Junior Mints are low in Fat soft minty candy, that is covered in dark chocolate. They are similar in taste to a York's Peppermint Patty, but have quite a different consistency. Junior mints come in a paper box, that is white with green lettering. I don't remember them ever changing their look as far as packaging goes. The box is sort of plain looking.
Junior mints are small and bite sized. Their creamy mint is so soft it practically flows in your mouth. The chocolate outside is in dark chocolate. I really don't like dark chocolate, but for some reason the dark chocolate seems to work with the mint. Normally I find that dark chocolate tastes bitter. I don't sense that bitterness because the creamy peppermint flavor is really strong enough to over power the chocolate nicely.
I love to eat these while watching television, or even when we go to the movies. Junior Mints in my opinion taste just as great frozen. I know that seems strange, but when you freeze them they tend to get really chewy. I love them at room temperature just as much as frozen.
One thing about these mints is that they do melt fairly fast. I live in a warm climate, and sometimes I don't get this product home without melting. I do have air conditioning in my car, and I do use it. It must start to melt as I am walking to my car. I am not sure, but they do melt easily.
They also make a huge, HUGE, mess in your car if you forget to take them out. I had chocolate mint everywhere one time. It was my own fault.
Overall
This is a very pleasant, cool, and refreshing soft mint candy that enjoys dominating its dark chocolate cover. I highly recommend them. They have been around for years. I think they are served best alone with a huge cup of hot cocoa. Enjoy!
