Enjoy these soft peppermints as a standalone treat for a refreshing burst of flavor. They can also be incorporated into baked goods, such as cookies or brownies, by chopping them and folding them into the batter.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their softness and flavor, store any remaining candies in their original wrappers or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent them from becoming hard or sticky.
