Nestle After Eights White Chocolate Mints > Reviews (3)

Well, I haven’t done a nice choccy opinion for a while now so I just had to give it another go.
The other day, a friend of my Nan’s (Note: Not my NAN but a friend of) gave me a box of White Chocolate After Eight mints.

Why they did this is beyond me, I don’t usually go round buying people I hardly know a box of choccies but I’ll be damned if I was going to complain.
What a nice little (ahem!) big, cheapskate I am, well I suppose someone has to be, might as well be me.

Jubilantly, I carried my box of heavenly treats hope for further investigation, here are my findings:

~~~~~~PACKAGING~~~~~~

The creamy colored rectangular box is elegantly designed, as it is really aimed at the more up-market of people.
The After Eight dark green logo, is written in fancy writing and there is an old fashioned looking gold clock in the middle of the box. After tearing off the clear cellophane wrapper, I opened the box to be greeted with no less than 35 wafer thin chocolate mints, each one inside their very own little shiny, cream colored sleeve.

~~~~~~PRICE AND NUTRITION INFORMATION~~~~~~

I’m not 100% sure about the price as I was given them as a present but I have been told by a friend that each 300g box costs approximately 4GBP’s.
There are 422 calories and 11.6g of fat for every 100g, approximately 36 calories per chocolate and 0.9g fat.

~~~~~~TASTE, LOOK AND SMELL~~~~~~

Once removed from their posh little sleeve, these wafer thin morsels simply look like a white rippled square, they smell like a mixture of creamy chocolate and toothpaste (weird one would say?) Nah, quite nice actually.

Biting into one, you are greeted with a delicious creamy white chocolate shell and inside is a refreshing white peppermint fondant cream center.
As these are supposed to be ‘after dinner mint chocolates’ they are really meant to be used at dinner parties to annihilate any unwanted nasty niffs that your garlic infested meal may have left behind via your breath.

They are sweet and do house a very strong minty kick but they are simply perfect to munch after any meal.
Oh enough of this snobby talk, who am I kidding? I aint a snob and I don’t have dinner parties, I simply sat there and scoffed the entire box in the space of half an hours worth of Ciao-ing LOL.

~~~~~~MY FINAL THOUGHTS~~~~~~

After Eights come in two varieties, white chocolate and plain (dark) chocolate, I have tasted both of them and strongly prefer the white chocolate ones.
They are very minty and as a result, they do actually freshen your breath in the process, thus killing two birds with one stone so to speak.

I would quite happily chomp through another box of these as a gift as the product quality is of a very high standard but as for paying 4 pounds plus a box, I think I’ll pass.
There is no mention on the box of any nut traces so I think for you allergy prone people out there, it is safe to buy them.
Personally, I think they make a great gift to someone but they are simply too expensive to enjoy on a frequent basis.

Thanks for the read.

DEANO!
