Frequently Asked Questions About After Eight Chocolate
What is After Eight Chocolate?
After Eight Chocolate is a thin dark-chocolate mint sweet with a soft fondant centre. The individually portioned pieces are commonly served after dinner, often alongside coffee or tea.
Why is After Eight Chocolate called After Eight?
The name refers to enjoying a mint after the evening meal, traditionally after eight o’clock. It reflects the product’s original positioning as a post-dinner sweet rather than a special ingredient or flavour.
Does After Eight Chocolate contain real mint?
After Eight Chocolate gets its mint flavour from mint flavouring, traditionally peppermint oil, rather than a filling of fresh mint leaves. The smooth centre is fondant, a sugar-based confection covered with dark chocolate.
How is the mint centre in After Eight Chocolate made?
The centre is a soft sugar fondant flavoured with mint, shaped into thin pieces and covered with dark chocolate. It is not a mint cream made from dairy, although recipes and ingredients can vary between markets.
Does After Eight Chocolate contain alcohol?
Classic After Eight Chocolate is a mint fondant sweet coated in dark chocolate and is not traditionally made with alcoholic spirits. Special editions or locally sold versions may differ, so check the ingredients for the specific product.
How should you serve After Eight Chocolate?
Serve After Eight Chocolate as a small after-dinner sweet, on its own or with coffee. Letting the pieces come to room temperature brings out the mint flavour and makes the fondant centre softer.
Can you freeze After Eight Chocolate?
Yes, you can freeze After Eight Chocolate in a tightly sealed container, but bring it back to room temperature before opening. This helps prevent condensation from forming on the chocolate and affecting its surface.
Why does After Eight Chocolate turn white?
A whitish film on After Eight Chocolate is usually chocolate bloom: fat or sugar crystals brought to the surface by temperature changes or moisture. It is not usually mould, but discard the sweets if they smell or look unusual.
Does After Eight Chocolate have caffeine?
Yes, its dark-chocolate coating contains some naturally occurring caffeine from cocoa. The amount varies by product and serving, so people particularly sensitive to caffeine may prefer not to eat it close to bedtime.
Can dogs eat After Eight Chocolate?
No, keep After Eight Chocolate away from dogs. Cocoa contains theobromine, which is toxic to them; if your dog eats some, contact a veterinarian promptly and tell them how much was eaten.

What is After Eight Chocolate?
After Eight Chocolate is a packaged confection made from thin layers of dark chocolate surrounding a soft mint fondant centre. Its crisp chocolate shell gives way to a smooth, sweet filling, with the cocoa bitterness balancing the mint’s cool flavour.
In Britain, it is traditionally served after dinner as a small sweet, often alongside coffee; elsewhere, it also works as a bite with tea or as part of a selection of chocolates for guests. The pieces are rich in carbohydrates, with 76.5 g per 100 g, so their sweetness is best enjoyed in a modest portion. One piece can be enough when you want a minty finish to a meal without serving a larger dessert.
