TJ's dark chocolate honey mints

I'm not really sure how I feel about these. I really wanted to like them. Dark chocolate and mint are a classic combination. And with just 3 ingredients- honey, chocolate liquor and oil of peppermint- I love the simplicity of the product. However, to get the chocolatey-minty taste, you have to chew on the candy rather than letting it melt in your mouth. I made the mistake of doing the latter and got an eye-opening mouthful of unsweetened chocolate followed by a sugary sweet mint chaser. Yuck! Once I figured out the chewing pre-requisite, these were fine. Still, not really my favorite candy. I'll take an old skool Andes Mint Parfait anyday.
