2 min read- Lammes Candies Sherbet Mints are a classic Easter candy, but they’ve historically been hard to find outside Texas.
- Now, Cracker Barrel is stocking them in its general stores for the season.
- Fans online are already reminiscing—and running to go buy a box.
The 1960s are calling, and they want their prices back! Jokes aside, a popular old-school candy is back in the spotlight again for Easter, and it’s been popping up all over social media. If you’ve never heard of Lammes Candies Sherbet Mints, you’re probably not alone. The brand dates back to 1885 and was founded in Austin, Texas, where it has remained something of a local delicacy. Because it’s such a regional confectionery, anyone not located in Texas has been historically SOL (and probably not in the know)—unless you live near a Cracker Barrel.
Famous for its down-home meals and general store, Cracker Barrel has restocked its seasonal supply of Lammes Candies Sherbet Mints for shoppers eager to get their hands on them. According to fans, the pastel-colored candies have a minty, chocolatey flavor and a unique, snappy texture.
Debbie, a Cracker Barrel employee, took to social media to share news of the restock, and customers are already driving to their nearest location to stock up. “I am headed there tomorrow!!!!” one person commented.
“Everybody had these fancy mints on their table back at Easter in the day,” another person shared.
“Stop! I haven’t ever visited Cracker Barrel but may just to buy these,” one soon-to-be customer wrote.
“Those mints are the yummiest!” another fan exclaimed. “I could eat the whole box!” practically shouted someone else.
And for plenty of people, the candy seems to be hitting that sweet spot of nostalgia, too. “I remember these in the 1960s and can’t wait to try these for a taste of childhood!” one fan wrote.
I may be new to the Lammes Candies fandom, but I definitely want to get my hands on a box or two.
