The only make this once a year, and it is a family tradition in my home. I ordered some from Amazon ( not the current vendor listed, I think, not sure) in late November, after finding it sold out at traditional retail venues in my area.
This certainly seems to be a popular product, lets hope they continue to ship more! Yummy to snack on, and great to jazz up a dish ( or martini glass?) of ice cream.
Love it, love it , love it!

This Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark chocolate has 3 component to it which makes it taste very interesting as you take a bite at it. Chocolate layer (available in milk or dark or 60% dark), white chocolate layer, and peppermint crust. It's kind of unorthodox to use peppermint (or replace mint) with chocolate (as you might be tired of the peppermint candy cane), but they didn't put too much peppermint crust so it is good. but enough to give the kick of the mint taste (and mintier than the regular mint chocolate)
If you like mint or peppermint, there is a good chance that you will like this peppermint bark chocolate (maybe not at the first bite). This is perfect for the holiday time, after dinner and dessert.
I like the Dark Chocolate version compare to the Milk chocolate version because the white chocolate layer is already milky and sweet, as well as the peppermint crust, so the dark chocolate will give more balance and reduce the overall sweetness of this chocolate
If you like this chocolate, you might want to try the after eight mint chocolate which is also very good. You might also want to try (if you haven't already) the Ghirardelli Mint Chocolate (Dark Chocolate with white mint filling). It's really good.
The ornament ball tins that comes with this chocolate is really cool by the way. Nice design and color and nice finish. Perfect as a gift too. Collectible grade (and it is limited edition too).

These are definitely the best chocolates around, even better than my Valentine's from Godiva, however, you are better off purchasing them from your local grocery store, or even specialty store for about $6 per bag!

Plain and simple, these tasty bites are a higher quality, better tasting, alternative to a Reeses Peanut butter cup.
The outer milk chocolate tastes similar to a Cadbury Dairy Milk, very full flavored and has that almost earthy taste to it, a very natural milk chocolate taste.
The peanut butter filling tastes close to what Reeses uses, but a bit nuttier. That and the sizable bits of peanut further enforces that this is a higher quality chocolate.
However there are two reasons why I gave it four stars. One is the peanut butter filling, even though it is tasty, it is still overly processed and very "fake" tasting to me. I've been using Adam's all natural peanut butter my entire life and this peanut butter filling is just way to similar to JIF, overly processed. I would just once like to see a chocolate with a more natural peanut butter filling.
The second reason is price, kinda spendy.
Overall these are a great chocolate to enjoy every now and again and are definitely a better tasting alternative to a Reese's peanut butter cup.
Pros:
Really great milk chocolate taste
High quality ingredients
Lots of chucks on peanuts in the filling
Individually wrapped to control portioning, so you have one and not an entire bar...
Cons:
Filling is a bit too "unnatural" for my liking
EDIT:
These chocolates are not effected by the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) recall. Ghirardelli does not purchase peanuts or peanut butter from PCA.
