At Piedmont Candy Company, our purpose is simple: to spark sweet, nostalgic smiles (eyes closed). Since 1890, we’ve been crafting our signature Red Bird peppermint puffs, the same soft mints you remember from your grandmother’s purse or shared after Sunday lunch. Made in North Carolina with pure cane sugar and just a few simple ingredients, Red Bird is a candy classic that still brings joy, one puff at a time.
