## Description

Hard Candy

Review: Delightful Authentic French Candies - I am a fan of Choward’s violet flavor mints so I had to try these. They did not disappoint. The generous tin is very pretty with a vintage style label. It’s also unusual because the bottom of the container is plastic, while the top is tin. This is brilliant because it makes it so much easier to open, especially if you have longer fingernails, and it’s so pretty that you’re going to want to keep it and repurpose it when it’s empty. Inside, the white candies are non uniformly round but all of similar size. They almost look like a tin of pearls, very attractive. As soon as you put one in your mouth you get that subtle, pleasant taste of violet. Although they’ve been around since 1591, I imagine that these were a favorite during the Victorian era when violet flavoring was wildly popular. The candies are very hard, the warning on the tin reminds you not to bite them; they are not exaggerating. The candies slowly melt until you get down to the (anise) seed in the center, then you can bite and it’s very satisfying. Everything about these candies is high quality. They are a bit pricey, but definitely worth the price.
Review: Very European, with a subtle flavor and a beautiful tin - These are lovely, old-fashioned lightly flavored hard candies (not mints). And they are VERY hard: do not attempt to chew these, unless you wish to help your dentist make another boat payment, nor are they suitable for the same reason for children. The flavor is violet (yes, violets do have a distinct flavor) complemented by a hint of anise - very European, and not sugary-sweet like American hard candy. The violet and gold-toned tin is especially pretty. Great to carry in your purse.

## Features

- Violet: Soft, powdery violet flavour – floral and nostalgic – built around the sugar-coated anise.
- Made in France with heritage – These candies are produced in Burgundy (France) following a process dating back to 1591 in the village of Flavigny‑sur‑Ozerain.
- Single-anise seed center – Each candy begins with one green anise seed at its core, then is gradually coated in sugar syrup to become the finished mint.
- Iconic decorative tin packaging – The 1.8 oz size comes in a collectible, vintage-style tin (about 30 mints per tin) suitable for gifting or display.
- All-natural ingredients: The ingredients list is minimal: sugar, natural flavouring, green aniseed.

A: hello there are 20 calories per serving 3candies per serving sugars 5g

**Q: What's the difference between a five on the package and four on the back**

**Q: how many candies in a tin?**
A: Tin facts serving size 2 mints, serving 26 per serving. So 52 mints in one tin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love these but they had a weird aftertaste
*by E***I on October 30, 2024*

I usually purchase one mint tin at a time because they’re so pricey but I saw this deal on Amazon and decided to purchase. They don’t exactly taste the same. I don’t know if it’s due to where they’re stored but I don’t see myself buying these again. They do not come in a box. They’re wrapped in 3’s. Not appealing.
