What are Raspberry + Cr\u00e8me Kit Kat bars?<\/h3>\n

In time for Valentine’s Day, Kit Kat hopes to woo you with its newest limited edition flavor, featuring a festive pink-tinted raspberry cr\u00e8me enrobing its signature crisp wafers.<\/p>\n

How are they?<\/h3>\n

\"Kit<\/p>\n

Have you ever ventured into a circumstance thinking only of all of the things that could go wrong – only to be pleasantly surprised when all of your fears are unfounded? This describes my experience trying Raspberry + Cr\u00e8me Kit Kats, which, with their coating as pink as Cupid’s blushing cheeks, I worried would be a case of style over substance.<\/p>\n

Upon opening the bag, I was greeted by a strong, worrying artificial scent \u2014 think fruit-scented lip balm \u2014 that I do not normally associate with edible things. Luckily, however, the scent was not an accurate predictor of the tastes to come. <\/p>\n

\"Kit<\/p>\n

Upon first bite, I tasted a pleasant fruity sweetness that mimicked raspberry flavor well, without any of the acid or tartness. As I chewed, the coating’s cr\u00e8me component worked to mellow the bar’s sweetness rather than add to it. While cr\u00e8me or white chocolate can often be cloying, this Kit Kat’s coating was smooth and creamy in both flavor and texture, which paired well with the light, crispy wafers we all know and love. The result was a surprisingly subtle and wholly satisfying balance of flavors. <\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

“Once bitten, twice shy” doesn’t just apply to bad relationships. My last encounter with fruit-flavored Kit Kats was with its Strawberry flavor in cr\u00e8me coating, which to me tasted too artificial, somehow both too sweet and too sour. <\/p>\n

When I chanced upon Raspberry + Cr\u00e8me Kit Kats, I remembered the Strawberry variety<\/a> and wished Hershey’s had paired raspberry with milk or dark chocolate instead. While I still think raspberry and traditional chocolate would be a delicious pairing appropriate for a Valentine’s Day-inspired flavor, I was not disappointed with this year’s offering. Kit Kat got berries and cream right this time. <\/p>\n

If you disliked the Strawberry Cr\u00e8me product or, like many junk food aficionados, are lamenting the loss of seasonal Red Velvet Kit Kats, Raspberry + Cr\u00e8me Kit Kats may be the rebound you need.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Pretty in pink and tasty too, Raspberry + Cr\u00e8me Kit Kats are worth trying, whether you choose to share with someone special or keep them all to yourself. <\/p>\n
