This classic after-dinner chocolate has had a boozy upgrade

Who doesn't love an After Eight?

One of the unsung heroes of the Christmas chocolate line up and delish enjoyed straight from the freezer (top tip), After Eights are launching an interesting new flavour at the start of next month that has us intrigued to say the least... Mojito and Mint After Eights, anyone? After the huge success of their limited edition Gin & Tonic After Eights last year they're back with a new boozy offering, and hoping this new flavour will go down just as well. Inspired by the classic Cuban cocktail, the sweet zesty squares will feature Mojito and mint flavoured fondant  surrounded by rich dark chocolate which has been ethically sourced through the Nestlé Cocoa Plan. Ahead of the launch, Nestlé's confectionary marketing manager Maria McKenna said:

After Eight Mojito & Mint is a grown-up and sophisticated take on our classic fondant, with a refreshing and zesty flavour that is sure to delight fans of the brand both old and new.  Whether you enjoy it alongside an after-dinner coffee or as a treat at any time of the day, we think our newest mint is a delicious tribute to one of the nation’s favourite cocktails!
