Certain snacks just lend themselves to being successfully changed up in a multitude of ways without affecting what makes them great in the first place. The humble Kit Kat is a perfect example of this. At its core, it\u2019s just wafers and chocolate; classic and delicious but also beckoning to be dressed up in as many styles as you can think of. Japan knows this and has seen hundreds of variations, but things have been played a little closer to the vest here in America. In the last few years, however, the Hershey factory has gotten more adventurous, and we\u2019ve seen quite a few new takes on the \u201cGive Me a Break\u201d treat. The latest edition is Chocolate Frosted Donut, a permanent addition to the lineup.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The packaging and appearance of these Kit Kats delight me. Like the Duos flavors, this one is two-toned with a tan base and brown chocolate top, neatly mimicking its donut namesake. The smell is sweet and buttery, and while it doesn\u2019t exactly scream \u201cdonut\u201d to me, it\u2019s certainly bakery-esque. It leans a little sweeter than a standard chocolate Kit Kat and the \u201cfrosted\u201d flavor rings true. If I blindly tasted the bar, I think my guess would have been along the lines of cake and frosting, but obviously not the birthday cake flavor that already exists in Kit Kat form. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
When I picture eating a donut, the ring I see myself holding is of the yeast variety, so it\u2019s possible my expectations might have just been a bit off. Perhaps the reason these remind me of cake is because they\u2019re supposed to taste like a cake donut. Maybe instead of screaming \u201cdonut,\u201d what they were actually whispering was \u201cduh.\u201d Part of the magic of a freshly made yeast donut is in the fried factor and the airy-chewy texture, both of which would be difficult to replicate in a candy bar so heavily centered around crispy wafers. But there\u2019s nothing wrong with a cake donut, and if I ignore the fried and yeasted aspects I typically associate with donuts, I\u2019m more willing to believe these Kit Kats can call themselves donut-flavored.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Whether or not these truly taste like a donut, they are enjoyable, and I would have no problem eating them again. Unfortunately, they aren\u2019t as delicious, unique, or well-executed as the excellent Blueberry Muffin Kit Kat, so I\u2019m not sure why this one was chosen for permanent status. They\u2019re certainly worth trying and a nice change of pace, but I don\u2019t feel the need to rush out and grab a dozen.<\/p>\n
