About BUTTERMINTS
Buttermints are a small pastel-colored mint candy sold under Target's Favorite Day private-label brand, which is Target's dessert and indulgent sweets store brand. Categorized within candy, buttermints are a classic American confection characterized by a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a mild peppermint butter flavor, traditionally served at weddings and formal events.
The first ingredients are liquid sugar (a solution of sugar and water), invert sugar syrup, and corn syrup — the three leading sweeteners that together form the predominant candy base. Palm oil provides the fat and smooth texture. Sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, contributes additional mild sweetness and a cooling mouthfeel. Butter with natural flavor (from pasteurized cream) provides the characteristic buttery note. Salt and peppermint oil deliver the flavor profile. Soy lecithin serves as an emulsifier. A notable set of synthetic colorants is present: Yellow 5, Blue 1 Lake, Titanium Dioxide (a whitening pigment), Red 3, and Yellow 6 Lake, which together produce the pastel color assortment typical of buttermint assortments. Preservatives include sodium benzoate and TBHQ (tertiary butylhydroquinone), an antioxidant. Allergens include dairy (butter) and soy.
