It's hard to resist a taste test, so we pitted these gourmet treats against York Peppermint Patties. It wasn't even close! Single-source Black Mitcham mint oil from Summerdown Farms provides a smooth flavor that's not at all harsh. A generous coating of high quality dark chocolate provides another upgrade over the more familiar brand. They look better too: these patties emerge from their stylish, mint green box shiny and un-crushed.
