peppermint candy

Cool red twist

A candy flavored with peppermint oil, typically hard and often featuring red and white stripes.

The cool, sharp taste comes from menthol in the peppermint.

Peppermint candies range from small round discs to candy canes to soft mints: She unwrapped a peppermint candy after dinner.
