Bob's Sweet Stripes Soft Mint Candy is a Tasty Holiday Treat

Every year I look forward to the holiday season for many reasons. One such reason is the availability of Bob's Sweet Stripes Soft Mint Candy. These tasty little peppermint sticks are terrific for enjoying on the go, to stuff into holiday stockings and also to freshen up your mouth after a delicious holiday meal.

These soft peppermint candies have the unique distinction of melting in your mouth. They look exactly like a traditional candy cane, minus the curve, but do not stay firm and rigid for as long as those treats. They melt in your mouth after a few minutes which not only enhances the flavor but makes it linger long after the treat is gone.

Bob's Sweet Stripes contain only forty five calories per stick with zero grams of Fat. There is absolutely no Trans Fat in this candy which is a nice perk. There is also no Sodium which is very good news for those who are following a Low Sodium diet. These treats can be enjoyed guilt free. However, there is eleven grams of Sugar per stick which may not be ssuch good news for dieters who are looking to drastically reduce their intake of sweets.

The ingredients listed on the back of the package state that this candy is made with sugar, peppermint oil and artificial coloring. Of course we must all be striving to fill our diets with more natural foods and ingredients and less artificial and processed ones, but the holidays are definitely the time to relax the rules a bit and enjoy a few favorite treats now and then. Instead of indulging in a sugar laden dessert that also has a great amount of Fat, these candy sticks can satisfy a sugar craving without the additional diet busting calories.

These little peppermint sticks are generally sold in a five ounce bag for only a dollar. This packaging makes it quite easy to slip a bag or two into a purse to indulge in while holiday shopping or to slip into even the smallest Christmas stocking. The cute little bags can also be affixed to the top of holiday gifts next to the gift tag to jazz up the wrapping and offer the recipient an extra treat.

Anyone who loves the taste of peppermint and enjoys the refreshing quality of this tasty treat will definitely love Bob's Sweet Stripes Soft Mint Candy. The wonderful texture, strong minty flavor and portability of this seasonal candy makes it a full five star product. Pick up a bag of these holiday treats today, I guarantee you will grow to love them as much as I do.
