Sellability
Historically, Peppermint Candy didn't sell very well, even at minimum price. This however since changed after Version 1.8.0., when game balancing became more prominent. Nowadays, Peppermint Candy is quite sellable, even at maximum price.

Skyship requirements
Peppermint Candy is rather difficult to make, considering the fact that the moderately difficult-to-craft Hot Pepper (but ironically is quite easy to buy in the Market) need to be crafted and the fact the crafting times of Peppermint Candy combined is a very long time to take from scratch. So the Skyship may ask for 1-2 Peppermint Candies per order, summing up to 3 or 6 per shipment.

Strategy
Peppermint Candy makes a good alternative to selling straight-on Hot Peppers, as Peppermint Candy will sell much better than Hot Peppers themselves. To mass-produce Peppermint Candies, craft a mass-production of Sugars (see Sugar for more info on crafting mass-production of Sugar. Wait every 20-30 minutes, depending on the Masher level, for another batch of two Sugars. Then use your Hot Pepper(s) for those Sugars to be consumed.
