About Peppermint candies

Peppermint candies are small, sweet confections flavored with peppermint oil or extract, offering a bright, refreshing taste. Typically made from sugar, corn syrup, and natural or artificial peppermint flavoring, they often appear as hard candies or soft mints. Originating from Western culinary traditions, peppermint candies have been popular for centuries, particularly in Europe and North America, symbolizing the festive spirit during holidays like Christmas. While their freshening effect on breath and soothing properties for mild digestive discomfort are notable benefits, peppermint candies are primarily composed of sugar, making them high in calories and low in essential nutrients. Overconsumption may contribute to tooth decay or an imbalance in blood sugar levels. Moderation is key when enjoying them as a treat or for a quick breath refresh.
