The Classic Kit Kat: A Taste of Nostalgia

I can already smell the orange as I gaze at this vintage-style wrapper. It's an old-school design that immediately brings to mind memories of childhood treats and lazy afternoons spent unwrapping candies. The chocolate looks a little darker than I expected, with a slight bitterness that actually complements the orange perfectly. This classic version is a masterclass in simplicity, with just a thin coating of chocolate on the outside and a generous helping of crunchy wafer inside.

Moving on to the cookie crumble version, we find ourselves in a world of individual wrappers made from plastic pouches rather than foil. The first one I try has a nice tart chocolate that's infused with little bits of crispy cookie, which adds a delightful textural element to the experience. As I snap into the crunchy center, I'm reminded of the classic dark chocolate bars that snap crisply between my teeth. However, unlike those bitter bars, this Kit Kat tiramisu is a revelation – its use of dark chocolate is expertly balanced by a light and airy texture that's reminiscent of affogato and cheesecake combined.

Next up is a new flavor, touted as "nut." I must admit, I was surprised to see it listed as a chocolate option, but the result is nothing short of magic. The layers of rich, velvety chocolate are beautifully balanced by a crunchy wafer center, while the bitterness of the dark chocolate provides a delightful contrast to the sweetness. It's clear that this Kit Kat has been crafted with love and care, resulting in a truly delicious treat that's both familiar and innovative.

Another new flavor, "caramel crisplets," promises to improve the lives of cocoa farmers through its unique blend of ingredients. I'm intrigued by the prospect of crunchy toffee bits adding texture to the classic Kit Kat formula. As I unwrap the bar, I'm greeted by a satisfying crunch that's tempered by a rich, caramel-flavored chocolate. However, upon closer inspection, I realize that the flavor is more of an extract than a genuinely buttery, toffee-like experience – still delicious, but not quite what I was hoping for.

As I continue my journey through the Kit Kat world, I find myself torn between nostalgia and innovation. The classic version remains a staple of childhood treats, with its simplicity and familiarity endearing it to fans of all ages. Meanwhile, the newer flavors – like "nut" and "caramel crisplets" – offer exciting new twists on a beloved formula. Whether you're in the mood for something old-school or adventurous, there's a Kit Kat out there waiting to be unwrapped and devoured.

It's just one stick and you getfour of them in one pack. Through thechocolate you can see the hazelnutcrunch. Ooh, I think I'm gonna like this one!This one looks like it's a littlebit darker than a milk chocolate --in this combination of milk and dark.And there you can see the wafer inside...there you go that is a signature ratioof chocolate to wafer that I rememberwith a kick-out bar both for the USversion and the Japanese version there'sa good side by side comparison can yousee how this has a significantly heavieramount of chocolate on the base this oneis just more of a coating and thereseems to be more of an equal balancebetween the chocolate and the waferFrench well the mint version that I hadbefore had much more chocolate which Idon't mind so this is the classic ratioof chocolate to wafer KitKat right heremm-hmmso the hazelnuts are chopped up in therereally great kind of crunchy texture andfull of hazelnutty, nutty flavor. Delicious!It's like Nutella with more of a textureso let's try this version next and thisis the 140 gram size as opposed to the170 gram so the bars are gonna benarrower as well and this is the camelburst and sea salt so immediately Inotice that this one has a perforationdown the middle as well so I think thisis going to have more chocolate similarto the first KitKat versions I've tastednow that I think about it in the UK theyhave something called KitKat chunk orchunky this looks like it's a bit of ahybrid of the classic KitKat and thatThis is definitely more gracile thanthis. Look at that!Snap it. Ooh did you see that littlecaramel pull there nice okay let's givethat a taste here we go mmmso that has an interesting texture whenyou bite into it you have a very thinlayer of chocolate and then it justgives just a really gooey caramel up topand then you go through the wafer andthen you've got a thick chocolate layerdown below so a lot going on on there Ithink I could use a little bit more saltin there because that's a very sweetcandy bar next let's try this size thisis a 35 gram bar and this is green teawe do have this flavour here in the USalthough I don't see it too often andyou definitely find this in Japan thisone you see as much as you see theoriginal love this flavor okay so thistoo is the classic proportion ofchocolate to wafer mmm that's deliciousthis has a very very good green teaflavor I was wondering if I was gonna bea little bit watered down and it's notat all it has that signature grassygreen lovely flavor of good green teajust ever so slightly bitter but this isvery heavily sweetened as well so it'sstill very much a candy bar but thewafer as well as the cream or green aswell so I believe the green tea flavorprobably is in those layers as welllet's try this and this is KitKat orangeI have had this in the chunky version Ihave to say not my favorite I don'tusually like fruit with my chocolate butlet's give this a taste anyhow and thisone is shiny and oily like the classicoh look at thisyes oh I can already smell the orangeall right I think it's a plastic cup orwrapped individually so I love the foilthat's so old-schoolso we'll remove that paperand she loved the sound of the foil ohthe chocolate looks a little bit darkerhmm I actually like that better than Iexpected because the chocolate is darkso has a slight bitterness and actuallygoes really well with the orange allright all right KitKat and in terms ofproportion of chocolate to wafer this isthe classic version just a thin coatingof chocolate on the outside and nicethick wafer in the middle let's try thecookie crumble version next these twoare individually wrapped but rather thanbeing in foil it's in this littleplastic pouch and there we area nice tart chocolate and you can seelittle bits of start cooking in there aswell oh that snaps really really crisplyand this one you can really distinctlysee that there is a chocolate layerbetween the wafers hmm so this one seemsto have a thicker layer of chocolate ontop but has a really nice snap to itjust like when you snap a good darkchocolate bar very kind of brittle crispdistinct snap this has that texture thenyou get little bits of kind of sandycookie crumbles in there as well whichare nice don't taste them so much Ithink mostly you taste the darkchocolate I thought it was gonna be verysweet and kind of cream like in themiddle like an Oreo cookie but it's notthe use of dark chocolate I think was agood choice in this one and this is anew flavor and this is Kit Kat tiramisuso tiramisu is a cake that's made withladyfingers and it's soaked withespresso and it's made with marscapone acheese delicious is a nice like lightblend of affogato and cheesecake kind oflike that and it looks like it might betwo-tone as well Oh cute look at this ohand smell the coffee alreadyooh so this is gonna be the thickchocolate as well as you can hear solet's try it with the two-tonedchocolate first it smells liketruckstop coffee right here we go hmmmm-hmmthis one is the kind of chunk versionwhere there's a thick layer of chocolatedown below so more chocolate than waferin this one this is pretty heavilyperfumed of coffee and it reminds me alot of those flavored cream wares thatyou can add to your coffee the hazelnutones or the caramel or vanilla onesit hasn't kind of extract flavor to itstill delicious but definitely taste ofan extract let's try the one that it'scovered all with milk chocolate and seeif it tastes any different hmm initiallyit doesn't it still tastes of that kindof coffee creamer but it does have moreof a chocolaty milk chocolate flavorthan the white one this one is a newflavor it says nut I'm kind of surprisedbecause it's dark chocolate you thinkthat that one would be pretty commonthat's a nice little contrast there youcan see the layers of chocolate inbetween the wafer and the very thicklayer of chocolate bump down belowmm-hmm I think I might actually likethis more than the mint I can hardlybelieve I'm saying that but this has areally nice bitterness to it this is abittersweet chocolate although it'sstill very sweetit has a nice bitterness to it almostcoffee like but it doesn't taste like aartificial coffee flavor just tasteslike dark sweetened chocolate with alight wafer crunch in the middle and itis delicious and simple love it let'stry another bagged one and this iscaramel crisplet's improve the lives of cocoa farmershmm I'd be interested to research whatthis cocoa plan is about see what thisone looks like boom again classic kickapp and you can see the little bits inthere and that's gonna be presumably thecrunch of the caramel all right look atthat oh I can see a little bit of thecaramel right in there I wonder if theseyou're gonna be like toffee bits kind oflike a heath bar let's find outMm-hmm.You can definitely feel thelittle toffee bits.And it tastes of caramel.But again the kind of caramelextract -- not so much of that buttery Heathiness....that I was hoping for.I like thecrunch of the crunchy caramel toffee bits in there,but I wish it tasted morelike the toffee. It tastes a bit of likean extract as well -- kind of flavoredrather than actually being buttery and toffee like.All right, three more to go. You can do it Emmy!Ahhh!!All right. Karissa, thank you! Another minty one -- and this is \"Mint Cream and Cookie Smash.\"These look nice and puffy. Oh yesss! Can immediately smell the mint,and it smells fine! And thechocolate is dark. That's beautiful.So it looks like there's a kind of a domedlayer on top of the wafer there.Maybe that's the mint?Ahh, that smells so good!Definitely darkchocolaty...It smells like Junior Mints -- you know thatdark chocolate, peppermint combination... okay!that's that's finethat is delicious so you get that hardsnappy crunch of the dark chocolate onthe outside a little bit bitter lots ofminty flavor but not overpower the mintyI think comparatively speaking to thefirst mint I hadn't that one was veryvery minty which I don't mind but I likethe subtlety of the mint and the darkchocolate combination in this a lotthere's a little bit of cookie texturein there as well kind of a little bit ofsand eNOS not much of a crunch but moreof a sandy texture which I like it goeswell with the wafer this tastes morerefined and considered than the firstone I like this one. Mmm. I also likeminty chocolate.So stinkin' good! Let's try this one next. And this isKit Kat Cookies and Cream. This is a milkchocolate bar. Oh look! And it has the cookiesand cream on top. Cute! And the waferinside looks to be chocolate and there'sa little bit of dark chocolate cream inbetween. Ooh, I like all the differentcolor contrast that's going on in there.I'm really surprised they actuallyreally captured the cookies and creamflavor and tastes a lot like an Oreo interms of that creamy chocolatey veryfamiliar sweetness but in a candy barokayit tastes like kind of dairy Dan milkyas well so if you like Oreo cookies andKitKat bars and this might be the onefor you a little bit too sweet for mebut I like how successful they were interms of getting all these separatelayers this is the espresso biscuit andganache this is gonna be a beefy 1/2that has a lovely coffee smell as wellbut a little bit different than thetiramisu yeah that's what it looks inprofiles you can see the distinct layersof the wafer and the cream layer andthen it's again domed and it's filledwith some kind of filling in therethat's probably espressoexcuse me listen and open a knob on thatone alright here we gohmm initially that is actually verysimilar to the tiramisu it has that kindof freeze-dried coffee flavor to it butthen it finishes better I think becauseyou have that dark chocolate that meltsin your mouth so you get some of thatbitterness that's echoed in the coffeeand in the dark chocolate so yes I likethis version better than tiramisu mm-hmmalrighty so my gut is official youbusted Karissa thank you so much forsending me all of these Kit Kats I didnot know that Canada had so manydifferent flavors of Kit Kats so thanksfor sharing that with me all righty Ihope you guys enjoyed that one I hopeyou guys learn something let me know inthe comments if there's anything you'dlike to see me taste or try share thisvideo with your friends follow me onsocial media so you know what videos arecoming up next and what giveaways I'mhosting and I shall see my next one Toodle-oo!Take care!
