With some chocolate and mint candies it feels as if your mouth was assaulted by multiple candy canes or 9 out of the 10 dentists who recommend a particular toothpaste armed with the toothpaste they recommend. But that\u2019s not the case with these Ghirardelli Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Squares.<\/p>\n
They have a mild peppermint flavor that doesn\u2019t overpower the milk chocolate exterior or “brownie” filling. What’s with the quotation marks? I’ll get to that in a moment.<\/p>\n
The filling has tiny crunchy bits and you might think it’s peppermint candy because everything about the packaging SCREAMS peppermint candy, but it’s not. Digging one out of my mouth reveals they\u2019re mint chocolate cookie crumbs that look like part of a cavity all 10 of those dentists would remove from a mouth. <\/p>\n
The milk chocolate is creamy and the filling is smooth, but with every square I\u2019ve eaten I keep wondering when the \u201dbrownie” flavor will show up. I\u2019ve had enough brownies in my lifetime to know what they taste like and I don’t get an inkling of the baked good in these. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The squares have the right balance of milk chocolate and mint, the filling is smooth, and I love the crunchy cookie bits. But what excited me about these was the word \u201cbrownie\u201d and I didn\u2019t get any of it with flavor or texture. <\/p>\n
For a minty chocolate candy, they\u2019re really pleasing. And if the squares were used as tile in the bathroom of the witch in Hansel and Gretel, she would have to redo it after every time I came over because I would eat most of it.<\/p>\n
But as I lay on her bathroom floor made from Ghirardelli Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Peppermint Brownie Squares, stuffing my face with the surface I\u2019m lying on, I\u2019ll be extremely disappointed they didn’t have brownie flavor or peppermint candy bits in them.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Wonderful mint and chocolate squares. Crunchy bits add a pleasant texture. Creamy milk chocolate. Brushing your teeth. Being able to leave the witch’s house in Hansel and Gretel without being eaten.
\nCons:<\/b> No brownie flavor. No peppermint candy bits. The witch in Hansel and Gretel sending me the bill for her bathroom repairs. Cavities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
