THE HOLIDAYS just aren’t complete
without a favorite festive treat: traditional chocolate peppermint bark.
Chocolate peppermint bark combines
two great flavors—peppermint candy
canes and chocolate—to deliver a seasonal combination of crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
Costco bakeries, which introduced
the candy in ;;;;, have just made it
even better by upgrading to Belgian
chocolate this year. Belgian chocolate
discs, more than ; inches in diameter,
are drizzled with a white confectionary
compound and garnished with crushed
peppermint candy canes.
“Belgian chocolate is considered to
be the gourmet standard by which all
other chocolates are measured,” says
Geraldine Weeks, Costco bakery buyer.
“Our bakery team has taken this prod-
uct to the next level with improved qual-
ity and value, differentiating us from
the competition.”
Francine Ades-Weste, Costco fresh
foods research-and-development tech-
nician, says the Belgian chocolate discs
offer a neater look, and the Belgian
chocolate is smooth on the tongue.
“Costco’s peppermint bark with
Belgian chocolate is delicious because
it’s real chocolate, and it melts in your
mouth,” Ades-Weste says. “It’s excellent
for parties because it can be easily sepa-
rated for presentation or bagged as indi-
vidual holiday gifts.”
A ;;-count container of peppermint
bark with Belgian chocolate is available
for ;;;.;; in the warehouses.
Costco bakeries also offer other seasonal items, such as holiday cookie
trays, fruitcake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin
cheesecake, pumpkin streusel muffins
and pumpkin roll, but be forewarned
that these are seasonal items and will
sell out by the end of the holidays.
