What it is

The filling has a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture that contrasts with the crisp snap of the chocolate shell. They are often individually wrapped, making them convenient for sharing or enjoying as a personal treat. The combination of cool peppermint and rich chocolate is a classic pairing.
