Good taste, but not a fan of texture

I went back and forth between three and four stars here. I wouldn’t say I’m a mint connoisseur, but given the other highly rated reviews, perhaps I am a bit picky about my mints?

First, I’ll talk about the things I disliked. The coating was not my favourite, it feels kind of grainy and honestly, by the time I’ve sucked the coating off of them, I’m enjoying them more. I also find the mints are quite small, I’ve never seen a mint smaller than double that size and prefer a larger one. They also have a hard texture that is kind of crunchy when biting into it. I generally prefer soft mints, chewy mints or those with a hard, powdery texture more. If you like a hard mint, you might like these.

I did like the flavour. It has a nice peppermint flavour that isn’t too strong or ‘burny’. I do prefer spearmint, but this is definitely one of the better peppermint flavours I’ve had. They don’t leave a weird aftertaste and importantly are sugar free.

If it was just down to taste, I’d really like these, but I didn’t love the texture. I’d eat them again, but I probably wouldn’t buy them again. If you like hard, peppermint mints with a coating, give these a try!
