About Us
In 1932, the Van Melle brothers took a train to Poland. This trip sparked the beginning of a Fresh New World. They had a vision of a peppermint flavored caramel candy to go by the name of Mentos. Mentos were manufactured in The Netherlands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 40-count bag a reasonable goody bag or party favor size for a kids' birthday party?
Yes. A single bag holds exactly 40 rolls, which is a perfect match for a classroom-style party of 30 to 40 guests with a few extras for siblings. You can hand one to each child at the door and avoid the cost and waste of pre-bagging individual treats.
Can I use these as stocking stuffers or small holiday gifts for coworkers?
The roll format is ideal for stuffing into stockings, hanging on a small tree, or tucking into a holiday gift bag for a coworker or neighbor. Pair a few rolls with a coffee gift card or tea sampler for an inexpensive but thoughtful seasonal present.
Is this a good last-minute gift when I do not have time to wrap or ship something?
Because the rolls come in a ready-to-give peg bag, you can grab one at most grocery or convenience stores on your way to the event. There is no wrapping required, and the bag itself looks cheerful and giftable straight from the store shelf.
Will my friend who follows a gluten-free diet be able to enjoy this gift?
Yes, Mentos Chewy Mints are gluten-free certified, so they are a safe pick for friends with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Just double-check the package at the time of purchase for the most current allergen information.
Can I mix these rolls with other candies to build a custom candy buffet?
Absolutely. The bright fruit flavor and individually wrapped format make these rolls easy to drop into jars, scoops, or cellophane bags as part of a larger candy table. The 40-count bulk size gives you plenty of pieces to fill several containers.
What is the best way to present a peg bag as a hostess gift or thank-you?
Tie a ribbon around the peg hole, slip the bag into a clear cellophane gift sleeve, or pair it with a small bottle of wine or a fresh flower bouquet. A 5-minute presentation upgrade turns an inexpensive grocery item into a thoughtful hostess gift.
How does this chewy mint compare to a fancy chocolate box as a gift?
Chocolate boxes are lovely but perishable and often dietary-restricted, while chewy mints are shelf-stable, gluten-free, and broadly appealing across ages. The Mentos brand carries nostalgia and recognizability, which gives the gift a fun, lighthearted tone.
Is a bulk bag of mints too impersonal to give as a romantic or sentimental gift?
For a romantic occasion, pair the bag with a handwritten note, a small piece of jewelry, or a candle to create a layered gift. The candy becomes the playful, casual element of a more meaningful bundle rather than the main present on its own.
Would this work as a corporate giveaway or trade show swag item?
Yes. The peg bag format is essentially pre-packaged swag, and the recognizable brand draws people to your booth. Many businesses order a few cases at a time for trade shows, conferences, and client appreciation events.
I am worried the recipient will think a bag of mints is a cheap or lazy gift. Will they appreciate it?
Pairing the bag with a small upgrade like a ribbon, a card, or a complementary gift completely changes the perceived value. The chewy mint itself is a fun, low-stakes treat that most people genuinely enjoy rather than a placeholder they will regift.
Can I give this to someone with dietary restrictions beyond gluten-free?
Mentos Chewy Mints are gluten-free, but they do contain sugar and coconut oil derivatives, so they may not fit every restriction. Check the package for the most current ingredient and allergen details before gifting to someone with a strict dietary protocol.
Is this appropriate to send in a college care package?
Yes, the rolls are individually wrapped, lightweight, and shelf-stable, which makes them ideal for mailing in a care package. They are also a fun nostalgic treat that reminds students of childhood, which adds an emotional layer to your gift.
How should I store an opened peg bag to keep the rolls fresh?
The peg bag is designed to be resealable, so simply fold the top and tuck the peg hole over a hook or clip to keep air out. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and the rolls will stay fresh for several months.
Can I transfer the rolls into a candy jar or countertop dispenser?
Yes, the individually wrapped rolls are perfect for pouring into a glass jar, candy dish, or countertop dispenser. The wrappers keep the candy clean even in an open-air jar, so you get the visual appeal of a candy bowl with the hygiene of a sealed piece.
How long is the shelf life of an unopened bag?
Mentos Chewy Mints typically have a best-by date printed on the bag that is well over a year from the production date, making them a great pantry staple. Always check the printed date on the specific bag you purchase for the most accurate timeframe.
Does this product work with a specific office candy dispenser or vending machine?
The individually wrapped 1.32 oz rolls are sized to fit most standard countertop candy dispensers, vending machine coils, and small retail bins. Check the dimensions of your specific dispenser to confirm the roll fits before ordering in bulk.
Are these rolls compatible with a low-sugar or keto diet?
Mentos Chewy Mints are made with sugar and are not formulated for keto or low-sugar diets. If you are following a low-sugar lifestyle, look for sugar-free candy alternatives, as these rolls are designed for traditional sweet-candy enjoyment.
What is included in the bag when I open it?
Each bag contains 40 individually wrapped chewy mint rolls in the fruit flavor, ready to eat or share. The outer peg bag is resealable for ongoing freshness, and no additional accessories or refills are required.
Is it safe to leave this candy in a hot mailbox or delivery truck during shipping?
Chewy mints are more heat-tolerant than chocolate, but extreme summer heat can still affect texture. Most major retailers ship candy in temperature-managed or quick-transit conditions, and the rolls are wrapped individually, so brief heat exposure is unlikely to ruin the product.
What if my rolls arrive melted or stuck together?
Because the rolls are individually wrapped, even if the candy softens, the wrappers usually prevent pieces from fusing. Refrigerate the bag for an hour after delivery to firm up the texture, and the chewy mints should return to their original consistency.
What is the difference between chewy mints and hard-pressed mints?
Hard-pressed mints are compressed into a small disc and dissolve quickly in your mouth, while chewy mints have a softer, taffy-like texture that lasts several minutes. Chewy mints are often preferred for their longer-lasting flavor and gentler bite, while hard mints are favored for their quick breath-freshening effect.
