\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

There are two things that strike me as odd about these new Red Velvet Kit Kat bars.<\/p>\n

The first is that they are white, without a hint of red, even though red is literally in their name. I guess red velvet has moved beyond being associated with Valentine\u2019s Day for its color, and now it\u2019s the flavor that\u2019s iconic. I\u2019m fine with that, especially since in this case it means there\u2019s no artificial coloring. <\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

The second thing is that red velvet is even a flavor for this and other candies. I\u2019ve had many red velvet cakes and cupcakes, but I still don\u2019t know what its flavor is. I mean, I know it\u2019s a cake made with buttermilk and a small amount of cocoa, but what does that even taste like? And how can it come across in an item that doesn\u2019t list buttermilk in its ingredients?<\/p>\n

But when I open up the fragrant bag, and look at the pale coating, I get it:<\/p>\n

Red velvet cakes are always topped with cream cheese frosting. And these are not really Red Velvet Kit Kats, but rather Cream Cheese Frosting Kit Kats. I think it\u2019s pretty self-explanatory why they didn\u2019t call them that. <\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

The bag smells strongly of cream cheese. The inside of the bars is just the same as Milk Chocolate Kit Kats, but the outside coating is definitely reminiscent of cream cheese, even though there\u2019s no cheese in the ingredients. I actually expected it to taste a lot more fake than it does. But it\u2019s also kind of off-putting at first. A cheesy tang is not what I anticipate when I eat Kit Kats.<\/p>\n

You know what? I wasn\u2019t really a fan of these at first. But as I\u2019ve eaten more, I\u2019ve come to enjoy them. Initially I liked them less than regular Kit Kats, but now I don\u2019t think they\u2019re worse than the regular ones. They’re just different. These are more flavorful than plain ol\u2019 Milk Chocolate Kit Kats, for better or for worse. I love cream cheese frosting, but if that\u2019s not your thing, you probably won\u2019t like Red Velvet Kit Kats.<\/p>\n

I was going to rate these six, but I\u2019m giving them a seven. They\u2019ve grown on me.<\/p>\n
