Andes Easter Mints — Spring Candy Edition
We’ve reimagined our classic three-layer mint chocolate for spring with Andes Easter Mints, a limited-edition collection featuring festive pastel wrappers and the same smooth, creamy mint filling you love. Each piece delivers our signature blend of rich chocolate and cool peppermint in colors perfect for Easter baskets, spring parties, and holiday gatherings.
Our Easter Mints arrive individually wrapped in soft pinks, yellows, greens, and lavenders that brighten any candy dish or celebration. The smooth milk chocolate layers sandwich our refreshing mint crème center, creating the balanced flavor profile Andes has been known for since 1950. Whether you’re filling plastic eggs for an egg hunt, assembling gift bags for guests, or simply treating yourself to a spring pick-me-up, these mints bring a touch of seasonal joy to every moment.
What makes this spring edition special
Premium ingredients & chocolate craftsmanship
We source high-quality cocoa and pure peppermint oil to create the layered flavor experience that defines every Andes mint. Our Easter edition maintains the same ingredient standards as our year-round classics, using real milk chocolate and natural mint flavoring to deliver a clean, refreshing taste without artificial aftertaste.
The three-layer architecture requires precise tempering and cooling stages in our production process. We pour the bottom chocolate layer first, add the mint crème center once it sets, then seal everything with the top chocolate coating. This method creates the satisfying snap when you bite through the chocolate shell and the smooth melt of the mint filling that follows. Each individually wrapped mint stays fresh in its foil wrapper until you’re ready to enjoy it.
Sizing, packaging & party planning
Our standard Easter Mints bag contains approximately 60 individually wrapped pieces, giving you plenty to fill multiple Easter baskets or create candy stations at spring gatherings. Each rectangular mint measures roughly 1.5 inches long and 0.75 inches wide, the perfect two-bite size that works for both kids and adults.
For larger events, we recommend one bag per 10-12 guests if mints are part of a mixed candy display, or two bags per 10 guests if Andes Easter Mints are the primary treat. The resealable zipper keeps unused mints fresh for weeks when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Plan to order early in the season, as this limited-edition release typically sells out before Easter Sunday arrives.
Creative serving & gifting ideas
Easter basket essentials
Tuck a handful of wrapped mints into plastic eggs for egg hunts that surprise kids with chocolate instead of jelly beans. The pastel wrappers coordinate beautifully with spring basket grass, plush bunnies, and other traditional fillers. We love pairing our mints with small toys, stickers, or gift cards for older children who appreciate a mix of candy and non-edible treats.
Party favor & hostess gifts
Fill clear cellophane bags or mason jars with Andes Easter Mints, tie with ribbon, and add a spring-themed gift tag for instant party favors. The individually wrapped format means guests can grab a few for the road without worrying about freshness. For hostess gifts, arrange mints in a small decorative bowl or basket alongside our Valentine mints if you’re celebrating both winter and spring holidays in one gathering. The layered chocolate presentation looks elegant on dessert tables, coffee stations, or reception buffets.

Common questions about Andes Easter Mints
Andes Easter Mints are a limited-edition release available only during the spring season, typically from late January through Easter Sunday while supplies last. We produce them in festive pastel wrappers specifically for Easter celebrations and spring gatherings.
Once inventory sells out, you’ll need to wait until the following spring for the next release. If you love the flavor year-round, our classic Crème de Menthe Thins offer the same three-layer mint chocolate taste in traditional green foil wrappers available every day.
A standard retail bag contains approximately 60 individually wrapped Andes Easter Mints, though the exact count may vary slightly by a few pieces depending on production batch. Each mint is individually wrapped in festive pastel foil for freshness and portion control.
This quantity is ideal for filling 10-15 plastic Easter eggs with 4-6 mints per egg, or for serving at small to medium gatherings. For larger events or multiple baskets, we recommend purchasing two or more bags to ensure you have enough for all your spring celebrations.
No, all Andes Easter Mints feature the same classic mint chocolate flavor regardless of wrapper color. The pastel pink, yellow, green, and lavender foils are purely decorative to enhance the spring aesthetic of your Easter baskets and candy displays.
Every mint contains our signature three-layer construction with milk chocolate outer layers and cool peppermint crème center. The wrapper colors are randomly distributed throughout each bag, giving you a festive assortment without any flavor variation.
While Andes Easter Mints can technically be chopped and added to baked goods, we recommend using our Andes Baking Chips for more consistent results in cookies, brownies, and bars. The individually wrapped format of Easter Mints requires unwrapping each piece before chopping, which adds prep time.
If you do choose to bake with Easter Mints, chop them into small chunks and fold into dough just before baking to preserve some texture. Keep in mind that the three-layer structure may separate slightly during melting, creating marbled mint-chocolate swirls in your finished recipe rather than uniform chocolate chips.
Andes Easter Mints do not contain nuts as ingredients, but they are produced in a facility that also processes tree nuts and peanuts. Cross-contamination is possible, so individuals with severe nut allergies should review the allergen statement printed on the package and consult with their healthcare provider before consuming.
The mints do contain milk and soy, making them unsuitable for guests with dairy allergies or strict vegan diets. For detailed allergen information specific to the current production run, always check the label on your purchased bag rather than relying solely on general product descriptions.
Store opened bags in the original resealable pouch in a cool, dry pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The ideal storage temperature is between 60-70°F to prevent chocolate bloom and maintain the mints’ signature snap and smooth texture.
Avoid refrigerating Andes Easter Mints, as temperature changes can cause condensation that affects the chocolate’s appearance and mouthfeel. When stored properly in the sealed bag, leftover mints will stay fresh for several weeks, though we recommend consuming them within three months of opening for optimal flavor and texture.
We recommend purchasing Andes Easter Mints 3-4 weeks before Easter Sunday to ensure availability, as this limited-edition seasonal item typically sells out in stores by early April. Buying early also gives you time to plan your Easter baskets, party favors, and candy displays without last-minute stress.
When stored properly in a cool, dry place in the sealed bag, the mints will maintain peak freshness for 8-10 months from production, so early purchase won’t compromise quality. Check with your local retailer about restocking schedules if your preferred store is out of stock, or order online to secure your supply before the spring rush.
