Let us know
(multiple choice)


For Me…..I love them!
They are the best when kept in the fridge and I will always choose the brown ones first (they seem more chocolaty to me ) I will eat the green ones of course, but I do prefer to give those to DH - LOL!

Never heard of them.
But melting mint sounds good to me.
I‘d probably like them.

Never heard of them. Regional maybe?

I looked them up and we have this

Frangos


and these

I have never heard of that brand, but a local chocolatier makes melt away mints and they are delicious. They have a green layer but the tops are chocolate color. (We also used to have Frangos mints when we had a Marshall Field’s department store. I loved those too.)

I feel confident to say that I think I WOULD like your brand, and I’d probably choose a chocolate-colored one first!

They're ok.

Never heard of them either. Mint is not a go to for me but my husband likes it. His favourite is peppermint patties.

Mint Meltaways good. Trinidads better.

Umm. No. Chicago gal here, choosing "other." Frango all the way, originally from Marshall Field.

Pixies are wonderful. They're pretty much tied with the Trinidads, in my book.

Have not had the Fannie May ones but have had Frangos, green.

For Fannie May, it's Pixies. Have purchased many boxes (2 lbs. boxes usually) of Pixies for Marie over the years, her favorite. Before the box is gone over the following weeks, I usually 'sample' a few along the way also.

I got Frangos from Frederick and Nelson in Seattle area.

The Frango brand, famous for its mints, started in Seattle, then owned and operated for several decades by the Marshall Field's department store chain in Chicago, where the chocolates also were produced

Long a signature brand of bygone Chicago department store Marshall Field's, the Frango mint was actually a West Coast import created nearly a century ago by Frederick and Nelson Co.,

Frango Gal here. And Trinidads are also my favorite of the Fannie May choices.

 

[disneychrista]

Never heard of them. But they look like something I’d like. Chocolate mint combo is a favorite.

 

[MIGrandma]

Never heard of them, but wouldn’t buy them if I saw them. Not a fan of chocolate and mint. Prefer chocolate and caramel

 

[Skywalker3]

Never heard of these. Look yummy!!

 

[maxaroni]

Never heard of them or any other brands people are mentioning. I do like mint/chocolate, though. .

I heard that a lot of people in Chicagoland aren't thrilled that Macy's took over Marshall Fields. About five years ago I was there and noticed Macy's at least kept a smallish MF sign on the side of the building. I bought a small box of the mints. Delicious.

If Macy's discontinued Frango Mints I'm sure there would have been a revolt.
