After Eight Mint

After Eight is a globally recognized brand of mint chocolate thins, originally created by Rowntree & Co. Ltd. in the United Kingdom in 1962. It was designed as an after-dinner treat, as evidenced by its name and the iconic clock logo set to eight o'clock. This specific 'Design Edition by Walala' highlights the brand's occasional collaborations with contemporary artists to modernize its classic packaging.

While the brand was born in York, England, its ownership shifted significantly in 1988 when the Swiss multinational Nestlé acquired Rowntree. Today, while some production maintains a presence in the UK, the bulk of After Eight chocolates sold in Europe is manufactured at Nestlé's specialized confectionery facility in Hamburg, Germany. The brand remains a flagship product for Nestlé, celebrated for its signature thin dark chocolate coating and creamy peppermint fondant filling.
