A Classic Mint Crossover
Brand crossovers are a reliable source of novelty in the UK snack market, and this concept brings together two heavyweights of the freezer and the after-dinner tray. The mockup shows a standard three-pack Magnum box, rebranded in the familiar dark green and gold of Nestlé’s After Eight. It’s a simple proposition. It suggests a peppermint ice cream with a fondant core, coated in dark chocolate.
The packaging is clear and direct. It merges the established visual identities of both brands, placing the Magnum logo centrally above the After Eight clock face. This isn’t the first time an iconic mint has been imagined in a new format, but combining it with the specific architecture of a Magnum ice cream stick—the cracking chocolate shell, the dense ice cream—gives the idea a very distinct shape.
Magnum’s Existing Mint Variant
Of course, Magnum already has a mint product in its range. Unilever currently produces Magnum Mint Ice Cream Sticks, which are sold in both standard and mini sizes. But this is a different thing entirely. The existing bar uses mint-flavoured ice cream, crunchy crystallised sugar pieces for texture, and a milk chocolate coating. It is a solid, established part of the lineup.
The After Eight concept would sit alongside it as a more specific, arguably more refined, alternative. The flavour profile of an After Eight is dark chocolate and a smooth peppermint fondant. This mockup proposes exactly that: a liquid peppermint core and a dark chocolate shell. It swaps texture for a focused flavour hit. It’s a simple change. But a significant one.
After Eight Beyond the Wafer
While this ice cream is a work of fiction, the After Eight brand itself has a history of extending beyond its original thin wafer format. Nestlé has previously expanded the brand into products like dessert pots, hot chocolate, and seasonal items including Easter eggs and sharing bags of chocolate bites. Moving into the freezer aisle would be a logical step in that pattern of diversification.
The brand’s core identity is tied to a specific flavour combination, which is highly transferable. Unlike snacks where the format is everything, the essence of After Eight is purely about taste. That makes it a flexible partner for collaborations, real or imagined. This Magnum concept is a testament to the strength of that dark chocolate and peppermint pairing.
What the real range looks like
The current Magnum range in the UK includes Magnum Mint, Almond, Classic, Salted Caramel, and White Chocolate sticks, as well as variants like Double Raspberry. This After Eight Mint Core concept would compete directly with the existing Magnum Mint, which features mint ice cream and sugar pieces in a milk chocolate shell, rather than the proposed dark chocolate and fondant core.
