Mints – Peppermint, Spearmint, Chocolate and Traditional Mint Sweets

Mints bring together some of the freshest flavours and most distinctive textures in confectionery. From crisp Mint Imperials and striped humbugs to creamy Murray Mints, chewy spearmint sweets, extra-strong peppermint tablets and elegant after-dinner chocolates, there is considerably more to the mint sweet than first meets the eye.

Our collection includes traditional British favourites, familiar branded mints, soft and chewy varieties, hard-boiled sweets, pocket-sized tubes, mint tins, individually wrapped hospitality mints, chocolate-covered treats and sugar-free alternatives. Whether you want something refreshing after dinner or a bulk supply for an office, wedding or restaurant, these are mint-flavoured Sweets for every taste and occasion.

Discover Mints for Every Taste

Not all mints taste or feel alike. Peppermint delivers a cool, aromatic flavour, while spearmint tends to be softer and slightly sweeter. Texture can range from the delicate crumble of a Mint Imperial to the glass-like firmness of a boiled sweet, the immediate softness of a compressed mint or the smooth centre of a chocolate mint.

Our collection encompasses:

• Traditional peppermint sweets
• Sweet and mellow spearmint mints
• Extra-strong mints with a powerful flavour
• Soft mints and chewy mint sweets
• Hard mints and clear boiled varieties
• Chocolate mints and after-dinner treats
• Mint humbugs, Mint Imperials and Everton Mints
• Sugar-free mint alternatives
• Individually wrapped and hospitality mints
• Bulk mints for sharing, events and businesses

Some are discreet enough to finish a meal politely. Others possess sufficient peppermint determination to make the eyes widen and the afternoon feel unexpectedly well ventilated.

Peppermint Mints

Peppermint is the flavour most closely associated with traditional mint confectionery. It combines gentle sweetness with a cool, clean finish, making it equally suited to hard sweets, soft tablets, crumbly centres and chocolate fillings.

Explore our wider collection of Peppermint Sweets for traditional and contemporary varieties. Customers who prefer a long-lasting sweet can choose boiled peppermint favourites, while those seeking something quicker and softer may prefer compressed or crumbly mints.

Peppermint sweets are particularly popular after meals, with tea or coffee and during journeys. They also work beautifully in sweet jars because their flavour remains distinctive without needing extravagant colours or novelty shapes.

Spearmint Sweets

Spearmint offers a sweeter and more rounded flavour than the sharper character commonly associated with peppermint. It works especially well in chewy sweets, soft mints and striped confectionery.

Our Spearmint collection includes products for customers who enjoy a gentler mint flavour, while Spearmint Chews provide a soft, satisfyingly chewy alternative to traditional hard mints.

For a recognisable branded format, Polo Spearmint Mints combine the familiar ring shape with a sweeter spearmint taste.

Trebor Mints

Trebor Mints are among Britain’s most recognisable branded mint sweets. The name is closely associated with extra-strong peppermint mints and softer pressed varieties, giving customers a choice between formidable freshness and something a little more restrained.

Trebor Extra Strong Mints are designed for people who want their peppermint to make an immediate entrance. Soft mints provide a gentler texture while retaining the clean mint flavour expected from the brand.

Both styles are convenient for work, travel and everyday use. They also demonstrate that “mint” is not one particular texture: it can be crisp, compressed, crumbly, chewy or remarkably unwilling to compromise.

Polo Mints

Few mint sweets are as instantly recognisable as Polo. The famous ring-shaped Polo Original Mint combines a firm compressed texture with classic peppermint flavour in a convenient pocket-sized tube.

Polo mints are easy to carry, share and enjoy throughout the day. Their distinctive hole makes them visually unique, although it contributes surprisingly little to the nutritional value.

Original peppermint, spearmint and sugar-free options provide different ways to enjoy the familiar format. Customers seeking an alternative without sugar can choose Polo Sugar Free Mints, subject to the ingredients and dietary guidance shown on the pack.

Murray Mints

Murray Mints occupy their own distinctive corner of British confectionery. Rather than delivering the immediate sharpness of an extra-strong peppermint, they combine a gentle mint flavour with creamy sweetness and a traditional boiled-sweet texture.

The result is mellow, nostalgic and wonderfully long-lasting. Murray Mints are ideal for car journeys, traditional sweet jars and anyone who wants mint flavour without feeling as though they have stepped into an Arctic weather system.

Everton Mints

With their distinctive striped appearance and traditional character, Everton Mints are a genuine sweet-shop classic. Their combination of a firm exterior, mint flavour and contrasting centre provides more texture than a standard pressed mint.

Enjoy them from a traditional bag, add them to a nostalgic sweet selection or choose a Jar of Everton Mints for a giftable display that looks every bit as good as it tastes.

Fox’s Glacier Mints

Fox’s Glacier Mints are clear, hard-boiled sweets recognised for their smooth surface and cool peppermint flavour. Their transparent appearance distinguishes them from opaque compressed mints and striped humbugs.

Glacier Mints dissolve slowly, making them an excellent choice for people who prefer long-lasting hard sweets. The clarity also gives them a clean, almost jewel-like appearance, although keeping actual jewellery loose in a sweet bag remains inadvisable.

Mint Imperials

Mint Imperials combine a crisp white exterior with a softer, delicately crumbly centre. Their smooth, rounded appearance and refreshing peppermint flavour have made them enduring favourites in sweet jars, restaurants, wedding favours and after-dinner bowls.

They can be allowed to dissolve gradually or bitten into for a quicker release of peppermint. The changing texture separates them from consistently hard boiled sweets and immediately soft mint tablets.

Mint Imperials are available in traditional bags, branded varieties, jars, letterbox gifts and generous bulk formats, including options for vegan and sugar-free diets. Always check the individual product information when buying for a specific dietary requirement.

Mint Humbugs and Black and White Mints

Mint Humbugs are traditional striped boiled sweets with a long-lasting mint flavour. Their classic appearance immediately recalls old-fashioned sweet shops, glass jars and paper bags weighed carefully behind the counter.

Customers who enjoy striped confectionery can also discover Black and White Mints. These visually distinctive sweets add texture and traditional character to mixed mint selections.

Humbugs and striped mints are particularly well suited to retro sweet collections, travel bags and household jars. They last longer than soft sweets and demand rather less attention than chewing gum.

Extra-Strong Mints

For customers who regard subtle peppermint as a missed opportunity, our Extra Strong Mints provide a more powerful flavour.

These bold mints are popular with customers seeking an immediate, concentrated peppermint taste. They are commonly supplied in convenient rolls, packets or pocket-sized formats that are easy to keep in a bag, desk drawer or car.

Strength varies between brands and products. Begin with one and allow the flavour to develop before approaching the packet with the confidence of someone who has misunderstood a warning.

Soft Mints and Chewy Mints

Not every mint needs to be hard. Soft Mints provide a smoother texture that begins yielding almost immediately, making them appealing to customers who prefer something less resistant than a boiled sweet.

Chewy mint sweets offer a different experience again. Products such as spearmint chews release their flavour through a soft, elastic texture rather than a crisp shell or compressed tablet.

These varieties are ideal for mixed mint assortments because they introduce textural contrast alongside hard mints, Mint Imperials and traditional humbugs.

Butter Mints and Mint Toffees

Butter Mints bring creamy sweetness to the cooling character of mint. Their gentler flavour makes them popular at weddings, celebrations and after-dinner tables where an extra-strong peppermint might feel needlessly confrontational.

For something richer and chewier, Mint Toffees combine peppermint flavour with the satisfying pull and mellow sweetness of traditional toffee.

These creamier styles are useful for customers who enjoy mint but do not necessarily want the sharpest product in the collection.

After-Dinner Mints

Serving a mint after a meal is one of confectionery’s more civilised traditions. Our collection of Dinner Mints includes refreshing sweets designed to provide a neat conclusion to lunch, dinner, dessert or coffee.

Traditional peppermint sweets can be served in a decorative bowl, while individually wrapped products are practical for restaurants, hotels and larger gatherings. A Jar of After Dinner Mints makes it easy to keep a generous supply ready for guests.

They are equally useful at home. A single mint after dinner suggests restraint and sophistication. Taking five while standing beside the jar suggests you have correctly identified where the jar is kept.

Chocolate Mints

Chocolate and mint form one of confectionery’s most dependable partnerships. Cooling mint fondant or flavoured chocolate cuts through cocoa richness, producing a treat that feels refreshing and indulgent at the same time.

Browse our Mint Chocolate collection for bars, truffles, creams and after-dinner favourites. Classic After Eight Mints pair dark chocolate with a smooth mint centre, while Lindt Lindor Dark Mint Chocolate Truffles provide a richer, more luxurious interpretation.

Customers seeking a broader selection can explore our After Dinner Chocolate Mints for elegant treats suited to gifting, sharing and serving with coffee.

American Mints and Imported Favourites

British mint sweets tend to favour peppermint tablets, boiled humbugs and after-dinner chocolates. American confectionery adds different textures and presentations, including chocolate-covered mint creams and pocket-sized tins.

Junior Mints combine a smooth mint centre with a chocolate coating, while Barkleys Mints offer a convenient tin format with proper pocket and travel appeal.

These imported varieties make entertaining additions to mint gift boxes and mixed confectionery selections, particularly for customers who enjoy trying sweets beyond familiar British brands.

SMINT and Pocket Mints

Compact mint dispensers and tins are useful when loose sweets or larger bags would be impractical. SMINT Mints provide a small, convenient format suited to handbags, pockets, desk drawers and travel.

Pocket mints are ideal for keeping within reach throughout the day. Their enclosed packaging protects them from moisture and prevents the mysterious layer of handbag debris that no mint has ever requested.

Sugar-Free Mints

Our Sugar Free Mints provide alternatives for customers who prefer products formulated without conventional sugar. The range can include peppermint, spearmint, clear mints, humbugs and branded varieties.

Sugar-free does not automatically mean calorie-free, carbohydrate-free, vegan or suitable for every medical diet. Recipes use different sweetening ingredients, and some products may carry guidance about excessive consumption.

Always consult the exact ingredients, nutritional information and dietary statements displayed on the product packaging. Customers purchasing larger quantities can also browse Sugar Free Mints in Bulk.

Individually Wrapped Mints

Individually Wrapped Mints are practical for restaurants, hotels, offices, conferences, weddings and customer reception areas. Each wrapper protects the sweet until it is ready to be enjoyed while making portions easy to distribute.

Wrapped mints work particularly well:

• Beside restaurant bills and coffee service
• Inside hotel rooms and welcome trays
• At conferences and corporate events
• Within wedding favour boxes
• On reception desks and customer counters
• Inside gift bags and promotional hampers

Hospitality businesses can browse our dedicated collection of Hotel Mints for more convenient serving formats.

Bulk Mints for Offices, Events and Hospitality

Larger bags and tubs are useful for offices, restaurants, hotels, weddings, conferences, sweet tables and households with an impressively efficient mint jar.

Our Mints in Bulk collection makes it easier to purchase generous quantities of traditional and contemporary favourites. Available formats can vary between products, so check the stated weight, wrapping and packaging before ordering.

Bulk mints are especially practical for:

• Refilling sweet jars and reception bowls
• Preparing wedding favours
• Restaurant and hotel service
• Office kitchens and meeting rooms
• Conference and exhibition stands
• Party tables and celebration displays
• Creating mint-themed hampers

Mints for Weddings

White Mint Imperials, soft mints, butter mints and wrapped after-dinner sweets all suit weddings beautifully. Their understated colours work with most decorative schemes, while peppermint provides guests with a refreshing alternative to rich chocolates and fruit-flavoured confectionery.

Use mints in glass jars, favour boxes, organza bags, candy carts and after-dinner bowls. Wrapped varieties are especially useful when preparing individual place settings.

When accommodating dietary preferences, keep vegan, sugar-free and standard confectionery clearly separated and retain the relevant ingredient information for guests.

Choosing the Best Mints

The best mints depend on the experience you prefer:

• Choose peppermint mints for a clean, cooling flavour.
• Choose spearmint sweets for something sweeter and more rounded.
• Choose extra-strong mints for maximum flavour intensity.
• Choose soft mints for a gentler, yielding texture.
• Choose Mint Imperials for a crisp shell and crumbly centre.
• Choose humbugs for a traditional striped boiled sweet.
• Choose Murray Mints for creamy sweetness and mild mint flavour.
• Choose chocolate mints for an indulgent after-dinner treat.
• Choose wrapped mints for hospitality, weddings and events.
• Choose sugar-free mints when seeking a specially formulated alternative.

Ingredients and Dietary Information

There is no single ingredient statement covering every mint sweet. Hard-boiled humbugs, pressed peppermint tablets, soft mints, chocolate-covered centres and sugar-free products all use different recipes.

The same applies to vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten-related suitability. A simple peppermint flavour or white appearance does not confirm a product’s dietary status.

Always review the ingredient list, allergen declaration and nutritional information supplied with the exact item. Recipes and manufacturing environments can change, so current packaging should take priority over general information about a brand or category.

How to Store Mints

Keep mints in a cool, dry place away from heat, direct sunlight and moisture. Reseal opened bags carefully or transfer loose sweets to an airtight container.

Moisture can soften hard sweets, affect crumbly mints and cause individual pieces to stick together. Strong mint flavours can also transfer to neighbouring confectionery, so consider storing peppermint sweets separately from delicate fruit or cream flavours.

Correct storage helps protect flavour and texture while ensuring every sweet remains recognisably individual rather than joining its companions to form one enormous communal mint.
