The Andes chocolate pieces are small little rectangular chunks of chocolate that are wrapped in a colorful piece of foil. They usually come in a pack and the individual pieces are easy to unwrap so you can get right to them with the least amount of frustration and hesitation. But don’t let their small size fool you. The Andes chocolates pack a punch of mint chocolate taste that you won’t be able to resist. The fact that they are small and bite-size only makes it harder to resist their scrumptious taste. I enjoy savoring the small pieces of chocolate by making then into three smaller bites rather than letting the taste go away so quickly.

Andes chocolate pieces have a rich chocolate taste and a smooth texture that makes your tongue savor the experience. One of the things I liked about these chocolate pieces was that it didn’t get stuck in my teeth like many chocolates tend to do. It chews up smoothly and goes down smoothly while having a sweet chocolate mint taste the entire time. Although it looks like one solid piece of chocolate, the Andes pieces are generally a sandwich of two thin pieces of mint-flavored chocolate with an even thinner piece of mint in between.

The Andes Candies Company began in 1921 as a manufacturer of simple chocolate mints and candies for consumers. Since then, the Andes pieces of chocolate that we are familiar with has become the leading after-dinner mint in the world. They are offered in many of the more exclusive and prestigious restaurants as well as family restaurants with more moderately-priced menus. Andes chocolate mints are a refreshing conclusion to any meal or just an everyday treat. In 2000, the company was purchased and is currently a subsidiary of the Tootsie Roll Industries, which distributes many popular candies across North America. These chocolates have come a long way since their beginning over 80 years ago. Other than the plain chocolate mint flavor that they began with, they now have a variety of choices to fit the taste buds of any consumer. Some of the regular flavors include Cherry Jubilee, Mint Parfait, and Toffee Crunch. The company also offers seasonal flavors for an exciting change of pace, including their Peppermint Crunch flavor that is offered during the winter season. Whatever your preference, the Andes chocolates are certain to make you coming back for more.
