Kendal Mint Cake

My old housemate and work colleague H brought me back a northern treat from a recent trip, a Romney’s Kendal Mint Cake. I didn’t quite know what to expect when she said it was a treat that people take on walks, but I guess this practice came from a very successful advertising campaign where it was marketed as an energy bar. It reminded me a lot of the inside of a York Peppermint patty, but with a better consistency and stronger peppermint flavor. I am attaching a link to explain the history of the bar.
