After Eight mint chocolates

After Eight is a world-renowned brand of mint chocolate thins, originally created by Rowntree & Company Limited in the United Kingdom in 1962. The product was designed to be an 'after-dinner' luxury snack, combining dark chocolate with a refreshing mint fondant center. Following the acquisition of Rowntree by Nestlé in 1988, the brand transitioned to Nestlé's global confectionery portfolio.

Today, After Eight is manufactured in several locations to meet global demand, with a major production hub located in Hamburg, Germany. The brand is owned by Nestlé S.A., a Swiss multinational food and beverage conglomerate, which is one of the largest food companies in the world. The product is known for its iconic green packaging and clock logo, symbolizing its status as a sophisticated treat for the late evening.
