Whenever I eat a York Peppermint Patty, I always wonder why minty candy is never teamed up with milk chocolate. I like milk chocolate bettter than the dark variety. But I don’t remember seeing milk chocolate and mint filling/flavoring together.
Am I just not seeing minty milk chocolate products or is there no such thing? And if not, why?
Huh. Whenever I eat a York Peppermint Patty, I feel as if I’m rushing down an Alpine slope, buck naked save for a wet tube sock over my 'nads, and two antiquated wooden skis.*
Anyway, try an Andes Creme de Menthe candy. They make a mint-and-milk chocolate one.
I was about to point out Andes mints, but I took a quick look and apparently they’re dark chocolate too. I’ve been living a lie. 
I dislike dark chocolate too. Don’t really understand the mint + dark pairing preference either.
The minty Aero bars are covered in milk chocolate, with green chocolate-textured mint stuff on the inside.
Wow. I’ve been living the lie too. But whatever they call the chocolate in those things, it’s definitely lighter, sweeter and less bitter than the stuff around a York.
Which must be why I like them so much.
Hershey’s makes Mint Milk Chocolate Sticks. (About half way down this page.)
Try your Google: Dean & DeLuca, plus other high-class chocolatiers may have what you want.
It’s just part of the Big Food Conspiracy - the folks who are keeping the milk chocolate and mint candy from us are the same ones who have hidden all the blue food*
*credit to George Carlin, if you recall his routine on that…
In Ireland, Cadbury’s does a Dairy Milk with mint chips in it. It’s… OK.
But dark chocolate with mint is teh sex. After Eights, food of the gods.
ETA: I see from the article I linked to there is now a milk chocolate After Eight variety released last year. Heathens!
This merits further investigation…
Hershey also used to make the Cookies ‘n’ Mint bar (a Hershey bar with mint and chocolate cookie crumbs), although this apparently is not currently available.
Baskin Robbins makes a mint chocolate chip hard candy that is delicious.
Yeah, but it’s dark chocolate, which diminishes the goodness.
Huh, I never really realized, but you’re right. Almost every bit of mint + chocolate that I’ve seen is dark chocolate. I love mint chocolate stuff. But, I hate dark chocolate by its self.
I remember mint chocolate pudding cups when I was a kid, but haven’t seen one in YEARS!
The chocolate truffle place I go to makes mint & milk chocolate creams and truffles. But much less of those than they do of dark chocolates.
No idea why - the milk chocolate tastes much better.
Christmas is coming, and should bring with it the mint + milk chocolate seasonal edition M&Ms and Hershey’s Kisses.
For whatever reason mint + chocolate is associated with Christmas in candymakers’ minds, so at that time of year you can find all sorts of minty chocolate stuff not available at other times. Get extra bags and freeze them; both M&Ms and Kisses keep well in the freezer.
Marshall Fields’ (I refuse to say Macy’s) Frango mints are not milk, but not very dark either, as I recall. They are a bit pricy at $19 a pound, though, so here’s a recipe:
I hold this thread personally responsible for the rows and rows of ubiquitous oogy milk chocolate on candy shelves west of the Mississippi.
Milk chocolate and mint? Ewwww! 
See’s dark choc coated mint patties are pretty good.
I think it’s because both mint is a relatively non-sweet flavoring and dark chocolate is also less sweet than milk chocolate - candymakers figure they have buyers in common. (Coffee flavoring is probably matched with dark chocolate for the same reason.) People who like milk chocolate are probably also going to prefer a sweeter flavoring like cherry or raspberry.
