What it is
These are small, hard candies with a distinct wintergreen flavor. They are typically individually wrapped or come in a small tin or roll. The flavor comes from wintergreen oil, which provides a cooling sensation. They are a popular choice for freshening breath after meals or as a small sweet treat. The texture is smooth and dissolves slowly in the mouth.
