Not wanting to waste those minty fragments, they decided to use it as a chocolate topping.<\/p>\n<p>And the name \u201cBark\u201d doesn\u2019t come from it looking like snow-covered tree bark. Instead, it\u2019s the loud cry the peppermint bark\u2019s originator let out with each anger-releasing sledgehammer swing. <\/p>\n<p>With Stuffed Puffs Chocolate Peppermint Bark, you don\u2019t have to worry about hard-to-open wrappers, swinging sledgehammers, peppermint shards, or loud crying. They feature cocoa marshmallows with a pink peppermint-flavored filling, and it\u2019s the first seasonal variety from Stuffed Puffs. (Sorry, pumpkin spice. Maybe next year?) It follows the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/05\/28\/stuffed-puffs-filled-marshmallows-review\/\">original Stuffed Puffs<\/a> (regular marshmallow with a chocolate filling) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/05\/21\/stuffed-puffs-chocolate-on-chocolate-marshmallows-review\/\">Chocolate-on-Chocolate Stuffed Puffs<\/a> (cocoa marshmallow with a chocolate filling).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Stuffed-Puffs-Chocolate-Peppermint-Bark-Marshmallows-Innards.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stuffed Puffs Chocolate Peppermint Bark Marshmallows Innards\" title=\"Stuffed Puffs Chocolate Peppermint Bark Marshmallows Innards.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always found the flavored interior of Stuffed Puffs to be unappetizing to look at. It appears crumbly and chalky. But, fortunately, its texture isn\u2019t. When the filling melts in my mouth, it becomes creamy. The sweet peppermint flavor is mild, and there isn\u2019t any cooling sensation from it.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Stuffed-Puffs-Chocolate-Peppermint-Bark-Marshmallows-Coating.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Stuffed Puffs Chocolate Peppermint Bark Marshmallows Coating\" title=\"Stuffed Puffs Chocolate Peppermint Bark Marshmallows Coating.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the mint is mild, the cocoa marshmallow coating has an even milder flavor. Actually, I don\u2019t notice any cocoa notes while chewing it with the filling. I mean, if I told you to close your eyes and trust me to put something in your mouth, and this time I promise it\u2019s not slimy, super spicy, or alive, you would probably think I\u2019ve put a peppermint-flavored marshmallow that was either red or white-colored, but not cocoa-flavored.<\/p>\n<p>The back of the bag encourages us to also roast, toast, bake, or melt it. Sure, I could add it to some hot cocoa, toast it over an open fire, or fill a water barrel, dump a bag of these into it, and go Stuffed Puffs bobbing. But I\u2019m okay with popping one into my mouth. Not two, though. And definitely not three. I tried, but my dainty mouth couldn\u2019t fit three.<\/p>\n<p>Stuffed Puffs Chocolate Peppermint Bark may not have the cocoa flavor I expected, but they are a pleasant holiday treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free samples of the product.
