Andes Crème De Menthe:
As the number one after-dinner mint, Andes Crème de Menthe delivers a smooth blend of mint and chocolate flavors–the perfect post-meal treat.
The iconic, rectangular three-layered candy‚ green mint sandwiched between two thin cocoa-based layers‚ became instantly popular after its 1950 launch, and it has remained an American favorite ever since. The individually foil-wrapped, bite-sized pieces enhance any social gathering or event, yet remain equally popular as self-indulgent treats.
Its success has spawned a host of other tasty Andes candies, including:
-
Cherry Jubilee: Same trademarked 3-layer rectangular construction as Andes Crème de Menthe, with a flavored middle that includes real bits of cherries.
-
Toffee Crunch: A delicate, rectangular wedge of smooth, buttery toffee flavor.
-
Mint Parfait: A mint-lovers favorite that inverts the Crème de Menthe construction, offering two creamy, mint layers surrounding a rich, chocolate-flavored middle.
-
Peppermint Crunch: Each delicious and creamy, foil wrapped piece contains crunchy bits of peppermint. These festive candies are perfect for candy dishes, or as a refreshing dinner treat!
-
Mint Cookie Crunch: The same mint flavor you love, with a light cookie crunch!

Andes Candies was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1921 by Andrew Kanelos. Originally called Andy's Candies, the business produced a variety of boxed chocolates which it sold from a small Chicago storefront. The business grew to include 150 stores. With the expansion of the business, a factory was built to supply the stores, and the name was changed to Andes Candies.
In 1950, the Andes store product line was increased to include the Crème de Menthe candy piece. This three-layer mint has remained the cornerstone of the brand. Today, this delicious and refreshing candy is the number one selling after-dinner mint.
Over the years, Andes has expanded to include a variety of flavors and packages, including the popular Cherry Jubilee, Mint Parfait, Toffee Crunch Thins, and seasonal Peppermint Crunch.
Andes joined the Tootsie family in 2000, expanding its line in 2003 to include Crème de Menthe baking chips. Peppermint Crunch Baking Chips were added in 2005.
