YumEarth Organic Fruit Drops Hard Candy, Assorted Flavors, 4.25 Pound (Pack of 1) - Allergy Friendly, Non GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan (Packaging May Vary)

These are great and healthy mints. They're really long lasting, and the flavor is always excellent. I've tried a few other healthy mint alternatives, but I always keep coming back to these YumEarth mints. They are my favorites.I first bought them 9 years ago, and have been a regular repeat customer since. It's hard to find them in stores near me unfortunately, so I have to order them online. The brand itself is available, usually the lollipops or hard candy variety packs, but no stores ever seem to carry the peppermints.They come in a large box that has 6 separate resealable bags, and one bag has about 30 individually-wrapped mints in it. They have become more pricey over the years, but you could say the same about nearly everything anymore with the way the economy is presently. Some would balk at the idea of paying this much for mints, and I understand. But for me, they are still worthwhile knowing I am indulging in a favorite little luxury treat that's also organic, and relatively good for both the planet and my body.Yes, you could get those little peppermint disc hard candies with the red stripes (or sometimes green stripes) you see everywhere for far less money and have a similar experience, but those are made with artificial dyes and flavors, and I'm guessing not manufactured in a sustainable, planet-friendly way, and I personally prefer to choose better options than that when possible.I've recently tried VerMints as an alternative brand similar to YumEarth. Their mints are smaller and come in little tins, like Altoids basically, but VerMints use healthier ingredients than Altoids and they are organic too. (Altoids have a type of sugar that is not that great for digestion, so they usually bother my stomach a bit.)The VerMints come in a variety of fun flavors, and I'd probably consider them my 2nd choice after these YumEarth, but they are much smaller mints (again more like Altoids) rather than the hard candy style of these YumEarth ones.The VerMints have pretty good mint flavor too, but they don't last very long at all by comparison. I'd have to go through 3 or 4 of the VerMints to get the same effect as one of the YumEarth ones, and I much prefer the hard candy style of the YumEarth ones as well. The smoothness of these hard candies provides a much more pleasant mouth feel than the rougher "chalkiness" of the VerMints and Altoids.Even though these YumEarth mints are on the pricey side, I'd still say give them a try if you're debating it. Whether they are worth it or not in the long run depends on the individual, but for me they continue to be satisfying and enjoyable year after year, and I also really appreciate that they are planet friendly.

I really enjoy the flavor and the hardness, which helps these last longer. Not all mint flavor is the same; some can be kind of skunky. But not these; their spot-on and I find myself eating too many of them. It's great to find a healthier, not chemical-laden candy that I can feel good about enjoying. I highly recommend this product.

I purchase Yum Yum Wild Organic Peppermint Candy because I feel it is the healthiest hard candy on today's market. I love the taste, the candy melts slowly in your mouth and it clears my sinuses which makes me feel better. I do not like to be without these candies so I always keep a handful in my purse. When I am at the wheel driving especially in congested traffic, I reach into my purse and pop a Yum Yum Organic Peppermint Candy in my mouth and it relaxes me.

Love the strong taste of peppermint in this candy without all the added chemicals.

Delicious, but you don’t get much ofIt for the price.

No artificial colors , no bad sugars , and the best ingredients…

My Dad loved YumEarth lollipops so I sent him a huge box of them from Amazon on Subscription on a regular basis for years. He always carried some in his shirt pocket and brought bags of the lollipops to doctors, pharmacists, gas station attendants, grocery store clerks, and folks at the casino. He had two every night before bed while reading. I can not see them without thinking of Dad and the joy the suckers brought to him. I took a chance on the YumEarth Organic Pomegranate Hard Candies and I must say that I struck gold. Not having my father's naturally good luck, I wasn't sure if I'd like these as much as he liked his lollipops, but I love them. My favorite flavor of the suckers was always the pomegranate and these are even tastier. The diameter is small but they are thicker, more suitable for hard candy without a stick. I'm not a fan of the paper sticks, even in the YumEarth varieties, so these are a natural winner for me.ADDENDUM: I since purchased a box of the peppermint variety and they are even better than the pomegranate! They are a bit larger and the wrapper slips off easier, so I can get it into my mouth faster. The peppermint is very strong, "stark" as my Mother would have said. She would not have liked these because they are a burning peppermint, not a sweet candy flavor, making them more desirable for my liking. I've recently purchased peppermint tea and a few types of peppermint candies and gums. This is the strongest, most flavorful of all.

Great price for brand.

Awesome product. I have used this product for years and could always buy it in Canada. Now we can not purchase it in Canada any longer and was very happy to be able to find it on Amazon.ca. It works very quickly to relieve inflammation in muscles and joints. The best part is that it is scent free. I have several allergies and find many products have too many smells for me to tolerate. Would highly recommend buying this product.

Yummy, kids love these. Just a pity there are no lollies of the same type/flavour.

As advertised and arrived in a timely manner.

I order these all the time as a gift for a friend she loves them!

Hands down, these are the best mints on the market.
