Andes After Dinner Mints — Classic Chocolate Thins
Our Andes After Dinner Mints have been the signature finish to great meals since 1950. Each rectangular chocolate features three distinct layers: rich cocoa on top and bottom with a refreshing mint center that delivers the perfect balance of chocolate and peppermint.
We craft every mint to the same exacting standards that made us famous. The smooth, creamy texture melts on your tongue, releasing cool peppermint flavor enveloped in our premium chocolate coating. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or treating yourself after a special meal, these classic mints deliver the sophisticated taste experience that’s made them an American favorite for generations.
What makes our signature mint special
Three-Layer Chocolate Craftsmanship
The distinctive three-layer construction of Andes After Dinner Mints sets them apart from ordinary chocolate candies. We start with a base layer of smooth, premium chocolate, add our signature cool peppermint center, then seal everything with a top chocolate layer.
This carefully engineered structure ensures the mint flavor releases gradually as the chocolate melts. The outer chocolate layers protect the delicate peppermint filling while adding rich cocoa notes that complement the refreshing mint. Every piece maintains the same precise thickness and weight, guaranteeing a consistent taste experience in every individually wrapped mint.
Serving Suggestions & Occasions
While we created our mints specifically as an after-dinner treat, they shine in countless settings. Display them in a decorative bowl at dinner parties, offer them alongside coffee or espresso, or include them in dessert presentations for an elegant finishing touch.
