I purchased this for Christmas 2011. I love peppermint bark and like to try a new kind every year. It is a very special yearly treat for me, so I expect a lot from the product.
Pros for Scott's Cakes version: Good organization and logistics: the package arrived quickly, the candy was well wrapped in the shipping box and shrink-wrapped in a box of its own. Candy was in good condition (i.e., no broken pieces) and fresh.
This seller's peppermint bark achieves a nice mix of peppermint and white chocolate flavor. White chocolate gives off a nice mellow tone; it is good quality. There is no dark chocolate layer to upset the balance of peppermint and white chocolate flavors in one's mouth. This attracted me to Scott's Cakes.
Cons: The quality of the peppermint pieces in the chocolate was very disappointing. The ad mentions that the buyer should expect to see pieces of candy cane/peppermint starlight mints mixed with white chocolate. The photo seems to support this claim, showing robustly sized pieces of candy cane in the bark. I expected a very crunchy chewing experience, which I think is the hallmark of the best types of peppermint bark. However, the pieces of peppermint candy are in reality very small; there is no sensation of crispness when taking a bite. The peppermint candy has a chewy consistency, making it seem more like taffy. Thus, there is no auditory pleasure in consuming this version of peppermint bark.
