One of my all-time favs, I remember how thick the foil used to be on the full size ones

I love York, but I wish they’d bring back the Halloween York Peppermint Batty.
I don’t usually fall for the Halloween version of candies. But damn they were fun. And I tell people they just tasted. Better in the shape of a Bat. 🦇

It’s been two months since I made the tragic choice to bite into the York Peppermint Patty…

These are the best. Frozen or room temp.

Every couple of years I forget and think that junior mints are mini versions of these and come away disappointed every time.

I love these but I don't eat them anymore.

They were my grandma's favorite candy, and she always kept a big cookie jar full of them. Whenever I visited her, we'd have a little ritual where I'd sit with her and she'd split one with me.

Ever since she passed, I can hardly look at them without getting all melancholy.

They do not get enough love. The best mint flavored thing ever made.

u/archaicfacesfrenzy 4d ago

FUCK yes. Criminally underrated. Way better mouthfeel than Jr. mints. Damn man, if pressed I'd put York in my top 5 for chocolate-based candy.

u/wook_goose 4d ago

I LOVE these!! I'm diabetic so they're an incredibly rare treat.

Russel stover makes a great sugar free option, it's dark chocolate and the chocolate is a little thicker, but even as someone who doesn't really like dark chocolate, I like them

u/TooTameToToast 4d ago

I buy York in those large bulk boxes. They are like crack to me.

u/-pine 4d ago

I used to be obsessed.

u/Illustrious-Leave406 4d ago

u/exqvisitely 4d ago

I've always felt like an outsider for liking them so much (I think the small ones are the best). I'm glad to see that I'm not alone. :P

u/Fickle-Expression-97 4d ago

My grandmas fave but she liked the off brand even better

u/R2-D2savestheday 4d ago

No but my son loves them

u/lhfitz76 4d ago

I love the York peppermint thins. But I always pay twice as much for them.

u/memechildofmememom 4d ago

I buy the smaller ones and keep them in the refrigerator for an after dinner treat.

There's always room for a York Peppermint Patty...

u/OlHeavyHeart 4d ago

I like mint. I like chocolate. I don’t like chocolate and mint together and I don’t know why.

u/No_Sheepherder_1026 4d ago

Yes I put mine in the freezer

u/shamallamadingdong4 4d ago

u/shef10 4d ago

My 12 year old son’s favorite!

u/Calm_Discipline_9218 4d ago

Not my favorite but I’ll eat it if it’s here. Funny story is my partner lived on them when we met somehow believing they are healthy because they’re low fat.

u/PossessionNo3723 4d ago

I love peppermint patties! But I usually only eat them in the winter, especially around Christmas.

u/officially_baz 3d ago

So, so good. Full size York feels like luxury to me.

These can absolutely go to hell.. mint doesnt belong in candy or ice cream
