Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Cremes are mint candy bites. The 7 oz box describes them as soft, creamy and minty. Choose these when you want a candy center under chocolate. For a layered bite with a baked wafer, look for a peppermint sandwich cookie instead.
Read the product type before the flavor
Several packages use the same cues: peppermint, dark chocolate and a candy-cane motif. On this box, the key word is Cremes. The photo shows small chocolate-covered candy bites. On a sandwich cookie box, look for the cookie name and a visible wafer layer. The formats serve different jobs when you are building a dessert plate.
Give the mint candy its own place
Put a few cremes in a shallow dish beside coffee or tea. Offer a less minty choice in another dish if you are serving a group. If you are wrapping a small food gift, keep the box intact so the recipient can identify the candy and read the label. Use the ingredients and allergen statement for this exact box rather than relying on the name of a similar mint product.
