After Eight Biscuits

[Olaf]

Picked these up at the commissary last week. DH has fallen in love with them. They're a mint chocolate covered cookie, very thin wafer. They're made in Germany, but the fact that they're called "biscuits" makes me think they're made for the UK market They're pricey, $3 dollars a box, but yummy. Have you guys heard of them?

After Eights are after dinner mints (wafer thin dark chocolate squares with a fondant mint filling) which have been available in the UK for...ooh...centuries! The biscuit version follows a recent trend to morph every kind of popular chocolate into other dessert items - ice cream being a particular favourite.

We have After Eight Dinner Mint Chocolates here - but not biscuits as far as I know.

Wafer thin chocolate (dark) with a mint fondant (each one individually wrapped) - they also do a white chocolate version with mint fondant and I think orange flavour too.

The biscuits are wonderful, Asda sells them, maybe wal mart will have them too.

Aren't they MO? So yummy. We have the mints too, and we like those as well. But, these cookies (biscuits) are really unique and very good. We have mint cookies, but the cookie part is very thick and a little heavy. These mint cookies have a very thin wafer; they look very much like the mints.

Curious what you pay for them over there?
