A great find at British store Stonemanor in Everberg (in between Brussels & Leuven). Dark chocolates with mint filling!
It has been ages since I’ve eaten after eights, and these come pretty close! The filling is not as smooth as after eights though, and the chocolate is crunchier. The Bittermints have a very strong mint taste. Lovely!
The ingredients list does not mention any animal ingredients, and Bendicks list these Bittermints as suitable for vegans.

I’ve had these before, they’re addictive. Once I’ve started a box, I can’t stop 🙂
haha, yes, I understand 😉 Maybe it’s a good thing the shop where we bought these is a 100 km away 😉
oh wow…I’m glad I cannot find them here!!!!
I love the Stonemanor too! I will try these one’s soon!
It was the first time we visited this shop. Lucky you that it is so close to you 🙂
Yes, but my favorite English sea salt from maldon, they don’t sell!

First ingredient is sugar and sugar is not vegan because it is processed with animal products.
Not all sugar is processed with animal products (like bone char). In the European Union for example (where I live), the use of bone char is strictly limited and sugar is generally safe for vegans. Organic sugar generally too.
