What makes Peppermint Crunch special
Ingredients & Flavor Profile
Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints feature a proprietary three-layer construction that starts with a smooth chocolate bottom, adds a cool peppermint center infused with candy crunch pieces, and finishes with a rich chocolate top. The candy pieces are distributed throughout the mint layer to deliver bursts of texture in every bite.
We use cocoa processed with alkali for deeper chocolate flavor and natural peppermint oil for authentic mint taste. The crunchy candy pieces add a festive element that sets this holiday variety apart from our year-round classic mint. Each ingredient is selected to meet our kosher dairy standards while delivering the balanced flavor experience Andes is known for.
Perfect for Holiday Celebrations
Gift Ideas & Entertaining
Our Peppermint Crunch Mints work beautifully as stocking stuffers, party favors, and hostess gifts throughout the holiday season. The individually wrapped format makes them ideal for filling candy dishes at gatherings or tucking into gift baskets alongside other treats.
Many of our customers pair them with our seasonal flavors to create custom holiday assortments. The festive red-and-green foil wrapping adds visual appeal to dessert tables, and the portable size means guests can enjoy them immediately or save them for later. We recommend keeping a bag on hand for unexpected guests or last-minute gift needs during November and December.
Storage & Freshness
Store your Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal texture and flavor. The foil wrapping protects each piece from moisture and odors, but we recommend keeping the bag sealed between servings.
Ideal storage temperature is 60-70°F. Exposure to heat may cause the chocolate to soften or develop bloom, though this doesn’t affect safety or taste. If stored properly, unopened bags maintain peak freshness through the best-by date printed on the package. Once opened, consume within two weeks for the crunchiest candy pieces and most vibrant peppermint flavor.

Questions About Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints
We release Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints as a limited-edition holiday flavor, typically available from October through December while supplies last. Availability varies by retailer, so we recommend purchasing early in the season if you want to stock up for gifts and entertaining. This flavor is not part of our year-round lineup.
Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints feature crunchy peppermint candy pieces blended into the mint layer, adding texture and bolder peppermint flavor. Our classic Andes Mints have a smooth, creamy center without the candy crunch. Both use the same three-layer chocolate construction, but Peppermint Crunch delivers a more intense mint experience with a satisfying bite.
While Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints do not contain gluten ingredients, we recommend checking the package label for the most current allergen and manufacturing information. Our products are made in facilities that may process other items, so cross-contact is possible. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, please review the packaging carefully before consuming.
You can chop Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints and fold them into cookie dough, brownie batter, or use them as toppings for cakes and cupcakes. The candy pieces hold up well when baked at standard temperatures. For best results, add chopped mints in the final minutes of baking or use them as a garnish after baking to preserve the crunchy texture.
Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints are available in multiple bag sizes depending on the retailer, including 4.67 oz bags for personal snacking or small gifts, and larger 9 oz or party-size bags for holiday entertaining. Each package contains individually wrapped mints in festive foil. Check with your preferred retailer for specific sizes in stock during the holiday season.
The number of Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints per bag varies by package size and weight. A typical 4.67 oz bag contains approximately 25-28 individually wrapped pieces, while larger bags offer proportionally more. Exact piece counts depend on slight variations in individual mint weight. The net weight printed on the package front is the most accurate measure of contents.
Yes, Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints are certified kosher dairy. Look for the kosher symbol on the package to confirm certification. If you have specific dietary requirements beyond kosher certification, we recommend reviewing the full ingredient list and allergen statement printed on the bag before consuming.
