As if the violet obsession hadn't gone far enough, now I am eating them. These little violet mints are delicious and isn't the packaging lovely? You can buy the violet candies at World Market and online at Amazon.

They just put a mini World Market inside the Bed, Bath and Beyond near me. So guess who’s going to BB & B this weekend to scout some pretty candies? Hope all is well with you, come visit SoCal!
I saw some violet cookies at a store yesterday and instantly thought of you! If you lived here I would have brought you some!!
Really interesting..These little violet mints are delicious and isn’t the packaging lovely..I like this type of blog..Hope you will continue to post such type of post in future also…
My violet obsession is long standing – have you tried Violet tea? It’s *divine*.
my obsession is lavender… tea, chocolates, ice cream, honey…
i had some delicious violet gelato in paris last summer. it was divine.
Always loved violets growing up. Rediscovered them a few years ago. always loved the distinctive packaging. Have tried the lemon, but the violets are king!
My violet obsession includes these candies and also a wonderful perfume called Violetta di Parma.
new to me. never seen these before, nor did i know you could eat violets. call me crazy.
Oh, I’m so OCD over violets too — violet essential oil in my lotion and on my lamp rings, violet soap, violet perfume (from Anthropologie), violet liqueur, and now I can get violet candy – thank you!
This packaging is so lovely and refreshing!
I love violet so much- I’ve had the biggest obsession since childhood! Thanks for letting us know that amazon stocks these! x
Yum – I love those violet mints too. If you’re ever in Madrid, you’ll have to check out La Violeta. They’ve been making hard violet candies (shaped like violets) for almost 100 years and have really pretty packaging. They’re great gifts to bring back (and delicious too).
