Limited Edition Kit Kat Chunky review


It's a tough job being a reviewer some days - NOT ! We received the whole selection of limited edition Chunky Kit Kats to sample so that we could help them in their search for the UK’s ultimate Kit Kat Chunky flavour. They are relying on public input to choose which one could become a permanent addition to the range. I have to say, it was a very difficult choice actually.

The first one we tried was Peanut Butter flavour. I thought this would be my least favourite, as I couldn't quite imagine the saltiness of peanut butter with the sweetness of chocolate but it was actually totally scrumptious and moreish. It had all the flavour of Snickers but with a totally smooth texture. Yum yum yum !

Next on the hotseat was Double Choc. It was nice enough - very chocolatey - but not the most impressive of the bunch as far as we were concerned because it just tasted of the usual chocolate and wafer combination without any extra layers of more original, surprising flavours.

I saved my two fave contenders for last, opting first for the Orange one. I was expecting this to taste like a Terry's Chocolate Orange but the orange flavour isn't that intense. It's a lovely flavour though and complements the chocolate and wafer perfectly. Hmmmm !

Finally, the one I was expecting my ultimate vote to go to was the White Choc one. Ever since munching on Milky Bars as a kid, I have a total soft spot for the sweetness and creaminess of white chocolate with its vanilla undertones that seems much more indulgent than milk or dark chocolate. I would definitely buy these as they're totally delicious.

But, I'm surprised to say, if I had to opt for just one bar, it would actually be the outsider, Peanut Butter, which didn't seem to have very good odds at all at the outset. The flavour is unique and I think it fills a gap in the market. The Americans have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - we want Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter !

Have you tried them and if so, what's your favourite flavour ? Head over to the Kit Kat Facebook page to cast your vote but get in quick - you've only got until the end of the week. I just went to add my vote (which puts you in a prize draw) and Peanut Butter is currently in the lead with 48% of the votes, so I obviously have good taste !! You can vote up to 4 times a day though so it's not too late to make a difference.
