Vital question 😆 - best after-dinner mints

[Whitney168]

Any recommendations welcomed - emphasis on dark chocolate and strong mint flavour, I think, rather than a Bendicks Bittermint type with fondant filling.

This is indeed an important question.

Divine are pretty good - similar style to After Eights, and fair trade.

Excellent suggestion to start, have a trip to F&M planned, definitely a contender.

Probably lovely, but a bit too After Eight-ish I think, might as well buy the originals for nostalgia’s sake. I’d like something that looks a bit posh (style over substance 🤣).

Has anyone tried the Prestat ones?

After eights!!! Nothing compares!

We like Bendicks

Charbonnel et Walker seem to do some fancy looking ones too?

Think I am inclined towards just the flavoured chocolate ones, but they need to be punchy.

Only after 8's if you can put the wrappers back!

The m&s dark chocolate and mint selection box is pretty good

Nothing can beat Bittermints, unfortunately after an expensive mistake.

Green and blacks is nice. And the Aldi posh mint dark chocolate moser Roth

I like the Elizabeth shaw mint crisp ones

Good Housekeeping taste test seems to firmly go for the cheaper ones 😆

Both the above come in individually wrapped smallish bars

@Candleabra has beat me to recommending Elizabeth Shaw Mint Crisps...I bloody love those!

Will look at all the suggestions. F&M Napolitains look purty too.

I love after eights, but I have to say I bought Morrison’s own ones in the past they were thicker, but really nice, chocolate and flavour. Quite a while ago though, I don’t live close to a Morrison’s now.

I love Elizabeth Shaw too. And Bittermints, just want less fondant as they’ll come at the end of a multi-course meal.

Have no fear, I know I’m being daft, but I want ones that look lovely.

We were bought some summerdown dark chocolate mint thins last year and they were excellent. Looks like you can get them from a few different places online www.summerdown.com/shop/peppermint-chocolates/chocolate-mint-thins/

They sound good …

They’re really nice, I was happy to discover they’re vegan last year so ate a couple of boxes of them over Xmas.

The bendicks mint selection has a mint crisp style chocolate as one of the options inside (though the whole box is delicious)
Love mint chocolate, but has to be dark choc not milk

I have to avoid After Eight now because I realised they were Nestlé... a shame as they were always my go-to after dinner mint.

I have since found the Divine dark mint thins.... divine. The ginger thins in the same set are also luscious.

I don't really like any 'crunch' versions.

If you'd like, you could send me a box of each of those recommended, I could sample them well, eat them all and let you know my opinion.

Also a vote for the Elizabeth Shaw ones.
