Grown Up Kit Kat Bars
Hershey’s has come out with multiple new flavors in the U.S. - Extra Creamy, Coffee, White Chocolate, Orange Creme, and Mint.
In Japan, Kit Kat is made by Nestle and now also comes in Noir, Wine, Strawberry, and White Maple Syrup.
The reviews for Strawberry and White Maple Syrup are coming next week. For an amazing full list of Kit Kat flavors (with pictures), check out the Wikipedia Kit Kat page.
The Reviews (not merijoe's):
Noir: Both the Noir and Wine flavors come in small boxes containing 16 mini Kit Kat bars which are so freakin’ cute. The outside of the Noir is covered by a dark, bitter chocolate, there is a nut cream between the wafers, and it is dusted with a rich cocoa powder. The Noir Kit Kat is good…really good. It tastes expensive and decadent - not two words I usually associate with Kit Kat. If you like Kit Kat and dark chocolate, you should love Noir Kit Kat.
Wine: I was expecting to dislike this flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. It didn’t taste like wine to me. It’s a super-creamy, slightly strawberry-ish flavor that tastes really good. The description of it says it has a distinct wine aftertaste, but I didn’t taste it at all. It was quite good if not a bit sweet - almost too sweet. Definitely worth a try though.
