Andes Valentine Mints — Limited-Edition Heart-Shaped Chocolate Gift
Our Andes Valentine Mints combine the signature three-layer chocolate-mint recipe you love with festive heart shapes and Valentine’s Day foil wrapping. Each mint delivers smooth dark chocolate surrounding a cool peppermint center, individually wrapped in pink and red foils perfect for February celebrations.
We craft every heart-shaped mint with the same premium cocoa and natural peppermint oil that made Andes famous. The Valentine edition arrives in seasonal packaging that works beautifully as gifts, party favors, classroom treats, or candy dishes for gatherings. These mints disappear fast once February starts, so we recommend ordering early while seasonal inventory lasts.
What makes these mints special
Valentine’s Day packaging & presentation
We wrap each Andes Valentine Mint in festive pink and red foils that celebrate the season without feeling overly commercial. The heart shape adds a playful touch to Valentine’s exchanges while maintaining the premium chocolate experience Andes is known for.
These seasonal mints work equally well as hostess gifts, office candy jar refills, or additions to Valentine’s gift baskets. The individual wrapping means guests can grab one or several without touching unwrapped candy. Teachers appreciate them for classroom parties because the pre-wrapped format simplifies distribution and cleanup.
Flavor profile & ingredients
Three-layer construction
Our signature recipe layers smooth dark chocolate on top and bottom with a cool peppermint center. The chocolate uses premium cocoa butter for a clean melt, while natural peppermint oil delivers authentic mint flavor without the chemical aftertaste found in some candies.
The heart shape doesn’t alter the flavor balance — you get the same 70-30 chocolate-to-mint ratio that makes Andes Mints a dinner-party staple year-round. Each piece weighs slightly less than our standard rectangular mints, making them perfect for portion-conscious Valentine’s treats.
Serving suggestions & storage
Store Andes Valentine Mints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The individually wrapped format keeps each mint fresh until opened, but we recommend consuming within six months of purchase for optimal flavor and texture.
For Valentine’s parties, arrange the mints in glass bowls or candy dishes where the pink and red foils create visual impact. They pair beautifully with coffee service, hot chocolate bars, or dessert spreads. Many customers tuck a few mints into greeting cards or gift bags for a sweet surprise.

Questions about Andes Valentine Mints
Andes Valentine Mints are a limited seasonal edition available from late January through February while supplies last. We produce them specifically for Valentine’s Day celebrations, so inventory typically sells out by mid-to-late February.
If you’re looking for Andes mints outside the Valentine season, our classic Crème de Menthe Thins are available year-round in the original rectangular shape with green foil wrapping.
No, Andes Valentine Mints use the exact same three-layer chocolate-mint recipe as our classic rectangular mints. You get the same premium dark chocolate layers and natural peppermint center — only the shape and foil wrapper design change for the Valentine edition.
The heart shape is slightly smaller than our standard rectangles, but the flavor balance and ingredient quality remain identical across all seasonal shapes.
Piece counts vary by package size. Standard resealable bags typically contain 40-50 individually wrapped heart-shaped mints, while larger family-size boxes may include 100 or more pieces.
Check the net weight listed on your package — most Valentine bags are 8.5 ounces or larger. Each individually wrapped mint weighs approximately 0.17 ounces, so you can estimate piece count by dividing total net weight by piece weight.
Yes, you can chop or melt Andes Valentine Mints for use in brownies, cookies, or dessert toppings. The chocolate-mint flavor works especially well in Valentine’s Day baked goods.
For easier baking, consider our Andes Baking Chips, which are pre-sized for mixing into batters and doughs. The heart-shaped Valentine mints require unwrapping and chopping, while baking chips are ready to use straight from the bag.
Andes Valentine Mints do not contain tree nuts or peanuts as ingredients. However, they are manufactured in facilities that process nuts, so cross-contamination is possible.
If you have severe nut allergies, review the allergen statement printed on the package and consult your allergist before consuming. The mints do contain milk and soy ingredients.
Store Andes Valentine Mints in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. The ideal storage temperature is between 60-70°F to prevent melting or chocolate bloom.
Because each mint is individually wrapped, they maintain freshness longer than unwrapped candy. We recommend consuming within six months of purchase for the best flavor and texture, though properly stored mints remain safe to eat beyond that window.
Larger package sizes are typically available during the Valentine season for parties, corporate events, and wedding favors. Check product listings for family-size boxes or multi-bag bundles.
For very large bulk orders (weddings, corporate gifts), consider reaching out early in January before seasonal inventory sells out. Valentine editions have shorter production windows than our year-round products, so early ordering ensures availability.
