Peppermint treats capture the sweetness of the season
From that iconic peppermint mocha to a twist on a favorite dessert, peppermint flavors infuse their way into restaurants menus. Even though Wendy’s Frosty swapped peppermint for Salted Caramel, many other favorites are back for a limited time. Best to get your seasonal sweet fix before Santa arrives.
Even though candy canes might have more than peppermint flavors, that bright, refreshing mint forward flavor works well with a variety of desserts. Ice cream, cinnamon rolls, and more get that makeover. From the sunny Florida Beaches to the winter wonderland in Wisconsin, that seasonal flavor brings all the winter feels.
Chick-fil-A
Before there was a Frosted Lemonade or even a banana inspired dessert, the seasonal Peppermint Chip Milkshake brought smiles all around the table. Back for a limited time, that combination of Icedream, peppermint pieces and a cherry on top is perfect both on its own and paired with that classic Chick-fil-A sandwich.
Additionally, Chick-fil-A’s coffee is getting a peppermint mocha. Available as a Peppermint Iced Coffee and Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee, the coffee beverage embraces that fun twist. Plus, that Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee bridges the gap between coffee and dessert. It is delicious anytime of day.
Cinnabon
While that warm, spicy and sweet cinnamon bun is always tempting, the Peppermint Bon cannot be passed up. Part of the Holiday Treats Collection, the Peppermint Topped Bon transforms the classic baked good with bright, refreshing flavor. It does to show that peppermint seems to go with just about everything.
To continue the peppermint fun, the Peppermint Chillatta is that sweet sip. The classic Chillatta is infused with peppermint flavor and topped with crushed candy pieces. It will definitely put a little pep in your step.
Carvel
While Fudgy the Whale is always the star of any celebration, peppermint flavors have taken over the ice cream store. This year’s offerings are about bringing together two seasonal favorites.
The Peppermint Hot Chocolate flavor brings all the feels. Without having to wait for the hot temperature to cool, this sweetness has the perfect balance of rich, satisfying chocolate with a burst of minty refreshment. Even if there are no marbits in the mix, it is quite satisfying. The Peppermint Hot Chocolate is available as soft serve, shake, dasher, and Flying Saucer.
Additionally, the Peppermint Hot Chocolate Scooped is even more indulgent. With crushed peppermint, bittersweet fudge, and chocolate drops, it is chocolate forward but doesn’t lose the peppermint flavor. Santa might want this treat instead of some cookies this year.
Dairy Queen
The red spoon is ready to dip into a new seasonal Blizzard. The Peppermint Hot Cocoa Blizzard Treat features peppermint candy cane pieces, choco chunks and cocoa fudge. With a whipped topping and candy cane sprinkles, the flavor is a spoonful of wintery delight.
Also, Dairy Queen brought back the fan favorite DQ Frozen Hot Chocolate. The treat includes: cocoa fudge, the DQ world-famous vanilla soft serve and signature Misty Slush. It captures that hot cocoa goodness.
Dove
Why should the peppermint refreshment be limited to the table. Dove’s seasonal body wash, scrubs, and more are back on the shelf. From Peppermint Bark scrubs to Hot Cocoa Swirl, it is time to bring all the holiday scents to the shower.
These are just a few of the many peppermint inspired treats available this year. Ready to get your sweet seasonal fix?
