York Peppermint Patties - Yum!

Remember the TV commercials where someone would bite into a York Peppermint Patty and turn the whole area around them into a frozen winter wonderland? If you do then you know just how cool York Patties can taste. You know the taste sensation that they will give you and the great pleasure that awaits you.

This candy was first introduced in 1940 by the York Cone Company. The York Cone Company originally started as an ice cream company, but because of the extreme popularity of the Patties, they ended up concentrating just on those. They were a regional brand until they were acquired by Peter Paul in 1972 and taken nationally. By 1988, they were taken over by Hershey's.

York Peppermint Patties consist of a sugary, soft white peppermint middle area covered by a hard chocolate shell. While other chocolate covered peppermint candy bars are soft and almost gummy, York Patties are crisp and can easily be broken down the center. In fact, that's the quality test for them. This ensures that you get a great tasting and crisp taste sensation as soon as you bite into it.

The great taste of York candies are impossible to forget and that's why they continue to be popular more than 68 years after their release. They continue to gain new customers that can't get enough of the cool sweet peppermint taste.
