The Kit Kat


The Kit Kat, we've all heard of them and there one of the oldest, nicest chocolate bars around.
The four finger Kit Kat first came about after a worker at the Rowntree's factory in York put into the suggestion box a note that suggested, something that a "man could have in his lunch box for work".
Then in September of 1935 this fantastic chocolate bar was launched into our lives, it was not yet called the Kit Kat however, and instead called Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp.
The two finger edition of this bar was released around a year later in early may of 1936, and this is the bar that we are all now more familiar with.
The Chocolate Crisp was renamed in 1937 and was changed to the Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp and it was not until after World War 2 that this chocolate bar was just called the Kit Kat.
Now however these Kit Kats are being made world wide and are one of the worlds favourite chocolate bars. They are now made under the company Nestlé whom took over Rowntree's in 1988.
Since in the hands of Nestlé there has been many alterations of the Kit Kat being made, there has still been the original chocolate bars, but there has also been bars such as the Kit Kat fine dark, which is just a dark version of the Kit Kat. There has been the new Kit Kat chunky which is a larger chunkier version of a single version of a Kit Kat finger, which actually has quite a different taste and is quite a popular member of the Kit Kat family.
Also flavoured variations of the Kit Kat have been, Kit Kat Orange, Kit Kat mint, and Kit Kat Caramac.
This cappuccino edition is a great edition to the family, there have been a few flavours that have come and gone, they haven't all been bad, but some just weren't up to scratch and they seemed to be dropped by Nestlé and were stopped being made, I however don't think there's any worry of this happening to this flavour of Kit Kat as it already sounds like people really like the new flavour of this Kit Kat and I think this is an edition that will be made and eaten for many years to come.

First impressions of the Kit Kat cappuccino

This new edition of the Kit Kat can come in either a four stick bar or a two stick bar. I of course got the four stick bar, being the greedy person as I am, but also because I seem to get through a two stick bar too quickly and want more.
The wrapper of the four stick bar is foil wrapped for freshness, it doesn't have the paper and tin foil wrapping like the smaller Kit Kats, perhaps because its a lot bigger. The back ground of the wrapper, instead of the red colour is now a chocolate/cappuccino brown colour. However this is only on the four stick version of the chocolate bar, and on the other two stick version, the back ground of the wrapper is still the traditional red colour.
The original Kit Kat logo is still there, and is still in the traditional red and white colouring and same font too. Also the nestle symbol is still there and the same as all the other Kit Kats before it too.
There on the front of both wrappers also lies a picture of a cup of cappuccino, and me loving my cappuccino, is what tempted me into buying this.
The froth of the cappuccino looks so nice, and the Kit Kat logo has been designed to look like froth of the cappuccino is going round the out side of it, also some of the froth goes over the Kit Kat logo its self. Altogether I think this is a fantastic chocolate bar wrapper, it makes the bar look so nice, and really makes you want to buy it.

Nutrition

For a 2 bar cappuccino Kit Kat:

107 calories.
1.2g protein.
13.8g Carbohydrate.
10.2g of which is sugar.
5.6g fat.
3.8g of which is saturated.
0.2g fibre.
Trace of sodium.

For a nice snack to have after dinner or as a daily treat, this is a great bar. Its just over 100 calories is really low, especially for a chocolate bar. Now this is for the two finger edition, which is really enough however I sometimes like to be a bit greedy and go for the full 4 bar edition, which is what I did with this one, so obviously when eating the 4 finger one, just double the nutrition above, but still 200 calories for a chocolate bar is great, and especially when it's a big one like this is.

Cost of the Kit Kats

I actually bought this Kit Kat, not only because I love Kit Kats but also because I love cappuccino tasting chocolates. I'm not a huge fan of coffee as I think its usually too strong, and I don't mind the odd cappuccino drink, however its not usually something I drink and enjoy that much. I do really like coffee and cappuccino chocolates though and that's the main reason why I bought this bar.
I got this one from Tesco, and it was only 30p for the four finger edition and just £1.20 for a full 10 pack of the two finger editions. I wasn't really looking for a full pack as I would have got these seen as it works out cheaper at only 12p for a two finger bar of Kit Kat, which really is fantastic value. But even the four finger edition of this Kit Kat at only 30p is fantastic value as well. I mean most chocolate bars are at over 40p now and kit Kats with four fingers are not only cheaper, but they are also better value for money as well and are also a lot more nutritional than most other chocolate bars as well as they have wafers inside of them rather than just chocolate and other ingredients.

Eating of the Kit Kat


Well I do enjoy sitting back and relaxing with a nice cup of tea at the end of a busy day, so I really like to have a chocolate bar with this cup of tea as well.
So buying this on the way home was just a treat for the night which is why I didn't get this big pack, however next time I go ill defiantly buy a big pack of these.
So as I got home, I made my cup of tea and sat watching some rubbish on TV as I quite often do, firstly opened the packet and the first thing to hit me was the great smell this Kit Kat has.
The normal original Kit Kats have quite a nice strong smell of chocolate any way however this one has a beautiful strong smell of cappuccino and chocolate blended together when you first open it and for the duration of eating it too. The smell isn't too strong, and for people who don't really like coffee things is shouldn't put them off, however if you really hate coffee flavoured things then this perhaps isn't the best thing for you anyway.
The next thing I did was the famous Kit Kat snap, there a famous bar for their snapping sound when you break a finger off the bar, its even on the adverts for Kit Kats as well.
Taking a quite small bite at first I chewed on the lovely bar for longer than usual trying to take in the flavour and keep it there, the first flavour I tasted was initially the quite sweet cappuccino flavour, then the taste of chocolate came too, then as I swallowed the cappuccino mixed with chocolate formed a perfect blend of flavours in my mouth and left me both surprised and satisfied.
I had just taken my first bite of maybe one of my future favourite chocolate bars. Within seconds, or maybe less the first finger was gone and I was onto the second, I snapped this off, with the same nice snapping sound like the first and began eating this too. Soon all the bar was gone and instead of left wanting more I was quite full and happy with how the bar tasted too.
During the eating of the other bars the taste of the cappuccino seems to fade less and less, however this is what happened with what ever you eat, and unless the amount of cappuccino flavour within the bar got higher and higher with every bar you ate this would always be the case.
I don't think the taste is too strong even for people who don't really like the taste of coffee, and I advise this to anyone really.

Do I recommend this?


I defiantly recommend this Kit Kat, like iv already said, the taste of the coffee is not too strong for people who don't usually go for coffee or even coffee flavoured chocolates. If you've never tried coffee flavoured chocolates before then you might really be in for a treat with this bar, as it really is surprisingly nice.
When a worker at the Rowntree's factory suggested something a "man could have in his lunch box for work" I think he would be very pleased with him self for his part in the making of these fantastic chocolate bars. This is also what these are great for, especially the 2 finger bars, they are a nice sized bar ideal for someone to take to work, or for kids to take to school with them, they are also a fantastic chocolate bar to have with a cup of tea, and probably a coffee too. So if your not tried one yet, then why not?

Summary: tastes good and cheap
