Your favorite holiday best-seller just got bigger—and even better
Boston, GA (June 2025) - Dillon Candy Company, a century-old maker of handmade Southern confections, is pleased to announce the launch of its new 4 oz Peppermint Divinity, an expanded offering of a seasonal favorite. This larger size joins the popular 1.7 oz Peppermint Divinity and will be available to ship starting October 2025, just in time for the holiday season.
Known for its light, airy texture and refreshing peppermint flavor, Dillon’s Peppermint Divinity has become a signature seasonal treat among retailers and candy lovers alike. The new 4 oz bar was developed to meet growing customer demand for a larger size—ideal for gifting, merchandising, and satisfying a more generous sweet tooth.
“This will be a great addition to our peppermint divinity line,” says Tom Cook, owner of Dillon Candy Company. “We’ve had lots of requests for a larger version, and we’re pleased to offer it in time for our retailers to prep for holiday sales.”
This is a limited seasonal product, available only during the holiday season. Retailers are encouraged to place early orders to secure inventory for the busy fourth quarter. The 4 oz Peppermint Divinity will be presented at the Atlanta AmericasMart Show in July and included in Dillon Candy’s updated wholesale brochure and show specials. It will be sold in both display-ready boxes and bulk cases for maximum flexibility at retail.
