I want gummy candy that is mint flavored. No, not spearmint drops/gum drops. Not mint jellybeans. I want that gummy-bear soft texture, but minty. Is this a thing? Where can I buy it?

In Australia (unsure about elsewhere) there are Spearmint Leaves which are soft mint-flavoured jellies. A different texture to gummy bears which I find very chewy, but probably the closest pre-made thing you are looking for. The mint flavour is mild, like mint ice cream.

I'm seeing peppermint gummy bears by Albanese here, though they're not listed on Albanese's website even in the seasonal section. Peppermint is not a flavor I've personally sought out but as a gummy bear appreciator I can vouch for Albanese as making particularly good gummy bears (very good texture) in general.

Thanks to hgws for the memory lane of spearmint leaves, I remember them as being more towards gumdrop texture But that may have changed over the ... ?decades?
