DESCRIPTION

Put luxury into your life with a favorite for almost 100 years. From the “cream candy” family, the melt away mint’s texture is so creamy it literally melts in your mouth, lingering on the tongue, leaving a smooth minty flavor. The soft texture is accented by sugar bits that decorate the top and complete the melt away mint experience. One of the most alluring aspects of these mints is the colors – pastels of yellow, green and pink, so festive and spring-like, they’re irresistible. If you like buttercreams, pulled creams, or divinity, you’ll love melt away mints. Enjoy the old- fashioned way: with tea or after-dinner coffee (some actually put the mint IN the tea or coffee), at holiday tea parties, as an accent to desserts, and, above all, a get-away treat.

Did You Know: “Melt-Away” started as an adjective in the 1920s, describing a candy or cake as having a “melt-away texture.” Eventually, the description became the name and by the 1930s, confectioners were proclaiming the wonders of their melt-away mints.

The History of Melt-Away: A Candy with a Luscious Texture

The word “Melt Away” started as an adjective in the 1920s, describing a candy or cake as having a “melt-away texture.” These were among the most luscious sweets around. When the melt-away candy appeared, food writers proclaimed:

“A Perfect Size for Parties made of purest and best mint that can be bought” (1929)
“A candy Special of Special Interest. Rich mint centers with a melt-away texture that you’ll find appealing” (1939)
“Melt Away Mints Melt Lusciously Away in Your Mouth” (1941)
“Just the thing for after-dinner candies or to serve with coffee and cake” (1941)

Melt-Away Mints were only one of a section of delightful candies. See Susan’s Blog about cream candies to find out!
