Advantages: Its chocolate!
Disadvantages: Its fattening!
Yet again they're mucking about my chocolate, not content with plain old 2 or 4 finger Kit Kats they had to start buggering about with them, Chunky Kit Kats, orange flavour and I'm sure there was a Mint flavour too. And if you live in Australia you can also get a chunky Kit Kat with a layer of caramel. But I've always gone back to the original. And now the inevitable has happened, they've shrunk them. Is it shrunk or shrunken, perhaps some English teacher can help? So now with have Kit Kat Kubes with an obvious attack of the Mortal Kombats! What are they? small individual cubes of Kit Kats. Usual looking packaging, blah, blah, blah! Except they now come in little bags and apparently you have to break the slab up and then shake them. Honestly how lazy are these chocolate manufacturers getting? What do you mean you don't what a Kit Kat is? Where on Earth have you been? Kit Kats are usually fingers of wafer interspersed with chocolate and the completely covered in chocolate, the Kubes are just chopped up pieces of that. I've got to say that the bags are generously filled, both the handy sized pack and the large bag (33p and £1.29 respectively). Am I going to count them? Not on your nelly! I do have more important things to do, I'm not quite a slave to this opinion business yet. I usually buy these at lunchtime, so I can happily munch them throughout the afternoon, or get the large bag and sit in front of the telly watching a good programme with a cup of coffee, they're the kind of thing that will last quite a while instead of shovelling a whole Kit Kat down your cake hole in 2 minutes! The Taste? Well I was assuming that most of you had already eaten Kit Kats and would know! Of course I suppose people are going to moan if I don't! I have to admit that I think they have a lot more chocolate then their grown up counterparts, there certainly seems to be more chocolate surroun
ding the base. I personally like ti bite them in half so I have two lots of melty chocolate in my mouth at one go! And the chocolate melts smoothly and lovingly. It is definitely a British chocolate with the vegetable oil and the lack of bitter chocolate. It is deliciously sweet but dare I say it? End up being a little sickly if you ate an entire large bag? And they are only to be given to small children if you have a very large bag of wet wipes as they melt alarmingly quick! The wafer is a very big added bonus, it makes it lovely and crunchy, I don't think wafer has any great taste anyway, but Kit Kat gets the right balance to make a great snack. Personally they are just a bit too sickly for me too eat a lot of, I'd rather have a few at a time then scoff them all at one sitting. Which is actually quite a good thing, it makes me feel like I'm being quite a piggy and eating chocolate all day when I am actually being quite restrained! They're definitely not the lowest calorie snack on the market, a 100g has 515 calories and the big bag is 175g, so do the horrendous math for yourself. Horrendous math or not these are definitely staying my lunch box! 100g contains Energy 515 Kcals Protein 5.9g Sugars 52.1g Sat Fats 27.5g Sorry there was no information about suitable for nut allergies or vegetarians.

- 03/02/04 Hmmm. I like KitKats, and Chunky KitKats, but not as much. I love these Kubes though. Got a big bowl of them on my desk at work so I can nibble during the day. Fat bloater, I know. Still, helping me stop smoking so it's all good... |
