Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for our Wrapped Peppermint Puffs. We appreciate your feedback and you bring up an interesting point. The consistency of certain candies, such as peppermint puffs, marshmallow peanuts, and satellite wafers, to name a few, can vary depending on factors like humidity and temperature. In warmer or more humid conditions, they may be softer, and in colder weather, they may be harder. This is not a sign of defect, but rather how the ingredients, mainly pressed sugar, react to outside conditions. We apologize if this was not what you were expecting. We hope you still enjoyed the delicious peppermint flavor.
