We've got some very exciting chocolate news - gin and tonic flavoured After Eights are now a thing, and they look delicious.
The new, limited edition choccies feature a mouthwatering gin and tonic-flavoured fondant, dipped in that smooth dark chocolate we know and love - and they're dropping in the UK very soon.
The zingy gin is the perfect pairing for the rick dark cocoa and we reckon these will be just as easy to scoff as the originals (cue plenty of those pesky wrappers!)
The wafer thin chocs will hit supermarket shelves in 200g cartons from 7th September and will be available until Christmas. We've got a feeling these will end up in plenty of gin lovers' Christmas stockings...

A spokesperson for After Eight said: "Gin has rapidly become the nation's spirit of choice, so what could be better than combining the flavours of our favourite tipple with the delicious mint fondant and dark chocolate that has made After Eight so popular for almost 60 years.
"After Eight Gin & Tonic & Mint is a delightfully fresh, zesty twist on a classic, and we believe it will prove to be a very popular addition to the range."

Announcing the news on Twitter today, After Eight wrote: "Are you ready for something Gin-credible?! The same #AFTEREIGHT mint thin you know and love but this time with a flavour of your favourite Gin & Tonic tipple!
"Coming soon to a store near you!"
The brand had been teasing the news all week, writing: "It's gin o'clock at After Eight" earlier this morning.
And it seems After Eight fans are mega excited about the idea of a gin and tonic flavour, with one person writing: "Yummy, I need to try this."

While another simply wrote: "Nom nom nom".
It's fair to say we'll be swiping these off the shelves as soon as they drop...
