Sweet Stripes Soft Peppermint Candy, Individually Wrapped, 160 Ct

Great product very addictive good size

Brach's Soft Peppermint 'dissolvable' candies are the perfect sweet treat and texture for what we all purchase them for. I make decorated organza gift bags for our area Assisted Living Facilities. With the softness of these candies, I never have to worry about a choking hazard from the hardness of other forms of candy, as these are perfect. Regular Brach's Starlight Mints are wrapped nicely for use in a gift bag, but they are too hard, and these are the delightful alternative. When I order these, I always order the larger tub of 350 pieces; I don't know why this size keeps popping up for review. The larger size is a better value and obviously stretches much further. The Facilities around me have about 40 to 50 residents each, so dividing them by count for each bag is simple, adds a lot of bulk, making your gift bag fuller and, hopefully, more fun while adding other small gift items. Everyone Loves these peppermints, so I bag them up for the staff, too. Why not? When it's time for a celebration, everyone is included! Whether it's a holiday, a birthday, or just May Day, there is Always a reason to gift the best, and these soft, dissolvable candies are just that!

Very fresh, soft and flavorful! Candies are consistent and top quality. (Switching from my long time favorite Red Bird which has gone down hill! Made in NC the former owner would be disappointed in the product today.) Brach’s makes a very good quality, soft mint!!

Brachs always is a winner. Great value and size.

Fresh, soft, melts in your mouth, quality, appearance, ease of use, nice for breath conversation

I love these mints. The packaging keeps them really fresh although they don’t last long in my house.

Good value! My students and I loved them!

This minor obsession with Bob's Sweet Stripes started at an after-Christmas sale. A major box store sold 160-count boxes of these mints for $1.50 a box -- originally $9. Unfortunately, I only purchased one box for my place of business, to keep it on my desk -- sharing them with coworkers. After all, a coworker that has minty-fresh breath is so much easier to talk with than one that doesn't. Everyone, including me, loved them. How quickly that first box disappeared. One of my coworkers liked the mints so much, once the first box ran out, he was nice enough to try to buy some replacement striped peppermint puffs. We all agreed they weren't the same. While confectionery in nature, they were harder and lacked the flavor Bob’s had. So, back to Bob's. Pros: The mints come well-packaged. At roughly 1/2" wide by 1" tall, they’re individually wrapped and will stay fresh. They have an interesting consistency in that there is a somewhat harder minty sugary shell with an inner softer confection that melts quickly once the outer shell starts to disintegrate in your mouth. The peppermint flavor is strong, but not overpoweringly so. It's simply perfect and very easy to pop one after the other. Watch out... Bob's Sweet Stripes are addictive--which is why I ultimately had to go with the more expensive 350-count box, as I knew they'd go just as fast as the 160-count box. Cons: If I HAD to offer any cons (there really aren't any, IMHO), it would be how quickly they melt... lasting roughly over a minute or, just slightly longer, in your mouth. It all depends on whether you suck on them, or, when you get to that softer center, bite on them for that quick burst of peppermint. However, that's part of the charm of these mints. Other similar puffs I tried were too solid (for a soft confection) and didn't have nearly the flavor that Bob's does. Recommended Purchase: So, I usually finish up my reviews with the million-dollar question of whether I recommend purchasing this item. I think it goes without saying any further... but I will anyway... ABSOLUTELY! Bob's Sweet Stripes are simply a delectable treat that you, and others who like peppermint, are guaranteed to enjoy. Get a lot if you plan to share. They'll go fast. In case you're wondering, I paid the Amazon-advertised price for this product. I only write reviews for items I personally use and test. Please know I did the best I could at the time I wrote this review and always welcome both constructive feedback (to make my reviews better) and all questions related to this review (to make it better and help where I can). I will try to address both as time allows, within a reasonable period from the date I posted the review. I'm a family man; so, my time isn't always my own. Thanks for understanding.

I tasted 1 when it arrived & I'm reminded of a review that says this is hard candy. I think most people associate soft candy as chewable/biteable. This is more like "porous" so after a few seconds, it breaks into smaller pieces.

Este es un caramelo que no se puede describir como sólido, es como inflado, 50% aire. El sabor es una mezcla de azúcar y menta.

Before you know it these will be gone . Absolutely delicious!

Yummy! Perfect nostalgic Christmas treat!

These candy's are so good I buy them around chirstmas time. Will buy again
