Our story
A century-old mint found its way home.
Three states, four generations of candy makers and one recipe that never needed changing.
The owners
Clayton and Drew.
“We’re neighbors, friends, and proud owners of Angel Mint — a family candy brand with a sweet legacy that spans generations.”
The Angel Mint story began decades ago in New Jersey, where Drew’s father first perfected his signature peppermint candy. His goal was simple: a smooth, creamy mint made with quality ingredients and care — the kind of candy people would remember.
When the time came for Drew’s father to retire, Clayton and Drew saw a chance to keep the tradition alive and bring the business closer to home. They purchased the brand together and relocated production to North Carolina.
