   I AM COMPLETLY ADDICTED TO THE PASTEL JUNIOR MINTS ! I got them at Dollar Tree, in Oregon and several locations had them, several didn’t. I CANNOT EAT CHOCOLATE so it was perfect, because I LOVE MINT. I agree they could have had MORE PASTEL COLORS, but overall, LOVE ‘EM ! Does anyone know of WHERE to find MORE ? They are all gone here.

   My girlfriends and Just loved the pastel junior mints.  I wanted to buy more for a wedding show and can not find them.  they are sold out where i first brought them.  You should make them in other colors too.  I would of brought them in pink and cream for the shower..wouldn’t they be perfect for weddings,showers and other parties.  They taste good and makes your breath smell minty;

   Just want to tell you that you should make these Junior Mints pastels 12 months out of the year. They are light, and just delicious. Please tell me that you will make them available 12 months out of the year. They are absolutely a must have. Thank you.

   I agree with Debbie.  Come on u guys at Tootsie Co. We want more.  I had the Junior Mint Pastels at a party a few months ago.  When I went to find them, not one store was carrying them.  They should be sold 12 months out of the year!  They’re great!

    I was a little grossed out when titanium dioxide was one of the main ingredients, but maybe that is normal. I wasn’t sure.

    Evidentally, Titanium dioxide is the most widely used white pigment because of its brightness and very high refractive index (n = 2.7), in which it is surpassed only by a few other materials.It is used to ‘whiten’ foods, medicines (i.e. pills and tablets) as well as most toothpastes. Opacity is improved by optimal sizing of the titanium dioxide particles. (from the Wikipedia page)

    Great observation….I never noticed that it had Titanium dioxide in it. I have 20+ boxes in my freezer !

    I’m currently eating some of these right now and they’re good to me! I don’t think they taste much different from the original chocolate-coated ones TBH. Actually, it kind of tastes like white chocolate. I suppose some more colors would have been nice, but yellow and blue has always been a favorite color combination of mine, so that doesn’t bother me either.

    Can’t find the Easter Junior Mint Pastels anywhere. I am really pissed off. You need to supply Smiths, and Safeway with these., they would sell like crazy.

    Do you have a “Dollar Tree” or “Fred Meyers” near you ? That is where I have found them.

    I just discovered these this year and I am ADDICTED! I love the creamy candy coating with the minty filling - sooooo yummy! I’m sad they don’t make these year round.

    I love these Junior Mint Pastels.  I am allergic to chocolate and these I can eat.  Where can I buy more of these mints?  Dollar Tree does not keep very many of them.

    John,
      I LOVE THESE and cannot have chocolate either. I could NOT find them at Dollar Tree this year (thankfully my husband bought me about 40 boxes last year & we froze them- WORKS GREAT !) I don’t know if you have a Fred Meyer near you. I live in NW United States & we have them at Fred Meyer. I wish you luck !

    Not sure if they’ve reformulated since the original post in 2007, but the coating is extremely fragile.  The pastel (Easter edition) Junior mints do not travel well…very messy breakage!!

    My favorite candy as I don’t eat chocolate and love creamy mint. The first year dollar tree carried them in my area I think I bought all of them from every store and got everyone hooked and 2 years later they quit carrying them. What a disappointment. Oh well less calories.
