The chain is offering peppermint whoopie bites with chocolate cake and peppermint blast sprinkles at $1.99 for a five-pack, intended for holiday parties.

It is also offering peppermint mocha cappuccino, available in a signature holiday mug, and a red velvet whoopie pie with cream cheese icing, for 99 cents apiece.

For breakfast, the c-stores are offering a hot kolache with maple-flavored premium pork breakfast sausage, and for an afternoon snack, Picadillo Norteño puff pies with seasoned ground beef, carrots and potatoes stuffed inside buttery, flaky pie dough.

"Nothing says 'holidays' like crunchy, sweet peppermint, and we wanted to showcase flavors in our winter menu that would help our customers get in the spirit of the season," said Richard Poye, Corner Store's director of foodservice.

The new treats are part of Corner Store's signature line of Fresh Choices foods baked or prepared fresh in the store's kitchen. Other items include sausage kolaches made with sweet bread, cookies, donuts and breakfast tacos on homemade tortillas.
