57 - Mints

Theme 349.

This is a little pot that held a version of After Eight mints - I'd never seen this version in the UK, so when I was visiting my friend Christin in Germany and I saw these, I had to get them as much for the novelty value of the case, as for the sweets inside.

The normal After Eight mints are about 2 inches by 2 inches, and thin (mint fondant creme inside dark chocolate). This version has small little balls of mint fondant, covered in a hard, crunchy dark chocolate case. They got eaten pretty quickly, so the pot has long since been empty (I visited in October 2006), but it still fits, as a minty theme!
