About BUTTERMINTS
Buttermints are a small pastel-colored mint candy sold under Target's Favorite Day private-label brand, which specializes in dessert and sweets products. This USDA entry represents a formulation variant of the Favorite Day Buttermints line and is categorized within candy. Buttermints are a classic American confection with a smooth, creamy texture and mild peppermint flavor.
The sweetener base consists of liquid sugar (sugar dissolved in water), invert syrup, and corn syrup as the three primary ingredients by weight. Palm oil provides body and the characteristic melt-in-the-mouth smoothness. Sorbitol is included as a sugar alcohol humectant. The flavor comes from butter (listed as pasteurized cream with natural flavorings) and peppermint oil. Soy lecithin is the emulsifier. Preservatives are TBHQ (an antioxidant) and sodium benzoate. Unlike the companion Favorite Day buttermint entry, this formulation does not list artificial colorants (Yellow 5, Blue 1 Lake, Titanium Dioxide, Red 3, Yellow 6 Lake), suggesting this may be a plain or differently colored variant. Allergens include dairy (butter/cream) and soy.
Nutritionally, this product provides 364 calories per 100 grams, with 0 grams protein, 90.91 grams carbohydrates, and 0 grams fat — the carbohydrate value here better reflects the high-sugar composition than the companion entry. Dietary fiber is zero. This is a high-sugar, high-calorie confection with minimal nutritional density outside of energy. Not suitable for vegan or dairy-free diets. Serving size per the USDA entry is 11 grams.
