Atkinson's Mint Twists Crush Peppermint Gluten-Free Candy 8-oz

Love these peppermint bits for holiday baking. They last a long time if stored airtight. They are fairly uniform in size, which makes them ideal for cookies or topping. I also use them in peppermint bark. They have a good flavor, not too mild or not too sharp. While they may be slightly more expensive than buying candy canes to have to bash up, I value the convenience . It's often an annoyance to unwrap candy canes, so for me personally, I trade the convenience for the savings.

These are great if you want to save time opening a million candy canes and crushing them yourself. Great to top cupcakes/cakes. I incorporated them in cocoa rice krispie treats I made with peppermint marshmellows around Christmas. I do wish they bought more to stock at my store. They were gone in days and were never restocked. My rice kristie treats were such a hit I made more and ended up buying this product along with the other ingredients at another grocery store.

I bought this for a recipe. I was unimpressed with the recipe, but the crushed peppermint was amazing! You would think you could just grab some candy canes and crush them yourself, but the Atkinson's was all uniform in size, no too sharp pieces, and a great flavor. I just ate what was left over after the recipe.

The crushed peppermint is very helpful when my glucose levels are low. All you need is a 1/3 of a teaspoon to get your levels up. I carry sum in a snack size ziplock bag and keep it in my purse when I'm on the go.

I used to open and crush my own candy canes for our favorite Christmas cookies. Then I found these. So much easier!

I never saw this before and I really like that it's ready to use on Christmas cookies, or to rim hot chocolate or other holiday adult beverages.

I got this to use in my peppermint hot cocoa jars that I use for holiday gifts. The pieces were a little larger than I wanted but a quick burst in the coffee grinder ground it to powder - perfect for my use and SOOOO much easier than starting with peppermint candies! The piece size would be good for peppermint bark.

I actually bought this crushed version by accident but ended up creating peppermint milk. By melting it down in a hot water creating a syrup and then pouring that into some warm milk. So I have to say there are a lot of recipes and things you can use with this. It also helps that stubborn heartburn!

Had a good taste not bad value only real issue was there were a few VERY large pieces that I had to crush

Took longer than expected to come even after the expected date ! It arrived late wasn't in time for my event.
