They're okay. I'll eat them if they're there, but I don't seek them out.

I don't like mint candy much but I like mint tea and ice cream.
I like to use the herb mint in cooking.
I grow mint and use it in salads and with crushed or baked potatoes, sometimes in mint tea and when it gets near the end of the season i make whats left into mint sauce, it goes great with roast lamb.
Mint sweet. If one of the children offer me one I'll take it and enjoy it but i don't buy them for myself.

Mint on baked potatoes? I don't know why that sounds so strange since I used to love mint and parsley butter on baby potatoes, but it has never occured to me to use mint on a baker.
What do you do with it?
Just before eating cut into the potato and open it up. A knob of butter, salt and fresh mint leaves (just torn and bruised)
I've only ever seen it used briefly in stuff like mint jellies. What do you put mint in/on?
I use it on potatoes or with roast lamb. Also in salads mixed with the greens. Nice to pop a few leaves in the pan when boiling peas.
Hint for growing mint. Don't plant it directly into the ground but rather in a container of some sort, pot, bucket etc. Reason being it spreads like wildfire and takes no prisoners.
There's a lot of stuff to put it in. @ChristineM had some good suggestions. Its often used in Indian food, too. Mint chutney anyone?
Watermelon soup/salad comes to mind. All kinds of spring salads you could toss it into(think it blends well with feta).

Yes, mint is very good in raita or Tzatziki (yoghourt and cucumber). It is also good in a salad with feta cheese, to accompany lamb kebabs or similar. And of course it is excellent in summer cocktails, such as Pimms.
One English practice I detest however, is that acrid mint sauce with vinegar that people tended to serve with roast lamb, at least when I was growing up.
Talking of soup, here's a beauty "Strawberry and mint soup"
This morning at market i grabbed a couple of punnets of the first Charlotte strawberries (my favourite) some will make said soup for tomorrows desert.

A knob? Is that a metric unit?

Nah, i used my mom used knobs of butter a long time before decimalisation.
It a flexible lump of butter size depends on the dish you are making.
