After Eight, a well-known British chocolate brand famous for its mint-flavored confections since 1962, has introduced a new permanent flavor: orange. The new 200g packs are now available at major UK supermarkets like Morrisons and Tesco for £4, with a Clubcard discount reducing the price to £2.50. This version replaces the traditional mint filling with a zesty orange fondant, offering a fresh twist on the classic treat. The brand had previously experimented with limited-edition flavors, including Orange and Mint and Mojito and Mint, but the new orange flavor marks the first time the brand has permanently added a non-mint option. While the UK Newest Foods Facebook page reported sightings of other potential flavors like raspberry and caramel, these are not currently available in stores. Consumer reactions to the new orange flavor have been mixed. Some, like Leena M Liljestrand, praised it as "heaven," while others were less enthusiastic. Caroline Greenwood expressed interest in both the orange and caramel flavors, and Diane Dudding called them "lovely." However, several customers, including Shar Law, Julie Davies, Nicola Procter, Richard Browne, and Jakki Williamson, criticized the change, with some urging the brand to "stick to the mint" and others expressing frustration over the introduction of new flavors. Sweet Reviews UK described the orange flavor as "moreish," highlighting the vibrant orange color of the filling and the overall sweetness. However, they noted that the flavor might not be as strong or punchy as expected. In other chocolate news, Marks & Spencer's The Big Mix, a festive tin containing 10 different sweets, has become popular, with prices at £7 for a 650g carton or £12 for a 1.2kg tin. Lindt has also launched a new seasonal flavor inspired by the classic baked treat, the Cinnamon Roll, featuring biscuit pieces in a smooth milk shell and a milk filling infused with natural cinnamon.
