Andes Chocolate Mints
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andes Chocolate Mints, produced by Tootsie Roll Industries, are small rectangular candies consisting of one mint-green layer sandwiched in between two chocolate-brown layers. The candies are usually wrapped in green foil imprinted with the company's logo, the word Andes written amidst a drawing of snow-capped peaks. They are made in Delavan, Wisconsin.
In the US, Andes mints are a popular after dinner mint.

- ^ a b In the decade following Andy's death (1959), the company was moved from Chicago to Delavan, Wisconsin. At the time, it was decided to close the retail side of the company and make only the Creme de Menthes for wholesale. The company was sold to Jakob Suchard in the 1980s before being acquired by its current owner. "Tootsie Roll Industries - Andes". Tootsie Roll Industries. 2006. http://www.tootsie.com/andes_land.php.
