Choward's Violet Mints Candy | Bold Aromatic Flavor | Perfect for Snacks in Lunchboxes, Travel, Sharing, and Gifting | Nostalgic Vintage Candy | 3 Pack (15 Mints Per Package)

It tastes just as I remembered it. Beautifully floral and herbaceous and not at all overly minty. Breath freshness lasts a long time, too. So glad to have found it here, because it's really hard to find in stores now.

I purchased again because I enjoy the violet scented flavor mint... However I don't think it's fair to post one price for a "3" pack, then turn around as soon as I purchased and post an even more economical deal of "6" pack for just $1.00 more.. on top of that this item wasn't available for return. Disappointed in the matter because had if displayed appropriately I would have gladly chosen the "6" pack for just a dollar more! Do better with posting deals please.

Do you love Mad Men? Do you love the scent of violets? Do you want your mouth to taste and feel like heaven? If so, these lovely old fashioned candy mints are for you.A taste of nostaglia will transport you back in time to the olden days, when candy was fancy and unique.The lovely violet scent fills your senses as you open the beautiful purple and silver foil pack and your breath will smell amazing as you lets these disolve in your lucky mouth.Some comments I've heard is, "These are kind of chalky", and "Tastes like soap". Which I suppose is the opinion of those with no discernable taste, because these really are amazing.For the price, it is not really a risk to try them.Great for stocking stuffers at Christmas time.

I love all things violet-flavored and floral flavors in general, so when I saw these (in the recommended when purchasing another brand and type of violet mints I like), I had to try them. Superficially speaking, the packaging/wrapper design is beautiful, and delightfully 'retro'. The fragrance and taste of these mints is simply fantastic, and I most appreciate its strength/intensity--whereas with Parma Violets (their British counterpart, more-or-less) the flavor is very subtle and sort of muted, these have a wonderfully potent flavor with strongly vegetal undertones. Not to give the wrong impression (as this may not sound appealing at first, but it is, trust me), but with these it's almost like you can taste a hint of the green stems/leaves/foliage of the violets as well as the flower itself. I prefer strong, sharp, bold flavors in anything edible (I suspect I'm a bit of a "nontaster", with less taste perception than average), so these mints are perfect for me.The sole glaring downside, honestly, is the price. They're rather expensive for what they are and how many you get (only 15 per roll, and they're small and dissolve rapidly). Since I enjoy them so much, I'm going to see if I can find them cheaper and/or in bulk elsewhere, as I go through them so quickly.

Delivered on time and carefully wrapped. I’d expect the same taste and quality this candy has always had and would definitely order from you again.

I bought some of these candies awhile back and really liked them. I used to see them at "penny candy" stores years ago and about forgot the name of them. It wasn't until I looked up the name and then saw them sold on Amazon, that I had to get them again. They're a hard candy, small square shaped and purple in color. The flavor is really different but special. It's suppose to taste like the the actual flower essence of violets. I think it does.! I thought at first that maybe "Violets" is just a name for candy because of the purple color but flavored with Lavender(another flower used in desserts, also). Unfortunately, the flavoring is artificial according to the label, otherwise tastes great.! I maybe order some more again one day.

The first couple of times this tasted good, but by the third piece I noticed a chemical aftertaste. I threw out the rest of them.

One of my favorite hard candies. Love the violet flavor, however these ones are a bit strong and astringent straight out of the package. I plan to let them sit for a week or two in the open air of my Kitchen before eating more. 👍
