Beech’s Classic Dark Chocolate Mint Creams - 90g

Chocolate creams belong to the old-fashioned end of the British sweet shop, next to the jars and the paper bags. Mint is the one most people reach for, usually with a cup of coffee at the end of a meal, when nobody wants pudding but everybody wants something.

In Canada, people tend to look for these by name. They remember the dark chocolate, the sharp mint, the box at a grandparent's house, and they want that exact one, not something roughly in the same postcode.

The 90g pack is a sensible amount for a few people after dinner, if somebody is keeping an eye on it. Keep it in a cool cupboard away from the sun and the chocolate stays as it should. Put them out with the coffee, take them to a dinner party, or keep them for yourself and say nothing.

Beech's make a wider range of chocolate creams in the same traditional style. People often pick these up alongside a box of proper British tea, because a mint cream and a strong brew get on very well.
