No dinner party is complete without a box of Nestle After Eight Mints. Perfect for passing round when coffee is served, these iconic mint chocolates have become a much-loved British institution since their launch in 1962.

If you didn’t already know, Nestle After Eight Mints are delicious dark chocolate mints with a mint fondant centre. They are made from the finest cocoa beans and 100% natural peppermint oil.

After Eight Mints are one of those rare products that actually created a niche (instead of filling one). Before their launch, there was no such thing as the after dinner mint; today there are lots to choose from – but only one original.
