A couple of weeks ago I discovered something that was life-changing. It was those three little words that took my breath away….
Junior. Mints. Deluxe.
The dark chocolate exterior…the cool and creamy mint centre.
Apparently these come out every year in the US during the holiday season, but I’ve never seen them in Canada. And if I’d known that they existed, I would have probably headed down to Florida with the snow birds by now.
Junior Mints are one of my all-time favorite candies, and these are just go above and beyond that. They are jumbo-sized JMs, similar in size to those chocolate covered cherries that you see around this time of year (not a fan of those), and the exterior is a hard dark chocolate (not soft like normal JMs). But its that super creamy mint centre, that almost spills out when you bite it that had me hooked. I may as well just exchange my holiday cocktail dress for a pair of XL Roots sweatpants.
Hi, just saw you on SITS. I’ve never seen that size of junior mints before but they look awesome. Your recipes also look great so I’ll definitely be back to steal some of those for myself!
