History of National Peppermint Patty Day

Candy bars and chocolates are irresistibly sweet, offering a unique form of bliss. The peppermint patty stands out as a particularly healthier option, crafted from corn syrup, butter, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract. The combination of mint and chocolate creates a refreshing sensation that few can resist. It’s no wonder these patties are loved by many for their rich flavor.

The tradition of Peppermint Patty Day dates back to the 19th century. The Quiggin family, based on the Isle of Man, began producing them in 1840. By 1880, the Kendal Mint Cake Company, founded by the Quiggin family’s sons, took peppermint patties to a larger scale. The York Cone Company introduced their famous version in 1940, which gained even more popularity when Hershey acquired it in 1988. Every year on February 11, we celebrate this confectionery delight.
