Cracker Barrel Is the Only Place You Can Buy These Nostalgic Handmade Easter Mints
Americans are ready to spend big on sweets this Easter.
According to an annual survey conducted by the National Retail Federation, 92% of consumers are planning on buying sweets this Easter, with a total of $3.5 billion expected to be spent on candy.
While many shoppers will head to grocery stores, department stores like Target and Walmart or other retailers like Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid, there’s one destination that has captured the internet’s attention: Cracker Barrel’s Old Country Store.
You might not find the same type of discounts for bulk items at Cracker Barrel, but you will find one nostalgic candy that you won’t find anywhere else — Sherbet Mints by Lammes Candies.
A Nostalgic Candy With Deep Roots
Lammes Candies was founded in 1878 and opened its doors in 1885.
The Sherbet Mints are pastel, handmade mint wafers with a light, creamy, “melt-in-your-mouth” texture. They are hand-poured in Austin, Texas, in small batches — no two are alike.
Each pack contains two boxes with approximately 50 wafers each, priced at $39.98.
What makes these mints stand out goes beyond their artisan quality. They have a nostalgic flavor profile that many people associate with strong childhood memories.
And Cracker Barrel is the only national retailer that carries Lammes Candies Sherbet Mints.
The chain has stocked them as a seasonal item since 2007, typically around Easter and Christmas. They are available in stores nationwide for a limited time while supplies last.
A Cracker Barrel Employee Goes Viral
The mints recently found a massive new audience thanks to a Cracker Barrel TikTok video featuring retail associate Debbie from the Mt. Juliet, Tennessee location.
The video has racked up more than 1.6 million views since March 19.
In the video, Debbie describes the mints, tries one and recommends them as a great Easter hosting item that “look beautiful on a plate.”
“Cracker Barrel is known for nostalgic candy,” Debbie said in the video. “Finding these sherbet mints is a true treasure.”
Debbie is a four-star employee, according to the stars seen on her apron — a detail fans quickly noticed.
The comment section turned into something of a fan club. Some viewers requested more reviews from Debbie in the future. Others joked that she should be the first five-star employee in Cracker Barrel history.
“Anything debbie told me to buy i would,” one TikTok user commented.
“Debbie deserves a commission on all Lammes sherbert mints sold throughout Cracker Barrel for this ad,” another commenter added.
