peppermints

Cool striped candies

Peppermints are hard candies flavored with peppermint oil, typically white with red stripes or solid white.

The word also refers to the peppermint plants themselves—a hybrid mint with a sharp, cooling flavor used in candies, teas, and flavoring: She always kept peppermints in her purse.

The garden was overrun with peppermint.
