What Are Buttermints?
Buttermints are soft, creamy mints known for their smooth texture and refreshing mint flavor.
Unlike hard peppermint candies, buttermints are designed to dissolve gradually in your mouth.
They're sometimes called wedding mints, dinner mints, pillow mints, or butter mints because they're commonly served at receptions, restaurants, hotels, parties, and other events.
Individually wrapped buttermints are especially convenient when serving larger groups. The wrappers help keep the candy protected while making it easy for guests to grab a mint from candy bowls, reception tables, welcome baskets, and favor bags.
Why We Like Individually Wrapped Buttermints
One reason buttermints remain popular is their simplicity.
You don't need complicated displays or elaborate packaging to serve them.
Fill a decorative bowl, glass jar, candy dish, or basket with individually wrapped mints, and guests can easily help themselves.
They can also be coordinated with event colors, themes, holidays, sports celebrations, and special occasions.
Whether you're preparing for a wedding reception or simply stocking the candy bowl at your business, there is probably a buttermint design that fits the occasion.
