Though I don't care much for traditional peppermint sticks or candies, I have an unseemly obsession with the "puffy" peppermints that melt away in your mouth. I buy a tub of them from Costco (30 gallons or something, haha) and my husband and I are obsessed. We eat one of those containers in about a month, so I order a new one when I order a kcups delivery. OK, this isn't much of a discussion topic, but a revelation of personal weakness. Carry on.
I bought a tub of those a while ago because I couldn't find any smaller packages. Almost immediately after buying them, I saw a pack for 99 cents. Fireballs come in tubs like that too, but I found those in a small package. I was having a fireball whenever I cut the grass, until I swallowed one completely whole. Very uncomfortable for a few minutes. I've given them up. For now.
I love these. I just bought a tub of Wintergreen ones. There used to be a candy I cannot find anymore that was like these peppermint puffs, only bigger (golf ball size instead of like marbles), and they melted in your mouth real fast like cotton candy.
Can't imagine ruining chocolate with peppermint. Recall a circular "bar" York Peppermint Patty. What a waste of chocolate.
Peppermint can give me heart burn if eaten too much. I do like the peppermint bark at Christmas time.
