The Machine That Refused to Quit Is Making the Best Peppermint Creams We've Ever Had In December 2025, our depositor died. That machine had one job: heat the peppermint cream to liquid, drop flat discs onto the belt, move on. Then, one day, it didn't. So Josh went to the backup. The backup happens to be a Friend machine that hasn't been manufactured since 1939. It works differently. Instead of heating the cream to liquid, it takes the cream after the cream beater has worked it for 30 minutes, after three large paddles have aligned every sugar crystal until the texture is completely smooth, when it's firm and cool and ready. Not mixing. Aligning. A wire slices each piece to exactly the right height as it presses through. The result is a dome instead of a disc. Same recipe. Same peppermint cream center. Same dark chocolate blend from the enrober. Same 7 to 10 days of resting while the centers soften back to that melt-in-your-mouth texture every loyal customer knows. Just a different shape from a machine that's been doing this longer than most of us have been alive. The old machine survived. The candy got better. We're calling them Peppermint Creams now. You'll understand why the moment you bite through that dark chocolate shell and a wave of cool, strong peppermint hits, smooth all the way through. You get 12 pieces in a 5 oz box. They go quickly around here. Why You'll Love It That Snap, Then That Melt - Dark chocolate coats every piece. It holds up just long enough to let you know it means business. Then it gives way to cool, smooth peppermint cream underneath. Smooth, Not Grainy - The cream center spends a full 30 minutes in the cream beater. Three paddles align the sugar crystals until the texture is completely smooth. Just clean, refreshing mint that melts. Strong Mint, Perfectly Balanced - Customers call it "strong, refreshing" and "a perfect balance." Real peppermint oil gives each piece a cool, bright mint presence with rich dark chocolate to match. Handcrafted Start to Finish - Every step is hands-on: mixing the cream, running it through a press that predates World War II, coating it on the enrober, letting it rest until the centers reach the right texture. Find them at our shop in Dennis Port on Cape Cod, or order online and we'll get them to you. Twelve pieces. One box. Not sharing? Completely reasonable.
