Both are hard, minty, and sold in the same aisle — which is probably why mint imperials and mint humbugs get mixed up so often. The actual difference comes down to what's inside.
Mint imperials: mint all the way through
Our Mint Imperials Jar is solid peppermint-flavoured sugar sweet from edge to centre — no filling, no layers, just one consistent bite from start to finish.
Mint humbugs: mint shell, toffee centre
A Mint Humbug, by contrast, has a hard mint-flavoured boiled-sweet shell wrapped around a soft toffee centre — giving it a texture change partway through that imperials don't have.
