Mint Chocolate

Chocolate and mint are old friends. From Aero and After Eights to mint choc chip ice cream, this pairing has long been a favourite. Mint may be a humble garden herb, but its cool, menthol kick brings a refreshing contrast to rich chocolate — and we can’t get enough of it.

Here are some of our top picks to get you started.

The Chocolate Society's Peppermint Swirl 61% dark / 31% white chocolate bar is perfect for the indecisive chocolate lover. Can’t choose between dark and white? This marbled bar delivers both. It starts bold and fresh, then melts into creamy sweetness with a lingering mint finish. Beautiful to look at and even better to eat.

Kernow's Mint Caramel 35% milk chocolate consists of sweet, buttery milk chocolate studded with caramel pieces and lifted by cool mint. Soft, creamy and candy-cane-adjacent, this bar proves mint works just as well in sweeter chocolates.

A Scottish classic, the Mint 70% dark chocolate from Mackie's is a rich dark chocolate dotted with crispy mint pieces that create bursts of cooling freshness without tipping into bitterness. Dangerously moreish. But looking a sweeter alternative? Montezuma's' Minted 35% milk chocolate uses peppermint oil and crunchy mint pieces to make sure the flavour shines in every bite. A perfectly balanced crowd-pleaser.
