Unpretentious Crushed Peppermint Candy Pieces, 2 cups (13.12 oz) — ready-to-use sweet mint crunch for cookies & brownies

Unpretentious Crushed Peppermint Candy Pieces are ready-to-use, sweetly minty candy bits (2 cups / 13.12 oz) made to stir into cookies, brownies, toppings and hot chocolate for a crisp peppermint crunch.

This jar of crushed peppermint from Unpretentious delivers bright mint flavor and crunch in an easy-to-sprinkle form — no chopping, no melting, no fuss. Shelf-stable and packaged in the USA, the pieces blend into baked goods, desserts, and beverages to add festive flavor and textured contrast. Because they’re already crushed, they save prep time while giving home bakers and seasonal cooks consistent results every batch.

How do these peppermint pieces change cookies and brownies?

Adding the crushed candy gives baked goods an immediate burst of mint and a crunchy finish that contrasts with soft dough or fudgy centers. Sprinkle on top before baking for a glossy, crackled topping or fold them into batter for pockets of peppermint throughout.

• Use 2–4 tablespoons per batch for a subtle mint presence
• Fold in at the end to preserve crunch
• Press gently on cookie tops for a decorative finish

Can I mix these peppermint pieces into drinks like hot chocolate?

Yes—these pieces work well as a garnish or stirred into warm beverages. They partially melt to sweeten and flavor the drink while leaving small crunchy bits for texture and visual appeal.

• Stir 1–2 tablespoons into steaming hot chocolate for immediate flavor
• Use as a rim garnish on mugs or glasses for presentation
• Top whipped cream with a sprinkle for extra crunch

Will the candy keep its crunch when baked or stored?

The crushed pieces are designed to retain some crunch when baked lightly or sprinkled fresh; folding them into high-moisture batters will soften them over time. In sealed packaging and stored in a cool, dry place, they maintain flavor and texture for seasonal use.

• Store unopened in a cool, dry pantry away from heat
• Press on top of cookies to stay crunchy after baking
• Expect some softening if mixed into very moist fillings

How much do I get and where is it made?

The product contains approximately 2 cups (13.12 ounces) of crushed peppermint candy, an amount that covers multiple batches of cookies, brownies or several servings of beverages. The packaging notes that the candy is produced and packaged in the USA.

• Net weight: 13.12 oz (about 2 cups)
• Suitable for multiple recipes and seasonal treats
