These wonderful, medicine-inspired candies are made exclusively for True Treats in an authentic 1920s pill capsule mold. The flavor is distinctly peppermint, spirited and fragrant enough to enjoy but not so strong it overwhelms. Each candy is “sanded” meaning it is lightly covered with sugar to keep from sticking. Easy to carry around and simple to store.

Why medicine-inspired hard candy? Because hard candies started as medicines, made in apothecaries in various iterations for centuries. Hard candies straddled the line between candy and medicine starting in the 1800s…and still do today (think cough drops). As a candy, peppermint was a favorite. As medicine, peppermint was considered a cure-all for upset stomach, anxiety, the common cold, sinus problems…So important was peppermint, one article written in 1850, explained, “Old bachelors do not live as long as other men. They catch cold and no one is there to make them peppermint tea.”

We at True Treats honor the medicinal history of hard candies. We also honor today’s versions, not medicines but definitely delights.

Love peppermint? Then enjoy True Treats’ peppermint tea, classic peppermint sticks, and Starlight mints. A fresh breath in every bite!

The mint candies are my favorite. I keep a bottle in my car and one in my kitchen. They really calm down an upset stomach. Great taste too.
