We taste test some peppermint treats for the holidays
Updike's Newtowne If you want something you could drink every day this holiday season, warm yourself up with Updike’s Mint Mocha, complete with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle and a fresh mint leaf from Wickford Gardens. It was a unanimous delight: with its ability to retain its separate flavors of coffee, chocolate and mint, yet not be overly sweet, this was clearly a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. 7726 Post Road, North Kingstown. 295-5300

Sweenors Chocolates The mint lovers among us “want our toes to curl” when we eat mint, and that is exactly what happened upon biting into this peppermint patty. This was the ultimate in dark chocolate covered mints. From the thickness of the shell to the texture of the filling, this mint took the cake. 21 Charles Street, Wakefield. 783- 4433

Jennifer's Chocolates Good things come in small packages, and this Peppermint Leaf was no exception. While we all admired the obvious quality and thickness of the dark chocolate shell, the crazed mint lovers among us could have used a stronger mint flavor, while those of us who prefer a subtler mint enjoyed this the most. 160 Old Tower Road, Wakefield. 783-8423

Sweet Twist We loved this chocolate-covered Oreo dotted with candy cane pieces. Although the cookies could have packed a mintier punch, the treats are a feast for the eyes and the senses. 5707 Post Road, East Greenwich. 885-7579
