They are interpreted as symbolizing Jesus' blood sacrifice for our sins. On a more flavorful level, it gave us a peppermint taste around 1900.

The candy was originally a white sugar stick that was shaped into a shepherd's staff by a German choirmaster in the 1670s. That symbolizes Jesus as the Good Shepherd.
