About Us
In 1932, the Van Melle brothers took a train to Poland. This trip sparked the beginning of a Fresh New World. They had a vision of a peppermint flavored caramel candy to go by the name of Mentos. Mentos were manufactured in The Netherlands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these individually wrapped rolls safe and hygienic to toss inside a kids' lunchbox every day?
Yes. Every Mentos Chewy Mint Fruit roll is sealed in its own wrapper, so the candy stays clean and untouched from pantry to lunch tray. Parents can pack one roll per child per day without worrying about sticky fingers or shared-contact germs in backpacks.
My child has a gluten sensitivity. Is the formula truly gluten-free and safe for school?
Mentos Chewy Mints are certified gluten-free, so they meet the standards of most school safe-snack lists and are suitable for kids with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Always check the current package label for the most up-to-date allergen information.
Will the rolls stay fresh inside a lunchbox that sits in a warm car or locker until lunchtime?
The hydrogenated coconut oil and manioc starch base is designed to hold its chewy texture at typical lunchbox temperatures. For very hot days, slip the roll inside an insulated lunch bag or a small cooler pouch to keep the texture at its best.
Can I use these rolls for school party favors and classroom celebrations without cross-contamination worries?
Because each roll is wrapped individually, you can hand them out one per student and avoid the allergen exposure that comes from open candy bowls. Pair them with a small note about the gluten-free formula for parents who need that reassurance.
Is the roll small enough for little hands to unwrap without frustration?
The 1.32 oz single-serving roll is shaped to fit comfortably in a child's grip, and the wrapper has a clean tear tab that most kids can manage on their own. Younger children may still need a quick adult assist the first time.
What age is this candy appropriate for, and is it a choking hazard for toddlers?
Mentos Chewy Mints are recommended for children ages 4 and up. The chewy texture and small size mean they are not suitable for toddlers or very young children who are still learning to chew solid foods safely.
Do the fruit juice concentrates add too much sugar for a daily kid snack?
Each roll is a single 1.32 oz portion, which makes it easy to control how much your child eats in a day. Many parents treat one roll as an after-lunch or after-school treat rather than an all-day snack, which keeps added sugar intake predictable.
How does this chewy mint compare to gummy candy for packing in school lunches?
Unlike gummies, chewy mints do not stick to teeth or dental work, and they leave a fresher breath finish that kids tend to enjoy after lunch. They are also individually wrapped, while many gummies come in resealable bags that can spill inside a lunchbox.
Can I use these as a healthier swap for the hard candy I usually pack?
Many parents prefer chewy mints over hard candy because there is no choking risk from a hard round piece, and the flavor lasts longer in the mouth. The portion-controlled roll format also makes it easier to limit how much your child eats in one sitting.
Is the peg bag safe to hang in a pantry or mudroom where my kids can reach it?
The peg bag is designed to hang from a hook, which actually keeps it off the counter and out of reach of small children when hung high. The bag itself is resealable, so even if little hands find it, you can close it back up to maintain freshness.
What if my child does not like the fruit flavor—are there other varieties I can bundle together?
Mentos Chewy Mints come in a range of companion flavors including Cinnamon, Rainbow, and Strawberry, so you can mix and match a multi-pack that keeps the whole family happy. Buying a few different bags together also brings the per-piece value down compared to single rolls.
I am nervous about artificial ingredients. Are the fruit flavors made with real juice?
The fruit flavor in this variety is made with juices from apple, strawberry, orange, and lime concentrate, so you get recognizable fruit notes rather than purely synthetic flavoring. It is a simple ingredient list that many parents find easier to feel good about.
How should I store an opened peg bag to keep the rolls fresh?
The peg bag is designed to be resealable, so simply fold the top and tuck the peg hole over a hook or clip to keep air out. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and the rolls will stay fresh for several months.
Can I transfer the rolls into a candy jar or countertop dispenser?
Yes, the individually wrapped rolls are perfect for pouring into a glass jar, candy dish, or countertop dispenser. The wrappers keep the candy clean even in an open-air jar, so you get the visual appeal of a candy bowl with the hygiene of a sealed piece.
How long is the shelf life of an unopened bag?
Mentos Chewy Mints typically have a best-by date printed on the bag that is well over a year from the production date, making them a great pantry staple. Always check the printed date on the specific bag you purchase for the most accurate timeframe.
Does this product work with a specific office candy dispenser or vending machine?
The individually wrapped 1.32 oz rolls are sized to fit most standard countertop candy dispensers, vending machine coils, and small retail bins. Check the dimensions of your specific dispenser to confirm the roll fits before ordering in bulk.
Are these rolls compatible with a low-sugar or keto diet?
Mentos Chewy Mints are made with sugar and are not formulated for keto or low-sugar diets. If you are following a low-sugar lifestyle, look for sugar-free candy alternatives, as these rolls are designed for traditional sweet-candy enjoyment.
What is included in the bag when I open it?
Each bag contains 40 individually wrapped chewy mint rolls in the fruit flavor, ready to eat or share. The outer peg bag is resealable for ongoing freshness, and no additional accessories or refills are required.
Is it safe to leave this candy in a hot mailbox or delivery truck during shipping?
Chewy mints are more heat-tolerant than chocolate, but extreme summer heat can still affect texture. Most major retailers ship candy in temperature-managed or quick-transit conditions, and the rolls are wrapped individually, so brief heat exposure is unlikely to ruin the product.
What if my rolls arrive melted or stuck together?
Because the rolls are individually wrapped, even if the candy softens, the wrappers usually prevent pieces from fusing. Refrigerate the bag for an hour after delivery to firm up the texture, and the chewy mints should return to their original consistency.
What is the difference between chewy mints and hard-pressed mints?
Hard-pressed mints are compressed into a small disc and dissolve quickly in your mouth, while chewy mints have a softer, taffy-like texture that lasts several minutes. Chewy mints are often preferred for their longer-lasting flavor and gentler bite, while hard mints are favored for their quick breath-freshening effect.
