Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, wafer tastes nice.

Disadvantages: Synthetic tasting,

Nestle Kit Kat biscuits have been around for ever. Well that is what it seems like to me. I can remember them in the 1950's, I think, so that is forever as far as I am concerned. It is worth mentioning here though that they used to be made by Rowntrees of York, before that company's sad decline into oblivion. Their advertising has always centred around have a break have a Kit Kat but unfortunately they have just become a little boring. I suppose the wealth of snack foods available these days has not helped. So, in an attempt to recapture a dwindling sales market, I presume, we have started to see many different varieties of KIT Kat going on sale. There are now mint, orange and white chocolate varieties.

A couple of weeks ago I came across Kit Kat Cappuccino on special and decided to give them a try. A multi-pack of ten two finger bars was on sale at 99p, providing you bought two packs. So £1.98 for twenty snack bars, which I did not think was bad.

These Cappuccino Kit Kats had the usual wrapping of a red outer wrapper and an inner one of silver foil. There is a rather horrible looking cup of Cappuccino represented on the wrappers. It looks most unappetising to me.

Now the one overriding thing about these Kit Kats is the smell. As soon as you open the outer wrapper a strong smell of coffee assaults your nostrils. By the time you open an individual Kit Kat the smell is overpowering. I am not a huge coffee lover so I suppose to some this smell may be lovely but to me it did not. Still I persevered and snapped the Kit Kat in half and set about eating it. I have to say that overall these Kit Kats aren't bad. You can definitely taste coffee but not too much. I think the coffee flavour is in the chocolate and not the wafer inside.

Each two finger Kit Kat has 107 calories which is fine for a snack, but they are fairly high in the fat content stakes. Looking at the ingredients there is nothing mentioned which actually resembles coffee and so I can only conclude that the E number and flavouring provide this. This is not really very good. I guess this is why they taste a little synthetic.

RECOMMENDATION?

Well they were good value and provided an easy, convenient and quick snack. However overall I should not think that I will buy them again, unless they are on an extremely good offer, of course.

Thanks for reading
