I loved those so-British After Eight thin mints! My British-friendly, hippy parents used to buy it when I was a kid so it sweetly reminds me of my childhood. In 1988 evil Nestlè got the After Eight brand and I began to be uncomfortable with my thin mints (maybe I could already feel the Nestlè bad vibes), so I seldom bought After Eight (maybe twice since then). But I'm kinda British obsessed so..I had to try any other possible way to have my British mint and chocolate treat! After choco-mints cupcakes I found these nice bars.
This recipe comes from cute Kelly from Vegan Cookies: I respected the original recipe but since I've never heard of mint extract in Italy I simply used mint syrup (the kind you put in water during summer), which already has colouring in it (so no need for green colouring).

My omnivores (i.e. my closest friends) loved these bars, so it's probably one of those treats you can make when you have to feed vegan skeptics.

Oooh what a great idea! I used to love after 8s too! These look MUCH better, though. Look at the gorgeous color, I can bet these definitely would wow a crowd of omni skeptics.
Your photo is beautiful! And the food looks delicious!
Da provare!
They look AWESOME!!! I love the colours. After Eights were vegan up until about a year ago then they changed the recipe. But as you so rightly pointed out; they are owned by Nestle so it's no hardship really.
