I keep these at church everyone loves them

Our favorite soft peppermints. Grands call them Papa's spicy candy. Easy on the teeth.

Candy wrappers are to difficult to open

Either I got a bad batch of Bob’s soft mints or they changed the recipe. Although the flavor is the same, it takes a whole lot longer for the mints to dissolve. Then if you chew them they are crunchy. That shouldn’t be. So disappointed!!

These Bob's so called "Soft" pepermints were anything BUT! These candies were like hard tack candy. Not like the typical melt in your mouth previous Bob's. Disappointed.

Staff snacks

I bought this knowing that Brach's bought out Bob’s, I figured I would give it a try. It’s not the same, they are harder and don’t melt like Bob’s did. The taste is alittle different as well, a stronger peppermint taste. I wished Brach’s would have kept with the way Bob’s made them and not changed anything.

Bob's Sweet Stripes have changed. I stocked up a bit on these, because they're one of the few things that tame sour stomach. The first two smaller boxes (162 pieces) from from Walmart were the lovely usual. A lovely soft mint with no bitterness. Then, I opened up one of these bigger containers. They're not soft, and the mint has a bitter edge, and the stripes are a darker red. When I opened up another of the smaller boxes, I also found that they're harder and bitter. These harder, more bitter mints are more along the lines of "starlight mints," not Bob's Sweet Stripes. The bitterness can actually trigger my acid reflux. I'm very, very disappointed, because original, traditional Bob's Sweet Stripes are one of the few things that helped nausea and sour stomach, without triggering my severe acid reflux. I really hope that Bob's Sweet Stripes are reverted back to the gentle, slightly sweet, and soft product that I loved.

I don't know why...but the two tubs of these I bought that were well within the expiration date (by 1 year!) are rock hard. Since I'm buying them for folks in the nursing home this is a problem. And they aren't even soft enough for me! I strongly suggest buying York's Peppermint Patties in bulk at Sams instead if you're looking for a totally consistent SOFT candy. The York's are more money, however, they're great tasting, ALWAYS soft, the wrapper is easier to open because it's easier to see, and the older folks especially enjoy them and appreciate them as a real treat.

We have bought these mints for years now and loved them. I must do a new review now though because they changed the recipe. Now they just taste & feel like big chunks of a candy cane. Please go back to the soft mints that we have all grown to love!!!
