After Eights have traditionally been eaten in the Lools household at Christmas for as long as I can remember. This is usually been the traditional variety however last year I decided to be less traditional and try a "white" Christmas option for the After Eight White Chocolate After Dinner Mints. ***Packaging*** The after dinner mints come in a cream colour rectangular box. This is a 300g box which is about 15cm long by 4cm wide. This sits length ways and opens at the top to display all 35 after dinner mints inside. The After Eight dark green logo is written in swirly writing with a very traditional look to the box. Inside the ...  Read the complete review

Well, i am used to the chocolate After Eights, but White chocolate After Eights? what is that all about? I was actually quite shocked when i strolled along the aisle of the supermarket and scanned across these. I just had to pick them up and try them out.....and this is what i thought.

This is the last of the Christmas chocolates I'm eating just in time for Easter because nobody in my house likes white chocolate except for my baby sister but she can't have these because the mint is too strong. They are the same as normal After Eights but they have used white chocolate instead of dark and the mint fondant in the middle is the same. The white chocolate is creamy but it is very sweet and this makes each chocolate very sickly. I don't like white chocolate but sometimes I can eat it like today but I couldn't eat as many of these After Eights as I can the dark chocolate ones and I've eaten a whole box of those before but I couldnt do that with ...  Read the complete review
