As a self-proclaimed chocoholic, I’m never going to say no to chocolate ice cream, a fudgy brownie, or my go-to treat: dark chocolate chips. But when it comes to my all-time favorite, Lindt Lindor truffles absolutely never miss.
While I’m a fan of the fun flavors like Carrot Cake and Tiramisu, what I really want is the brand’s signature, world-renowned dark chocolate—and I’ll happily take a little zhuzhing. Luckily, the brand is releasing another chocolate bar that combines two iconic flavors into a treat that fans are calling “a home run.”
Lindt Debuts New Excellence Crunchy Mint Cookie Dark Chocolate Bar
Lindt recently dropped a brand-new chocolate bar as part of its Excellence lineup, and fans can’t get enough of it. The new Lindt Crunchy Mint Cookie Dark Chocolate Bar features Lindt’s signature smooth dark chocolate infused with peppermint and packed with crunchy pieces of mint cookie for a deliciously decadent combo that pairs perfectly with after dinner drinks or solo snacking. Just like other Lindt bars, this dark chocolate is crafted using high-quality ingredients, and the bar is portioned into squares for balance in every bite. And if you were wondering how it tastes, well, fans are already loving it.
“WOW. This Mint Cookie Dark Chocolate bar is the perfect balance of mint, cookie, and chocolate!” wrote one reviewer on Amazon. “It tastes just like the GS [Girl Scout] Thin Mints cookies, if not better!”
“This Mint Cookie bar is trouble. I can’t stop eating it,” said another shopper, who also compared the treat to a Thin Mints cookie “with less cookie, more dark chocolate.” They added, “Lindt has hit a home run with this one.”
If you’re apprehensive about mixing mint and chocolate, rest assured—it’s good. According to a taste-tester, the mint cookie is “not toothpaste flavor if anyone was curious.”
Beyond enjoying on its own, the bar is also the perfect addition to other treats, from baked goods to ice cream sundaes. One Instagram user suggested pairing the Crunchy Mint Cookie Dark Chocolate with marshmallow and graham crackers, saying “gonna be some extra tasty s’mores!”
If you also love the mint chocolate combo and are already grieving the end of Girl Scout cookie season and Wendy’s run of Thin Mint Frostys, good news—the Lindt Excellence Crunchy Mint Cookie Dark Chocolate bar is here to stay. Unlike past seasonal treats from Lindt, the new bar is joining the permanent lineup and rolling out at most major retailers now. However, despite its permanent status, we still wouldn’t judge you if you stocked up on more than a few bars.
