All Things Peppermint!
Christmas means a lot of different things to different people. To us, amongst many other things, it means PEPPERMINT everything. Our peppermint meltaways are the perfect way to start this special time of year. They’re super soft and are full of peppermint flavor (similar to a shortbread-butter cookie). And true to its title, they magically melt away in your mouth – just like cotton candy!! For more peppermint cookies to love, try our Peppermint Sugar Cookies and Double Peppermint Crunch Cookies.
