What it is
These are small, individually wrapped mint candies. They are typically made with sugar, peppermint oil, and a binding agent. The texture is usually firm and dissolves slowly in the mouth, releasing a refreshing peppermint flavor. The small size makes them convenient for a quick breath freshener or a small sweet treat after a meal. They are a classic confection often found in candy dishes or offered as a small courtesy.
