First I should make it clear I am also a chocolate and mint apologist. It's practically the only way I'll eat mint.

I said what I said. I don't care if it is made with "cocoa solids". It's tasteless pap.
But even if you use proper chocolate, the peppermint itself is problematic. Invariably it's some form of broken candy cane which is exactly like mixing shards of red-and-white glass in your chocolate. I don't even like sucking on whole, smooth candy canes, much less this gustatory barb wire.
You know what's a great chocolate mint candy? Mint meltaways. Smooth, delicious and completely shrapnel free.
