York Mints Get Celebrity Makeover

Celebrity designers Nicky Hilton and Nicole Miller have created York Mints designer tins to benefit the Young Survival Coalition, a non-profit network of breast cancer survivors and supporters.

The designer tins can be purchased at www.youngsurivival.org and at Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey, Pa., Hershey's Times Square and Hershey's Chicago. The intricately designed tins house the latest mint offering from York, a soft mint center surrounded by a layer of dark chocolate and hard-candy shell.

The tins feature the York Mints logo and the designer’s signature. They retail for $25, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Young Survival Coalition.

York Mints debuted in December 2006, with a retail price of $1.99. The mints come in silver tins embossed with the York logo.
