About After Eight
After Eight is one of the UK's most beloved chocolate brands, famous for their elegant dark chocolate thin mints that have graced dinner tables since 1962. Originally created by Rowntree's and now owned by Nestlé, After Eight has become synonymous with sophisticated after-dinner indulgence. The distinctive green box is an iconic sight at Christmas and throughout the year. The classic After Eight Mint Chocolate Thins remain the brand's signature product. Each individually wrapped thin features dark chocolate encasing a smooth peppermint fondant centre. The combination of rich, slightly bitter dark chocolate with cooling mint creates the refreshing finish that makes them perfect after a meal. The elegant packaging, with each thin in its own paper envelope, adds to the sense of occasion. The range has expanded to include new variants. The Dark & Milk Peppermint Chocolate Box combines both dark and milk chocolate options for those who prefer a sweeter chocolate experience. These provide variety while maintaining the signature mint fondant filling. Beyond the traditional thins, After Eight has extended into desserts with the After Eight Mousse - a chilled chocolate mousse with the brand's characteristic mint flavour. This offers a different way to enjoy the beloved flavour combination. After Eight holds a special place in British food culture. They're particularly associated with Christmas dinner, where passing round the distinctive green box has become a tradition in many households. They also make elegant gifts and are popular at dinner parties. For UK shoppers seeking classic mint chocolates, After Eight is available at all major supermarkets including Tesco, Morrisons, Ocado, and Iceland.
