In the shift from spooky season to holiday cheer that happens overnight, the junk food subculture marks the equally important transition from pumpkin spice season to the winter of merri-mint. While I stock my candy cupboard with mint chocolate like Andes or York Peppermint Patties year-round, the white chocolate (or, more often, white cr\u00e8me) and peppermint concoctions of the winter season represent a flavor pairing as timeless as milk and holiday cookies.<\/p>\n
Kit Kat Peppermint Stick makes me wish these flavors were more accessible throughout the year, but if wishes were horses, we\u2019d all enjoy free sleigh rides.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Kit Kat\u2019s white cr\u00e8me base is a sweet combination of creamy vanilla and peppermint flavors. The peppermint is refreshing and noticeable, but not overwhelming. On the scale of pastel dessert mints to Life Savers Pep-O-Mint (which I cannot taste for more than three seconds without spitting them out and re-pledging my allegiance to Wint-O-Green), the minty strength lies slightly above an Andes mint. Anyone who likes mint but is wary of a toothpaste quality will welcome these Kit Kats to their holiday candy dish.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Kit Kat\u2019s pleasant creaminess does temper what could be a sharp peppermint flavor. The combination reminds me of peppermint ice cream, a milder version of the seasonal Hershey\u2019s Candy Cane Kisses, or Russell Stover\u2019s long-gone Rosebud Mints. If you still remember the latter, you may need to ask Santa for an anti-wrinkle cream this year.<\/p>\n
Like many peppermint candies, Kit Kat Peppermint Stick contains an extra flourish in the form of \u201ccrunchy candy bits,\u201d which are essentially crunchy red and green nonpareils. They add a light crunch and visual interest, but no additional flavor. I like them as an alternative to candy cane pieces; they don\u2019t detract from the light crunch of the wafers.<\/p>\n
In addition to the single-size bar, Kit Kat Peppermint Stick is available in a bag of individually wrapped snack-size pieces. Whether you are adding a festive flair to your holiday celebrations or hoarding candy under the justification that it contains peppermint oil and is therefore a useful digestive (Who would do that? Not me!), add Kit Kat to the top of your Nice List.<\/p>\n
