\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

Dunkin’ Donuts<\/del> Coolattas have had a big impact on my life.<\/p>\n

I realize that\u2019s a ridiculous sentence to write, but it\u2019s true. They started me down a lifelong path of coffee addiction. I consider them my caffeine gateway drug because I hated the taste of coffee before I tried a Coolatta as a kid.<\/p>\n

Before I officially acquired the taste for less sugary \u201cadult\u201d coffee drinks, I was hooked on Coolattas and Frappuccinos in my teens.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just coffee either, every time a new Coolatta flavor came out, whether it be some kind of mocha, vanilla, or fruit concoction, I had to try ’em.<\/p>\n

So, naturally, when I heard Dunkin’ Donuts<\/del> was making a Coolatta based on one of my all-time favorite candy bars \u2013 Kit Kat \u2013 I got nostalgic and knew I had to try it ASAP.<\/p>\n

Right out of the gate I was surprised at how many bits of Kit Kat were floating in my cup. The color of the drink itself was actually a welcomed surprise too because I could tell they didn\u2019t bog it down with chocolate syrup. That was my worry. I didn\u2019t want this to just be a generic chocolate drink. I wanted to taste that distinct flavor of the chocolate mixed with the wafers.<\/p>\n

I have good news. If you\u2019ve ever wanted a liquid Kit Kat, you can now drink frozen Kit Kats. This Coolatta is legit delicious.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

It essentially tastes like milk and about 2-3 full Kit Kat sticks tossed in a blender with some ice. You get plenty of little chocolate pieces and soggy wafers (which are better than that sounds) in every slushy sip. Dunkin’ didn\u2019t skimp at all here.<\/p>\n

The consistency is something I\u2019ve always liked about Coolattas. They\u2019re not milkshakes or ice cream, and they\u2019re not Slurpees, but they somehow tap into all three. I actually prefer this to say a DQ Blizzard or a McFlurry. I\u2019m also a weirdo who heats ice cream in the microwave for 12 seconds (always 12 for some reason) so take from that what you want.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

I loved this. I\u2019m docking it a single point because the last few sips almost choked me to death as it was 75% wet candy bits. Seriously, even when I was done it looked like someone blew up a Kit Kat. There was Kit Kat shrapnel lacing the entire cup.<\/p>\n

\"Dunkin<\/p>\n

Actually, my only real complaint was the Yankees logo on the cup<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All that said, this isn\u2019t something I\u2019d recommend starting your day with. It\u2019s definitely not a threat to my typical two morning cups of \u201cjust a little half and half\u201d joe, or a cold brew, but I\u2019ll probably go back and try the other new Hershey\u2019s-flavored Coolattas at some point.<\/p>\n

Oh, and FYI, a large has over 200 grams of sugar, which is insane, but if you\u2019re in the mood for ice cream or a milkshake, this makes for a pretty damn good alternative.<\/p>\n
