A sweet day to celebrate, just ahead of Valentine’s Day -- it’s National Peppermint Patty Day!
Crisp on the outside, yet soft and creamy on the inside, these minty chocolates have been a traditional favorite of many for decades.
The first peppermint patties in the United States were made by candy makers as early as 1900.
Some of the most popular are York Peppermint Patties -- originally out of York Cone Company in Pennsylvania.
