This must have been my lucky weekend or something, because not only was I able to taste-test some Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark, I also stumbled across
the Ltd. Ed. Hershey's Chocolate Mint Kisses! (You can find them at Target, 2 bags for $8.)
First, my take on the Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark: As reported, it is distinctively "chunkier" than the Ghiardelli, the peppermint morsels in particular. However, inside the tin, it comes more as several giant "slabs" of peppermint bark vs. Ghiardelli's individually-wrapped, thinner, finer-grade style selections. Which means, it's up to you, readers, to determine which bark truly has more bite. Do you want to control how much you'll get by putting your own hands around it and breaking
a "chunky hunk" off yourself, or would you rather someone else did the sizing and serving for you? See, even Peppermint Bark has personality.
Now, as for Target, and those Chocolate Mint Kisses, it was fun to find
a nearby shelf was also featuring a two-fer deal, only in that case, it was 2-for-$10 on the Ghiardelli Peppermint Bark sacks, which does beat Wegmans pricing, for those of you looking for the best deals as you go about Tasting Christmas this year.
I remind readers: Get these Christmas goodies while you still can!

Two bags for eight bucks? For that kind of money, the candy ought to come with someone to chew it for you.
