What are Sweet Cinnamon Kit Kat bars?
Have a break, have a Kit Kat, have a Cinnamon Dolce Latte?
The newest flavor in the Kit Kat lineup is Sweet Cinnamon. In an attempt to coincide with the holidays and bring something new besides candy cane or chocolate mint, the gang at Hershey’s has been “spicing” things up.
Kit Kats in America aren’t as extreme as some of its international counterparts, but sweet cinnamon offers a subtle, yet enticing option that’s around for the holiday season. But does the warm spice ever really go out of season?
How are they?
The second I unwrapped the elfish-decorated minis, the fragrance wasn’t so much like opening a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but instead a bag of cinnamon marshmallows.
After the first bite, I was a bit concerned. There was neither a robust nor subtle cinnamon flavor. So, was this basically a milk chocolate Kit Kat? Not that those aren’t great, but when I expect some cinnamon, I want that delicate balance of sugar, spice, and everything nice!!
However, as I kept chewing, I eventually got a subtle and sweet flavor, almost like a particular Starbucks latte I know well.
Is there anything else you need to know?
The light, crispy wafer of a Kit Kat blends perfectly with the mild cinnamon and milk chocolate, but could you imagine if they were made with white chocolate? Think horchata.
Also, I do wish these weren’t limited time only, because they could do well any time of year.
Conclusion:
If you’re looking for a light cinnamon flavor that doesn’t overwhelm, these are for you. My facial reactions after eating these are like that of the elves on the wrappers.

I had almost the complete opposite reaction. I tasted almost zero cinnamon and this was the most disappointing cinnamon product I tasted in many years. I could barely even smell a hint of cinnamon.
Nice review!
