mint jellies

Green gelatin sweets

Mint jellies are small, soft candies flavored with mint and coated in sugar crystals.

They have a slightly chewy, gelatinous texture and come in pale green or white.

Common at holidays and often served alongside lamb, they occupy a nostalgic corner of the candy world: Grandma always kept a dish of mint jellies on the sideboard.
