What makes Andes mints unique
Ingredients & Craftsmanship
We make Andes chocolate mints with carefully selected ingredients that define their distinctive taste. The dark chocolate layers contain premium cocoa, sugar, and cocoa butter, while the center layer blends natural peppermint oil with a smooth crème base.
Our manufacturing process layers each component precisely to achieve the signature Andes texture. The chocolate coating provides a firm snap at room temperature, then melts quickly to release the cool mint center. No artificial colors or flavors appear in our recipe — just authentic chocolate and peppermint.
Serving & Storage
Store Andes Chocolate Mints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ideal storage temperature is 60-70°F to maintain the chocolate’s glossy finish and prevent bloom.
For after-dinner service, we recommend presenting the mints in a decorative dish near room temperature. The chocolate will melt smoothly on the palate without being too soft to handle. If stored in warmer conditions, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before serving to restore firmness.
Perfect Pairings & Occasions
Andes mints complement coffee, espresso, and hot chocolate beautifully. The cool mint cuts through rich flavors while the dark chocolate echoes the coffee’s depth. Many of our customers enjoy one mint with their afternoon coffee break or as a dessert accompaniment.
These chocolate mints shine at dinner parties, wedding receptions, and holiday gatherings. Place them at each place setting, offer them from a candy dish, or include them in gift baskets. The elegant rectangular shape and gold-green wrapper add a polished touch to any table.

Questions About Andes Chocolate Mints
Yes, Andes chocolate mints follow a gluten-free recipe with no wheat-based ingredients. However, we produce them in a facility that also processes products containing wheat.
If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, please review the packaging label for current allergen statements. Cross-contact protocols are in place, but we cannot guarantee zero gluten exposure.
Box sizes vary by format. Our theater boxes (4.67 oz) contain approximately 28 individually wrapped mints. One-pound bags hold around 120 pieces.
Party-size containers and bulk packaging options offer larger quantities. Check the product label or description for exact piece counts when purchasing.
Both products feature our signature three-layer construction with a mint center and chocolate coating. The primary difference is shape and size — Chocolate Mints are rectangular, while Crème de Menthe Thins are square and slightly thinner.
The flavor profile is nearly identical, with premium dark chocolate and natural peppermint oil in both varieties. Your choice depends on personal preference for shape and portion size.
Absolutely. Chop Andes chocolate mints and fold them into brownie batter, cookie dough, or cheesecake filling for mint-chocolate flavor. The chocolate and mint layers melt during baking to create pockets of flavor.
For more consistent melting, consider our Andes Baking Chips, which are formulated specifically for oven use. Both the classic mints and baking chips work well in no-bake recipes like ice cream or parfaits.
Keep opened mints in their original packaging or transfer them to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry location away from heat and sunlight — ideal temperature is 60-70°F.
If your storage area exceeds 75°F, refrigerate the mints to prevent chocolate bloom and melting. Allow refrigerated mints to return to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor release.
Andes Chocolate Mints do not contain tree nuts or peanuts as ingredients. However, our facility processes products that contain nuts, so cross-contact is possible.
Always check the allergen statement on current packaging for the most accurate information. If you have a severe nut allergy, consult the detailed ingredient and facility disclosures before consuming.
Our three-layer construction sets Andes apart — two layers of rich dark chocolate sandwich a smooth crème de menthe center. This design creates a unique tasting experience where each layer releases sequentially as the mint melts.
We use premium cocoa and natural peppermint oil rather than artificial flavors. The balance between chocolate richness and mint refreshment has remained consistent since 1950, making Andes a trusted choice for mint chocolate enthusiasts.
