As a teacher, I’m always looking for small ways to encourage and support my students—especially on test days. Red Bird Soft Peppermint Candy has become a tradition in my classroom. I’ve been ordering it from Amazon for a while now, and it never disappoints.The mints are soft, melt-in-your-mouth, and have a smooth peppermint flavor that’s just strong enough to be refreshing without being overpowering. They’re individually wrapped, which makes them super easy (and hygienic) to pass out, and the packaging keeps them fresh for a long time.I love giving these out before a big test or quiz—my students say it helps them focus, calms their nerves, and just gives them a little boost of confidence. Plus, they see it as a sign that I’m rooting for them, which matters more than you’d think.
