Junior Mints

Minty movie candy

Junior Mints is a brand of small, round candy consisting of mint-flavored fondant coated in dark chocolate.

Sold in boxes at movie theaters and convenience stores, they're a classic American movie snack: I always get Junior Mints at the movies.

The name suggests a smaller version of a hypothetical "senior" mint.
