National Peppermint Patty Day

Peppermint Patties are a type of candy that consists of a soft, mint-flavored filling coated in a layer of dark chocolate. They are typically round in shape and are known for their refreshing mint flavor and smooth, creamy texture. Peppermint Patties were first introduced in the United States in the late 1800s, but it was the York Peppermint Pattie, created by the York Cone Company, that made them popular in the 1920s. Today, Peppermint Patties are produced by a number of candy manufacturers and are enjoyed by people all over the world. In addition to their delicious flavor, Peppermint Patties are also a low-fat and low-calorie candy option, making them a popular treat for people who are watching their weight. They are also often used in baking and dessert recipes, where their minty flavor can add a refreshing twist to traditional desserts like brownies, cupcakes, and cookies.
