We've just polished off a whole box. Pigs.

Couldn't help it.

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?

No thats a bit severe...we should put sugar free mint thins in place, pretending its a new full box, but then again plenty of loo roll should be on standby..Or did what I did, put chocolate covered cardboard in for revenge..was only a few pieces, but got the attention of the phantom stealthy after eighter at the time..I said take a few not half the box..meh.

Great choccie treat, was my fave from childhood, great one year when I got an after eight easter egg, was not fussed by the huge egg much!

Either is fine. These people are the scum of the earth and no thought should be wasted on the manner of their destruction. Whatever works at the time.

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.

They used to do a ginger version too, but not seen those for ages.

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.
