Clio’s Holiday Greek Yogurt Bar Is Giving York Peppermint Pattie

I’m no pumpkin spice fan, but there’s one seasonal flavor I fall for every year: Peppermint. If it’s peppermint flavored in any form, I’ll buy a dozen boxes, bottles, or whatever form it might come in. And my favorite peppermint format is the pairing of winter’s staple tangy, minty flavor and rich chocolate — yes, including Starbucks’ Peppermint Mocha.

If you’re a peppermint fan like me, there’s a festive holiday treat that’s returning this year — and you’re going to want to stock up. It’s like a Peppermint Pattie, but bigger, richer, and even more decadent. Oh, and did I mention that it’s also actually kind of good for you? Yeah, I’ll take 20.

A Festive Spin on a Better-for-You Treat

The seasonal treat in question comes from Clio, a brand that changed Greek yogurt for the better (in my opinion, at least) by turning it into chocolate-covered yogurt bars that satisfy hunger and your sweet tooth. And to get you in a wintery mood, Clio is bringing back a very on-trend flavor: Peppermint Hot Cocoa Greek Yogurt Bars.

Clio’s Peppermint Hot Cocoa Greek Yogurt Bars take two of the holidays’ best flavors, peppermint and chocolatey hot cocoa, and top them off with a chocolatey coating that feels almost like you’re biting into a Peppermint Pattie. 

But while Clio’s bars might seem sweet enough to be candy, they actually pack an impressive nutritional punch. They’re made with Greek yogurt instead of nougat or caramel — so they do require refrigeration — which lends both protein and probiotics in every bite. In fact, each holiday-inspired bar features 8 grams of protein in total.

So, if you’re feeling snacky and want something festive, the Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bars deliver (and yes, I’ll be filling my fridge with them).

Clio’s Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bar Debuts Soon

If this seasonal version of Clio’s decadent take on Greek yogurt is something you can’t wait to try during the holiday season, we’ve got good news: You don’t have to wait long until you can try this Peppermint Pattie-like bar for yourself.

The Peppermint Hot Cocoa Greek Yogurt Bar will debut (again, since it is a returning flavor) in November. We don’t yet have an exact on-sale date, but you’re likely to start seeing the bars pop up in grocery stores near you once spooky season fades into the background and holidays roll in. 

But there is one particular store you’ll want to shop if you prefer peppermint to Clio’s already-available versions like strawberry and vanilla. The Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bar will be available at Whole Foods stores — and it’ll be priced at $5.99 for a single box of four bars.
