Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the peppermint flavor subtle or strong?
We balance the natural peppermint flavor so it offers a crisp, refreshing cool note that complements the rich dark chocolate and dulce de leche without overpowering the caramel notes.
What is the base cookie made of in this peppermint version?
This specific variation features a crunchy chocolate shortbread cookie base instead of our classic butter cookie base, giving it a double-chocolate profile from top to bottom.
Are these peppermint cones a seasonal or year-round offering?
While particularly popular during the winter holidays and festive celebrations, this 8-piece box is available as a specialty mint item for gifting throughout the year.
How many pieces come in a box, and how should they be stored?
Each gift box contains 8 handcrafted peppermint cones. To maintain peak crispness and prevent the chocolate shell from melting, store them in a cool, dry place or refrigerate during warmer months.
