help Nestlé Peppermint Crisp FAQ
What is inside a Nestle Peppermint Crisp bar?
It has a milk-chocolate coating around thin, brittle peppermint-flavored cracknel pieces. The filling breaks and crumbles when bitten, rather than eating like a soft peppermint cream.
Where did Nestle Peppermint Crisp originate?
The bar was developed in South Africa by Wilson-Rowntree during the 1960s and is now associated with Nestle South Africa. It is also widely recognized in Australia and New Zealand.
Why do Peppermint Crisp bar sizes differ by country?
South African listings include a 49 gram bar and a 150 gram slab, while the Australian version is commonly listed at 35 grams. Packaging and sizes can therefore vary even when the Nestle Peppermint Crisp name is the same.
How is Peppermint Crisp used in desserts?
Crushed Peppermint Crisp is used as a topping or mix-in for desserts such as Peppermint Crisp tart and pavlova. The brittle mint pieces add both crunch and a strong peppermint flavor.
