We've just polished off a whole box. Pigs.
Couldn't help it. |

I could not get enough of the milk chocolate after eight they did! Was so nice.

Not for me, can't stand mint with chocolate but love it in savoury dishes. Weird.

You are ignoring the real issue with After Eights which is: should the people who put the empty envelopes back in the box be hanged or shot?

I love them too. I did also like the limited edition milk chocolate ones. Am I imagining it but we're there some orange filled centre ones?

I haven't had them for ages, but when I do eat them they have to be straight out of the freezer

I love them too. Also like Mintola which have a similar taste but cheaper, but I don't know if they're still made as I haven't bought chocolate for ages.

God, I haven't had Aftr Eights in years! I was given a box of Bendicks mints for my birthday and they're foul - rock hard fondant and the chocolate's so bitter it's almost inedible.

Thorntons mint selection is yummy too. I always buy a box for my OH at Christmas and then make him share

I like the Fry's chocolate mint bars too but have only seen them in health food shops recently and they are quite expensive.
