'Polkagris' known affectionately as 'Swede Mint', is a Peterson's Candies staple. Like the the giant candy canes that adorn our front lawn, this timeless recipe is a red and white masterpiece. Cooked and twisted in our candy kitchen, this airy peppermint treat will melt in your mouth. P.S. - you don't have to be Swedish to love this candy. (Swede Mint is a traditional peppermint that real Swedes in Sweden AND Jamestown, NY. love.)
