The Chocolate Peppermint Bark flavor combines an indulgent cocoa marshmallow with a filling of pink peppermint and a white chocolate flavor. This seasonal flavor was specifically created with hot cocoa lovers in mind, as the brand recommends dropping a pair of Stuffed Puffs in a glass of warm milk for "the best hot cocoa ever." As well as being a flavorful way to add sweetness to holiday drinks, the flavored marshmallows have the potential to be enjoyed on their own as snacks or added to a variety of [seasonal baked goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peppermint-cocoa-cookie). The Chocolate Peppermint Bark flavor is not only being introduced to national retail stores but also the brand's digital shop.
