After Eight Dark Mint Chocolate Box 300g

Name: After Eight Dark Mint Chocolate Box 300g
Brand: After Eight
SKU: 5000426171518

Wafer thin pieces of mint fondant wrapped in dark chocolate, each in their own crisp envelope. After Eight wafer thin mints in their classic carton are the nation's favourite after dinner mints. Each square piece is the perfect balance of soft, refreshing mint fondant with thin dark chocolate, making it the finishing touch to any meal. AFTER EIGHT has been at the heart of the British nation since 1962 when it was launched in order to tap into a gap in the market for Rowntree's for After Dinner chocolate mints. Rowntree's therefore decided to develop a wafer thin mint, and AFTER EIGHT was born. Since launch AFTER EIGHT has been proudly produced in West Yorkshire, initially in Castleford before moving to Halifax in 2013. Over the years, there have been several memorable advertising campaigns including, perhaps the most iconic, 'Dinner Party' campaign in 1999 featuring Stephen Fry, Niomi Campbell and Marilyn Monroe. Today, AFTER EIGHT continues to be a firm British favourite with over 280m individual sweets enjoyed every year in the UK.

Good Times Begin After Eight®

After Eight® was established in 1962 by Rowntree’s before becoming part of our Nestlé family in 1988

In 2012, Brian Sollit - the inventor of After Eight® - came out of retirement to help create a giant 3kg After Eight® mint chocolate in celebration of 50 years of our iconic treat.
