Title: Ashbury Mintsations
Post by: on June 18, 2006, 10:22:38 pm

Father's day present!


"Dark chocolate with refreshing fondant mint centres"


These are actually 2cm diameter green striped chocolate balls with what I would describe as an almost creamy (buttery?) mint fondant centre.


Not unpleasant but I still would rather have Mingles (who wouldn't?) or After Eight.


Good try. 6.5/10


Technical note: the green colouring is chlorophyll.

"Mintsations"    I love it when companies give their products silly names like this.

Sounds delightful.  Where can one purchase them?

They sound like Thorntons Luxury Mint Creams. They have a very creamy, cream mint filling and a crispy chocolate coating too. Also, they are HUGE! Lovely.

Well yes, you would expect cream to be creamy.
