The Andes baking chips resemble a tiny, adorable version of the classic rectangular Andes mints. Like the iconic after-dinner treat, the baking chips have a smooth layer of green mint between two layers of rich chocolate. It’s irresistible! Seriously, there’s a reason that mint chocolate is one of America’s favorite flavors. The mint is refreshing, while chocolate is relaxing, warming and comforting. Together, the two flavors create a sense of bliss. It’s safe to say we’ll be ordering this shipment of 12 bags from Amazon.
