YUM! My favorite candies are York Pepperming Patties, so my friend bought me a box from Sam's Club containing something like, oh I donno...50,000,000. I didn't want to eat them ALL really fast all by myself (and I very easily could), so I put them into cookies so that my family could enjoy them with me. They were fabulous...chewy and soft and minty. Thanks so much, Jenshie!!!
