These soft peppermint candies are typically enjoyed straight from the wrapper. Their chewy consistency makes them a satisfying bite that dissolves slowly.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike hard peppermint candies, these are soft and chewy. This difference in texture provides a longer-lasting flavor experience. The chewiness also means they are less likely to chip teeth. They offer a gentler mint flavor compared to some sharper, more intense mints.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining candies fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain their soft texture and prevent them from drying out or becoming sticky.
