I enjoy the taste of mint. For some reason I tend to enjoy it more in the Winter months then I do the warmer months of the year. I wonder why that is? There are not a bunch of suggestions of products to try but let me share with you a few. Try them and you may become a fan. If you prefer coffee or tea I have two suggestions. "Brew la la Coffee" offers a Candy Cane flavor. When you open up the coffee it has a nice aroma of mint. It is regular coffee so when I make it I mix it with decaffeinated coffee. A flavor that compliment the mint flavor. I purchased this at TJ Maxx. I purchased at either Ross Dress for Less, TJ Maxx or Marshall's, Bentley's Minty Mint Green Tea. It has a great flavor but the down side is each tea bag has a small staple that connects the tag to the bag of tea which prevents one from placing it into the water that goes into the microwave to boil. Carrington Tea makes a Peppermint tea that you can purchase at WalMart, the down side is that it does not have that precision of taste like Bentley's. It is OK if you want a cup of mint tea but it has a distinct after taste which I do not particularly care for. The plus side to this tea is there is no string and tag to deal with.
Onto other mint treats, I discovered at WalMart the other day that there is a Limited Edition of Mint Cocoa flavor of Snack Pack puddings. I was pleasantly surprised at the nice mint flavor in the pudding. Why do I like Snack Pack Pudding? On Occasion one may have a taste for something sweet but may not want to overindulge in it and I find this size is just enough. The packaging is also cute in this item. It is a friendly looking snowman holding a cup of cocoa with a green hat and scarf, wearing mittens and I like the fact that the snowman has a great big smile on their face. If you prefer a good yet intense flavor of mint I would suggest the snack size 3 Musketeers Mint with Dark Chocolate unwrapped bites. You can purchase them at Walgreen's. The package is a sharing size and it offers two servings. If you really like the flavor of mint then I would search out Russell Stover's Mint Dream candy. They are individually wrapped. They can tend to be a bit messy when you bite into it, some of the mint filling may come out. So be careful in the way you bite into it.
I would not recommend Dove Chocolates Dark Chocolate Mint Swirl candy for you taste more of the chocolate flavor over the minty flavor. It is not bad though if you are enjoying a cup of mint tea or coffee and let the piece of candy melt in your mouth while enjoying the coffee or tea. If you are looking for a great mint taste to pop out at you this is not the choice for that.
May you enjoy your day in the search of minty treats.
A side note...I grew fresh mint and spearmint a few times but I do not like the flavor and how to infuse it into something. From what I understand it is OK to grow it in a planter but it you grow it in the ground I think it just starts growing wild and spreads so take caution as to where you plant it if planting in a garden in the ground and not a planter.
