What company makes peppermint candy balls that melt in your mouth...?

When I was a child my grandmother would buy cans of peppermint candy that would literally melt in your mouth upon contact. I cannot recall the name of the company, but the candy was delicious and I'd love to relive my childhood. They came in the shape of balls and the can container MAY have had hot air balloons on it. If you don't know the name of that particular candy can anyone recommend something similar? I am not looking for Red Bird Brand Peppermint Puffs...the candy I am looking for melts even quicker than the puffs made by Red Bird.

Thanks...I'm feeling a little nostalgic :)

The outer part of the shell is crispy but the inside instantly dissolves in your mouth. I guess I'll have to check Bob's out :)

Bob's Soft Peppermints! I love those things! They have them at my local Wal-Mart in the winter, maybe yours has them, too. :)

Maybe they were 'King Leo' Soft Peppermint Candy.The label says since 1901. My husband bought some for me about a month ago & I can't stop eating them, they are so good! I hope this helps!
