Chocolate-mint tumbles
Have a Yule that’s cool
BY GENEVIEVE RAJEWSKI

  PREVIOUS COLUMNS

For me, Louis Armstrong’s " Cool Yule " ranks high among the season’s best songs. However, despite Louis’s cheerful words to the contrary, I’ll never flip when Old Saint Nick takes a lick on a peppermint stick. I might dig the stripes, but I’ve never enjoyed peppermint solo.

Enter the chocolate-mint tumble, an addictive confection with a retro-style, peppermint-striped box that asks the question: " Is it a cookie or a candy? " The tumbles are a little bit of both, actually. Their crisp centers have the nostalgic appeal of a Girl Scouts Thin Mint cookie. But their rich dark-chocolate coating purrs Godiva.

Available at Williams-Sonoma, Copley Place, 100 Huntington Avenue, Boston, and the Mall at Chestnut Hill, 300 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, for $18.50 for a box of 45. Call (877) 812-6235, or visit www.williamssonoma.com
