Violet Mints Candy Bag | Bold Aromatic Flavor | Perfect for Travel, Sharing, and Gifting | Nostalgic Vintage Candy | Resealable Bag for Freshness | 4 Oz (64 Individually Wrapped Mints)

I was in the mood for a little nostalgia so I ordered C. Howards gum. Reminded me of my childhood days. Still has that great taste. I was so gluttonous I ate a whole bag in a day. Then ordered two more bags.

Best candy.. For me..

Greatest

Gone in a week

CHOWARDS has been around for years, the flavor of these little guys is GREAT!!!! IT'S A MUST TRY!!!!

I decided to try these because the Chowards mints that came in the 15 pack kept crumbling and leaving a mess in my pocket (a nice smelling mess). These mints are individualy wrapped so I don't have to worry about them doing that. I don't think they taste the same as the square shaped mints. They are not as sweet and perfumey. I don't have that violet taste lingering in my mouth after I eat them. They are also harder. It is almost like you have to let them dissolve in your mouth instead of biting them. They are still good but I am going to go back to purchasing the square mints because I like those better.

Choward’s violets taste unlike anything you have ever had, yet they are instantly recognizable as tasting like violet flowers. This is the first I was aware they made candy mints in this flavor. I have previously only seen them almost exclusively sold in the NYC subway news stands, and only in the format of chewing gum. They are sold as chiclets type pieces of gum that taste exactly the same as the violet candy mints (only the gum lasts longer). The violet flavor is a powerful breath saver and a nice change from the tired old spearmint, wintergreen mint stuff. If you forget and leave one in your pocket, your laundry may smell like spring flowers.

These candies brought back my childhood. My great grandmother and I would walk to the corner store every Sunday after church and she would buy me a package of Choward Violet mint candies. I was only about 3 years old, but l remember her old hand holding on to mine as we both tottered down to the corner, my mom in tow, to get out candy. It’s a pleasant memory, and one of the few I have of my early childhood. My Great Grandma died before I reached 4 years old. I don’t remember her face, but I remember the warmth of her hand and her generous heart and I remember how much I love the flavor of Choward’s Violet Mints to this day!

So delicious. Very floral and tastes like true violet. Leaves my breath sweetly scented.

These aren’t for everyone. I love them. They are a taste from my youth when I used to buy something similar at a famous candy shop in Banff, AB. You love them or you hate them. Some say they taste like soap. I don’t agree.

Used for a gift!!!

So good, ordered for my daughter's wedding for the guests

It tastes horrible. Similar to my grandmas vase water after she ashes in it.
