These have become surprisingly difficult to find—they’re a throwback candy from the 1940s called “reception sticks”. There are two classics made by Bogdon’s:
- Peppermint poles
- Double dip mint
I usually get peppermint poles at World Market, but they didn’t carry them in 2023 :/
They can be served with hot cocoa or added to wrapped presents with the bow.
Delicious and fun alternative to candy canes.
