RAVE: York Peppermint Wafer Bar


Here's a little trivia for you: I grew up in the Mint Capitol of the world.

True story.

I was surrounded by mint farms as a kid. Kinda nifty right?

What's ironic about that is I don't like mint.

Wait - I totally just lied to you. I do like mint, I just don't like mint candy that much. Those hard peppermint things are just nasty, and I've never been much for candy canes - unless they are strawberry flavored, yum!

But I do like York Peppermint Patties from Hershey's. I think it's more about the dark chocolate than the mint, but the minis are a refreshing little treat when you need something sweet but aren't hungry for a full on snack.

Well yesterday, while the BF and I were shopping at a local overstock store, I came across something new.


York Peppermint Wafer Bars. They came in a big bag of 100 calorie packs - which include two chocolate covered wafers with a mint stripe in the middle.

HEAVEN!

I like that there are two - so you can spread out the enjoyment.

And let me tell you, these things are damn good for 100 calories.

Apparently they make Reese's wafer bars too...I'll have to find these! I'm not sure where else you can buy these lovely treats, but I highly recommend seeking them out for your after lunch sweets fix!

Cheers!

  1. I'm not a huge fan of mint candy either, but when it's coupled with chocolate, I'm all for it.

  2. York peppermint patties are my second favorite candy - cadbury creme eggs being #1. I'll have to try these out. Thanks for the heads up.
