Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

24 pieces (two packages) shipped unprotected in a paper envelope. 7 arrived intact.These things are fragile and need more careful packaging for shipping. Other than that, they're fine.
I bought several Christmas themed candies to make a small gift of candies for my mother-in-law. I knew that in the past she has had interest in getting mints to help keep her throat from being so dry. When the Soft (hard and dry as a rock) mint sticks arrived I really was disappointed!! There were several pieces that were broken, some in half and others were in several pieces. I didn't want to return it due to the fact that it is December, and didn't know if I could get one in time to make up a gift for her. I really didn't want to wait and find out that the next one is similarly damaged. These looked like they were old, hardened and not worth eating.
These were 6.99 and now I see no returns!! They are broken and so short you can not use them with hot chocolate bar (the reason that I bought them). Crooked way to sell something when it's lousy quality and unable to return. The photo depicts a medium Dunkin coffee cup (5" tall) next to the inferior peppermint sticks. PS It said in description that the size was 5.08" they meant the PACKAGE. Who cares the size of the pkg.????
1.0 out of 5 stars
Broken!! Short!! $$$$$ ridiculous AND nonreturnable

If I wanted peppermint pieces, I would have ordered that. The peppermint sticks came in an envelope - smashed beyond recognition. This was not what I expected. The item itself is delicious but many sticks were just peppermint "dust" so I did not get what I expected. Very disappointing. Quality item, very poor packaging!
