All this week I have been reviewing the new Kit Kat Chunky Choose A Champion 2013 additions. In this post you'll find a brief recap of each review and a link to the longer review if you want more! Once again the public will be asked to "Choose a Chunky Champion". The four new flavours for 2013 are: CHOC FUDGE, HAZELNUT, MINT, COCONUT.
GROCERY GEMS RATING: 7.5 OUT OF 10
The Choc Fudge Kit Kat has a thick layer of rich chocolate fudge added inside the bar, just above the wafer. Although it doesn't sound very exciting the fudge is delicious with an almost butterscotch flavour to it - it's certainly a more grown up fudge flavour than I was expecting. The chocolate fudge is substantial enough to hold it's own against the wafer layer and thick chocolate coating. Read my full review here.
GROCERY GEMS RATING: 6.5 OUT OF 10
The Kit Kat Hazelnut also has a separate layer within the bar. This "hazelnut cream" has an unmistakeably hazelnut flavour, but it has been
mixed with a fudgey creamy concoction. The
hazelnut flavour is strong and does succeed in dominating the wafer and
chocolate, but I would have preferred a chocolate based hazelnut flavour instead. The sugary
nature of the hazelnut layer was far too sweet for me. Read my full review here.
GROCERY GEMS RATING: 7 OUT OF 10
Unlike the previous two bars there is no separate layer in this Kit Kat Chunky Mint. The mint flavour is all in the outer chocolate and it certainly packs a minty punch.
At first it tasted of a very sweet mint but once the chocolate flavour
ebbed away there is a lingering fresh mint edge. It's full of minty flavour and I expect it will be a big hit with fans of mint chocolate. Read my full review here.
AND MY KIT KAT CHUNKY CHAMPION 2013 IS:
GROCERY GEMS RATING: 8.5 OUT OF 10
Not only is this the most original flavour of the bunch it was also my overall favourite. Again, there is no separate layer inside, all the coconut flavour is in the outer chocolate and it's a gorgeous combination. The coconut is sweet and quite subtle but is still strong enough to satisfy coconut
lovers. As I'm a fan of coconut, I would have liked an additional layer of coconut cream
in between the wafers. Despite this, the coconut flavour in the chocolate
does hold it's own well against the wafer layers. Read my full review here.

ReplyDeletelol that's the reaction I had when I first heard about the Coconut :D
DeleteThey are available now but so far only in local newsagents or Premier Stores. Kit Kat say they will be available everywhere in the next few weeks. Try your local shops first - good luck and let me know what you think of them!
I'm coconut freak and I saw them on facebook fan page but I didn't seen them in shop. I need to try coconut one!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see another coconut fan here! These Kit Kats are quite hard to find at the moment but they should be more widely available soon. Good luck :D
