Post #1 - December 13th, 2009, 11:24 pmI'm looking for a good Peppermint Bark to purchase as a gift. Does anyone know of a local store that sells a good version?

Post #4 - December 14th, 2009, 8:48 amYou're pretty close to Glenview, so you could try Chocolate Potpourri.

Post #6 - December 14th, 2009, 8:58 amNot bark but perhaps a loosely related treat--Terry's Toffee makes locally a really yummy peppermint-pistachio toffee.

Post #8 - December 14th, 2009, 10:38 amIf you are looking for someone who makes peppermint bark locally, that's a different answer. I believe I saw some at Bittersweet. I'm thinking the folks at Sweet Collective might also make it, but call first.

Post #10 - December 14th, 2009, 11:19 amAnother locally-made option is the Old Town location of Delightful Pastries. They have a few barks. I haven't been back since opening week, and I don't know if they're doing any peppermint/holiday types.

Post #11 - December 14th, 2009, 3:49 pmI just noticed an ad from yesterday's Tribune for Fannie May The Peppermint Bark looks pretty tasty and comes in a reusable tin. I'm not sure, but the Golf & Milwaukee location might be closest to you.
If you're ordering online, the code for $10 off and free shipping is 10566 (not to be combined with other offers, yadda yadda).

Oh man, I turned the Lincoln Park (Clybourn) Trader Joe's upside-down, and asked a few different people about those chocolates...they all either shrugged or said "oh yeah, those WERE awesome". I had to buy a box of pfeffernüsse to make myself feel better. If anyone spots those awesome chocolates, please do tell!
Sorry to sidetrack - I saw peppermint bark on one of the shelves above the freezer cases at the Lincoln Park Trader Joe's.

Post #15 - December 14th, 2009, 5:59 pmno problem... i'd like to snag some of those chocolates myself... great suggestions thus far
edit (12/14/09 9:30 PM) just got back from trader joes in park ridge; they do have the dark chocolate and sea salt caramels. $4.99 per box

Post #17 - December 16th, 2009, 10:11 pmI haven't tried it, but my mom called today to tell me that someone just gave her a big box of peppermint bark from Long Grove Confectionery. They have it in both dark and milk chocolate. Mom loved it.
It's in their catalog, but I'd imagine it would be at one of their locations (though the BG store is a factory outlet, so prices are lower, but they don't have the gift boxes and such):
