Peppermint Patty Day

Near the eve of Valentine’s Day, this February 11 food holiday celebrates a minty chocolate confection frequently gifted at holidays. Introduced in the United States by York Cone Company of Pennsylvania in 1940, the first commercially-made mint patty or cake was probably made a century earlier on the Isle of Man, located between England and Ireland.
