buttermint

Soft mint sweet

A buttermint is a soft, creamy mint candy made with butter, powdered sugar, and peppermint flavoring.

The texture is smooth and melt-in-your-mouth rather than hard like a traditional peppermint.

Buttermints are pastel-colored and often served at weddings, showers, and receptions: The caterer set out dishes of buttermints by the door.
