After Eight (Chocolate Peppermint) Oatcakes

I only started liking after eights last Christmas. And got addicted. The so dark yet sweet at the same time. The peppermint creme melding perfect with its bitter dark chocolate casing.

The combination is amazing, and so I made it into a oatcake stack. Like I always do. So now I can enjoy the delightful mix, without the guilt.
