I tried this candy bar this weekend and it was wonderful. I think it's a lower calorie candy bar (although still completely empty of nutrition). It tasted like a York Peppermint Patty with more and softer minty white filling. It's broken up into 2 pieces.

I absolutely LOVE Peppermint Patties. This sounds even yummier, but I gotta tell you, I'm really into getting my "calories worth" from foods. To "spend" 150 calories on something that would take me no time to eat and leave me wanting more and not full at all, with no nutrition at all ...... I just don't know. And what 150 calorie would I give up from my day in order to eat it?

OMG, I can't believe that I say things like that. And that I actually FEEL that way. Gosh, if you people only knew me a year ago, you'd be shocked, just shocked at the change.

Jessica, I'm glad you enjoyed it. As you should have.

It sounds awesome. I am the same way, though, with how I "spend" my calories. There's nothing wrong with indulging, though, and it sounds like a spectacular splurge.

Yum, sounds good! I haven't heard of that before, so I'll look for it. I'm all over it!!

I have York patties all the time for a little sweet something for 55 calories. I get what you guys are saying about spending your calories wisely, but for me I have to spend some calories on something sweet besides fruit on occasion.

It does sound good. I've finally gotten to the point where I don't feel the need to splurge more than once or twice a month, but I still have the occasional treat. I'll keep that in mind the next time I just have to have something. The calories are definitely lower than most candy bars and I believe the total fat may be lower also.

I saw these at Wal-mart about a week or so ago and am in love with them. I don't consider them a splurge, they always fit into my daily calorie allotment. I usually have a pudding or yogurt for a snack after dinner and this fits in perfect some nights. I only eat the one piece though{75 cals}. I have also smuggled them into the movies. My husband gets the butter drenched popcorn and I get my little treat. Especially since our movie theatre changed from Pepsi to Coke{love Diet Mt.Dew can't stand regular diet coke!!}I'm not a fan of peppermint patties though but they are similar and much better in my opinion.

I saw these at the store today, but it was only a display. They were all sold out. Hope to try them soon! Love mint and chocolate!

OMG you are evil. I could have happily finished out my life w/o knowing about these. But now that I know, I must have a bite.

I wonder if they make the little squares, like the Snickers Snackers?
