White Knight (chocolate)

A White Knight is a chocolate coated, chewy, mint flavoured confectionery bar sold in Australia. It is manufactured by Nestle Australia. The packaging is blue and white and features a picture of a knight on a horse. It's slogan is 'Mighty Mint Chew'.

The 25 gram bar is composed of a white, mint flavoured chewy center coated in chocolate.

It the 1980s the bar used to lay on top of a piece of cardboard within the wrapper. On the reverse of the card was a picture of a fictional knight which could be bent at the base to stand up. Kids would aim to trade and collect the set of these knights. This part of the packaging was unfortunately discontinued years later, presumably as a cost cutting measure.

It is sold in major Australian supermarkets, such as Woolworths and Coles, as well as some discount department stores (eg. Kmart) and milk bars/convenience stores. The current price in Australia is 75c (Coles/Woolworths/Kmart) as at August 2008.
