After Eight Mints are thin, rectangular dark chocolate enrobed mints, a classic confectionery treat. They are made with a dark chocolate shell and a smooth, fondant-based mint cream filling, originating from the United Kingdom.
As a candy, they are high in carbohydrates from sugar and contain a moderate amount of fat from the chocolate, providing minimal protein. A typical serving of two mints contains roughly 100-120 calories.
