hard mints

Solid sugary discs

Hard mints are small, firm candies flavored with peppermint or spearmint, meant to be sucked rather than chewed.

They dissolve slowly, freshening breath over several minutes.

Common varieties include peppermints, starlight mints, and butter mints.

There's a bowl of hard mints by the restaurant exit.
