Kit Kat Tourism: Cookies & Cream
There is nothing more exciting than going to Coles and seeing a new flavour of Kit Kat. But it also kinda sucks, because you realise your old favourites like Kit Kat Cookie Dough are never coming back. It’s sorta the fucked up appeal of Kit Kats - they’re always getting rid of flavours you like to make room for new ones that you might not. But you just have to try them all. It’s a neomaniacs dream. Especially in Japan. They have like 50 million different flavours, and weird ones too, like Fan and Black Sugar. Okay maybe not Fan, but that’s certainly what it looked like from the package. Black Sugar looked and kinda tasted like turd. Anyway, yeah, Cookies & Cream - the latest Australian Kit Kat Flavour. It’s in the chunky bar format, rather than the classic four stick style. I like the chunky better. The official description from Nestle’s Kit Kat site:
Smooth Filling with Crunchy Cookie Pieces over a Crisp Chocolate Wafer Finger Covered in Smooth Milk Chocolate.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. You can even taste the unnecessary capitalization, which is probably why I found it overwhelmingly creamy, and not in a good way. It’s supposed to be milk chocolate, but the abundance of creamy filling (which I think is supposed to have something to do with Oreos) makes it taste like white chocolate. And I hate white chocolate. It’s not even chocolate, anyway. Overall, Cookies & Cream is okay, but it’s more like a failure version of my all time favourite, Cookie Dough, which had delicious caramel to temper the creaminess, and just the right amount of salt. But that said, it’s still heaps better than Mint or Black Sugar. Worth trying, but probably not destined to be your favourite.

personally i am not the biggest fan of the chunky form factor. They were always a bit too awkward to put in your mouth and if they sat in the fridge prior to consumption then they were quite difficult to bite through.
wow, mint kit kat blows? i thought it would be magical…
@ helle belle - you are right! i had it again and it was actually awesome. i dont know what i was thinking. maybe they changed it since i last tried it? im doing a review of it soon to fix my error:)
I’m a bit of a fan of the mint kit kat actually, so I’m not sure how much my opinion means? In any case I have to say I was a huge fan of the cookie dough and the caramel chunky just doesn’t cut it. However I do like the Chocolate Overload version in the big chocolate bar.
