Questions about After Eight mints
What are After Eight mints made of?
They are thin squares of dark chocolate wrapped around a soft, peppermint-flavoured fondant centre. The name refers to the tradition of serving a mint after dinner, rather than a required time to eat them.
How many After Eight mints are in a serving?
Five mints weigh about 42 g; one mint is about 8 g. They are rich in sugar, so a single mint can be an easy way to enjoy one without opening several wrappers.
Should After Eight mints be kept in the fridge?
Keep them in a cool, dry cupboard, away from heat and strong smells. Chilling can make the chocolate harder and mute the peppermint aroma; if you do refrigerate them in warm weather, let them come towards room temperature before serving.
Can you melt After Eight mints for baking?
Yes. Chop them and fold them into brownie or biscuit batter, or melt gently in short bursts in a microwave, stirring between each burst. The fondant centre makes the mixture sweeter and softer than plain melted chocolate.
What can you serve with After Eight mints?
They are traditionally offered after dinner with coffee or tea. You can also crumble them over vanilla ice cream or use them to decorate a chocolate cake.
Are After Eight mints the same as After Eight filled chocolate?
They are closely related products, but the filled chocolate has a thicker chocolate shell and a softer filling. Per 100 g, the filled chocolate has 423 kcal and 3.7 g protein, compared with 432 kcal and 1.7 g protein in After Eight mints.
