These dark chocolate mints are a perfect alternative to your average peppermint patties! They have less sugar, richer chocolate and are only sweetened with honey. These are a staple for my workspace when the need for something sweet strikes!

The inside is basically beaten honey, with mint oil added. It’s stiff and won’t drip when you bite into it. The outside is what the industry calls “chocolate liquor”, which is to say that it’s just ground cacao nibs that were warmed up enough to pour a very thin layer over the filling. If your hands are warm, it will melt on your fingers.
The chocolate coating isn’t sweet at all. The flavor is pretty much like the day that you put a spoon into the box of unsweetened baking cocoa because you thought it would taste like hot chocolate. Adding just a little honey or other sweetener to the coating would make a big difference for me.
Bottom line: It’s okay, but I’m probably not going to buy them again.

This might have been the first and only thing I returned at TJ. It tasted like it had a layer of must to me. Not that it went bad, but something un-candy-ish about it. The ingredients are all things I really enjoy, so this was a surprise.

These are amazing. If you like super dark chocolate and mint, you will enjoy them. They taste like super high end artisan candies, not for the masses.

I’ve never had something more addicting in my life. Yes, the outside is dark chocolate and is bitter on it’s own. That’s why you eat it as a whole or at least half at a time. The honey interior cuts that bitterness instantly. I could eat these all day! Instead I tend to put them in the fridge for an extra bit of chocolate crunch when I bite into them, also to keep them out of site. I will for sure be back for more!

I am allergic to nuts. Seed honey is soaked in walnuts. I discovered this while eating one mint and I quickly began to break out in the hives, and my throat started to close up. I google seed honey and was shocked. The ingredients on the package do not mention nuts. If you have a nut allergy DO NOT EAT THESE!!! They taste great until you can no longer draw the breath of life.

These are the best! This is the only candy my grandson can eat. He has food allergies and can’t have sugar. So sad they have stopped carrying them. I found them on Amazon for $29.95 for 7oz.!!! We can’t afford them at that price.

I was so disappointed that Trader Joe’s discontinued this delicious item. When I found out, I stocked up on them. I’m now down to my last bag! Please bring them back!
