With a bold bitter dark chocolate outside and a sweet-mint center, York Peppermint Patties are the perfect contrasting combo. Named after the city of York, Pennsylvania, where they originated from, these cool and crisp candies caused quite the commotion in the ‘70s. The commercials got very creative, to say the least – people compared the sensation of eating a peppermint pattie to being on top of the snow-covered Alps with a freezing breeze rushing through their bodies. People rushed to the stores after seeing this to experience it for themselves.
