Junior Mints PastelsJunior Mints went with a Valentine’s Limited Edition candy last month, but this month they seem like they’re having trouble committing to the Easter holiday. I picked up this Limited Edition Junior Mints Pastels at the Dollar Tree last week. They’re unlike any other the other Limited Edition Junior Mints so far (the others were Inside Out ... a white confectionary coating with a chocolate cream center).
The Junior Mint Pastels are a “smooth colorful coating” with the traditional Junior Mint flowing minty fondant center. They come in two colors, which barely qualifies them for the plural of pastel: creamy yellow and turquoise blue. I’m not sure why they didn’t throw a little pink and green in there. The term “smooth colorful coating” is rather appropriate here. I have no idea what else to call it. It’s firm and doesn’t quite have the same mouth-feel as chocolate. It’s all sugar, partially hydrogenated oils and milk. It’s sweet, and um, colorful. It tastes like it has a slight bit of salt to it, which is good because this whole candy is very sweet ... throat blisteringly, tooth-achingly sweet. I found them compelling, as odd as they are. But I’m often a sucker for minty white mockolate. I’m never buying them again though, as I much prefer the dark chocolate Junior Mints - the bittersweet chocolate offsets the sugary center much better. But I’ll likely finish this box.

I’ve yet to see a Junior Mints edition that improves on the original. Mmmm, Junior Mints!
Limited Edition Junior Mints?
That’s it! I’m totally now waiting for the Limited Edition Reverse Sno-Caps.
my mom sent me some for easter and they are different
they taste like the cowtails(caramel and sugar candy you know)
i prefer the original.
i thought it was chocolate dyed colored when i first got it.
where can I buy the junior mint pastels
I AM COMPLETLY ADDICTED TO THE PASTEL JUNIOR MINTS ! I got them at Dollar Tree, in Oregon and several locations had them, several didn’t. I CANNOT EAT CHOCOLATE so it was perfect, because I LOVE MINT. I agree they could have had MORE PASTEL COLORS, but overall, LOVE ‘EM ! Does anyone know of WHERE to find MORE ? They are all gone here.
