Extra Dark Peppermint Fondants

Summerdown Extra Dark Peppermint Fondants, mint chocolates in foil

Extra Dark Peppermint Fondants by Summerdown are dark mint chocolates from Hampshire, a cool fondant center beneath tart dark chocolate, each individually wrapped in foil. We supply them in a bow-tied bag, ready for gifting.

Extra Dark Peppermint Fondants are the individually wrapped mint chocolates from the Summerdown mint farm in Hampshire. We hand-fill each 100-gram bag with around twelve dark chocolate discs containing a soft peppermint fondant center, wrapped in shiny foil and tied with a bow.

Crinkling foil, then a cool center

Every chocolate begins with the same little ritual: the crinkle of the wrapper, a sound familiar to everyone at the coffee table. Beneath it lies a dark disc that shines as if it had just come from the workshop. There are twelve such small performances in a single bag.

The shell of dark chocolate, with at least 55 percent cocoa, has a crisp, tart snap, then the fondant takes over. It is soft, light, and cool, and the Black Mitcham peppermint permeates both layers.

Because the center accounts for the largest part of the chocolate, it tastes sweeter and creamier than the brand's thin thins. The tart chocolate provides the perfect counterpoint, and in the end, one thing remains above all: a long, clean freshness.

A bag born to be a gift

With a bow and shiny contents, this bag is a ready-made gift that requires neither wrapping paper nor crafting skills. It fits into any coat pocket yet makes an impression when placed on the table.

Place a wrapped chocolate next to each espresso cup at a dinner party, or use them to fill advent calendars and plates during the holidays. Because each one is individually wrapped, the rest stay fresh even if the bag remains open for weeks.

They are the perfect, calm finish to an after-dinner espresso, just as the English tea table loves it. If you prefer the fondant center without the foil, you will find it in our Peppermint Creams, and the Ultimate Mint Collection brings together all the house's varieties.

Why every chocolate has its own dress

The foil is more protection than decoration, as it keeps air and moisture away from the chocolate. This keeps the disc shiny and the fondant soft for about two years.

They are wrapped at Summerdown in Hampshire, where the Black Mitcham peppermint oil is sourced from their own fields and distilled directly on the estate. We handle the packaging: we weigh the chocolates by hand into bags and tie the bow around them.

One disc weighs about eight grams—a portion that lasts exactly one espresso. Enough for the moment, and small enough to enjoy unwrapping another one tomorrow.

The bag for a small gesture

Stored in a cool, dry place, the chocolates last for about two years, so the bag can wait patiently for its recipient. It is the perfect small gesture for when a full box would be too much. You can find more dark chocolate in our range, and the rest of the farm's varieties in the Summerdown selection.
