Nestlé-owned brand After Eight has introduced a limited-edition cherry and mint chocolate flavour.

The new variant offers a fruity and festive twist on After Eight’s signature rich dark chocolate and smooth peppermint sensations. 

Debbie Bowen, senior brand manager for After Eight, said: ”After Eight has had a place at the nation’s dinner tables for sixty years now, and as we reach our landmark birthday, we want to make it extra special”.

In addition, the brand is also introducing two new festive gifting products across the UK, including Mint Collection Box – which comprises five flavours: dark peppermint and orange flavour fondant, dark chocolate and peppermint, dark peppermint crisp, dark peppermint fondant and milk peppermint truffle.

Bowen added: “We know that three-quarters of British households love mint, so we wanted to ensure that there was a mint-chocolate gift to suit every taste this festive season. Fans have long been asking us for a more formal gifting box, and we are thrilled to be able to bring our brand-new Mint Collection Box with an all-star line-up of five delicious flavours.”
