After Eight is a brand of mint chocolate confectionery. It was created by Rowntree's in the United Kingdom in 1962 and is now produced by Nestlé. The mints are thin, rectangular chocolates with a mint-flavored fondant center.
History[edit | edit source]
After Eight was introduced by Rowntree's in 1962. The product was designed to be a sophisticated after-dinner mint, and it quickly became popular in the UK and other markets. In 1988, Nestlé acquired Rowntree's, and After Eight became part of Nestlé's portfolio of confectionery brands.
Product Description[edit | edit source]
After Eight mints are known for their distinctive packaging and presentation. Each mint is individually wrapped in a dark green sleeve, and the mints are typically sold in a rectangular box. The chocolate coating is dark, and the mint fondant center is smooth and creamy.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
Over the years, several variations of After Eight have been introduced, including:
- After Eight Straws: Thin sticks of dark chocolate with a mint fondant center.
- After Eight Bites: Bite-sized pieces of the original After Eight mints.
- After Eight Ice Cream: Mint-flavored ice cream with pieces of After Eight mints.
Manufacturing[edit | edit source]
The production of After Eight mints involves a precise process to ensure the quality and consistency of the product. The mint fondant is prepared and then enrobed in dark chocolate. The mints are then cooled and packaged.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
After Eight mints have become a popular choice for after-dinner treats and are often associated with formal dining and special occasions. They are also a common gift item during holidays such as Christmas.
