pepp bark is not brand new. but it's still surging in popularity (which makes it newsworthy) and this new ltd-ed (w/ its A+ shiny ribbon-candy wrapper) does a twist. The usual formula izza 3-layered construction: 1. milk choc base 2. white choc layer 3. cracked pep candies. Ghirardelli’s has the pep candy mixed right in to the white choc. a radical departure + also easier to eat, as the candy shards don’t fall all over yr keyboard

I know! And they are so much easier to own than trying to outrun the RCMP when you're cutting a real one down in the wild.
ReplyDeletei suppose it's no surprise that kirk would appreciate twisted link's special brand of sarcasm ... kirk recently posted a very similar wise-ass comment on dallasfood.org (scroll down about halfway) ... twas just as funny as twisted link's comment here
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned how much I dislike peppermint?

ReplyDeleteDid it ever occur to you that Twisted Link and I are one and the same?
In all the days I've been reading News You Can Eat, I never realized that The Captain was not a fan of peppermint.
ReplyDeleteWell now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the other half, Captain?
ReplyDeleteI HAVE LICKED SEVERAL TREES AND HAVE YET TO FIND ONE WITH PEPPERMINT BARK.

ReplyDeleteSo where do you buy it? I dont want to lick myself...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, where are you finding it?
