Peppermint Pig™
Holiday Good Luck & Health Begins With A Peppermint Pig
The first Peppermint Pig was made over a century ago to symbolize the Victorian belief in the pig as a good luck charm. Your family can continue this tradition with our genuine Peppermint Pig, which comes with its own velvet pouch and hammer.

After a special holiday meal, bring out the pig, crack it with the hammer, and share the pieces to assure health, happiness, and prosperity. USA.

          We used the peppermint pig at a family gathering and followed the traditions enclosed with it. It was lots of fun, the children thought it was fun to watch the adults hammer the pig and the quality of the peppermint candy is wonderful.

              When my husband and I were married in 1992, we began the tradition of breaking the Peppermint Pig at Thanksgiving dinner - his favorite holiday. Everyone always looked forward to passing the pig and little hammer around the table, taking a piece, and making our wishes for the New Year. My husband passed away three years ago, but we have continued the tradition of the Peppermint Pig in his honor.... We love it!

                  I bought two of these pigs for gifts, decided to try one of them, and discovered that first, it was hard to break apart, and when broken tended to shatter in sharp pieces. I decided not to give them as gifts.

                    Comments about Peppermint Pig™:

                    It is no secret that the times have been tough and money very tight. Bringing the little piggy out of the red velvet pouch brought smiles to everyones face. With each tap of the hammer a little piece of delicious candy fell and a wish for a better year went out. Each wish was different from the littlest to the oldest. 2010 has already been a better year - must have worked!

                    We send this to our family every year for their holiday meal. After the pig is cracked, there's plenty of pieces to go around for everyone. What a wonderful way to start the new year - with a gift of Good Luck!

                    I gave the pigs out as family Christmas gifts. Each family was happy to smash the pig together for good luck the following year. I was told it was very tasty, too!!

                      My kids (now age 9) have for the past four or five years enjoyed breaking these on New Year's Eve (or New Year's Day, if we forget to do it the night before).
