It\u2019s been too long since I did a proper KitKat review and many flavours have been released since my last one<\/a>. Here are the six flavours I tried out this time: Caramel, Autumn Chestnut, Sachertorte, Milk Tea, Coffee Break and Ichigo Gateau Au Chocolat. Here\u2019s what I thought of them!<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 – KitKat Mini Sachertorte
\n<\/strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00b1\u20ac9,- for a bag of 12<\/p>\n

This KitKat was unique in the way that it was packages per wafer bar, rather than per two. It definitely presents as a \u201cpremium\u201d KitKat.<\/p>\n

The KitKat smelled like dark chocolate and it definitely had that taste to it as well. It was bitter and creamy, with an initial hint of apricot as well, which seems to grow with each bite. I think this definitely captured some of the elements of a sachertorte, mainly the dark chocolate glaze and apricot filling. The actual cake layers of a sachertorte are a bit less bitter, but I think it\u2019d be hard to capture that all in one KitKat and still taste the different aspects separately somehow.<\/p>\n

I liked the flavours of this KitKat, despite not being a huge apricot fan, but it is a pretty bitter KitKat. If bitter is not your thing, I wouldn\u2019t try this one.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 – KitKat Mini Autumn Chestnut
\nPrice:<\/strong> \u00b1\u20ac9,- for a bag of 10<\/p>\n

This Kitkat had a very distinct roasted chestnut smell to it, which I could smell as soon as I opened the package. The creamy white chocolate fit in really well with the chestnut flavour, it added to it but didn\u2019t distract from the main flavour. I really liked this flavour, it wasn\u2019t overpowering but definitely present.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 – KitKat Mini Coffee Break
\n<\/strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00b1\u20ac8,- for a bag of 10<\/p>\n

A coffee KitKat for your coffee break. Although I don\u2019t like drink coffee myself, I have always enjoyed the smell of it and this KitKat definitely had a bit of a coffee smell. Coffee is also present in the flavour, but it isn\u2019t overpowering the creamy milk chocolate. I really enjoyed this KitKat and I appreciated the choice of milk chocolate to go with the hint of bitter coffee flavour.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 – KitKat Mini Ichigo Gateau Au Chocolat<\/strong>
\nPrice:<\/strong> \u00b1\u20ac9,- for a bag of 10<\/p>\n

The individual packages had several designs on them, which seemed to relate to Christmas. It was probably incorporated into the design because Christmas Cakes are often eaten around Christmas in Japan, which are often topped with strawberries.<\/p>\n

Seeing as chocolate and strawberry are two of my favourite flavours, I just had to try this one out. As soon as I opened the packaging I could smell the strawberry flavouring, as weird as that may sound. Not surprisingly, there was a clearly present strawberry flavour to it, with even a slight sourness to it. The milk chocolate didn\u2019t overpower the strawberry flavour at all, if anything it just fit really well with it. If I\u2019d have to pick a favourite, this\u2019d be it, because of the combination of the strawberry and milk chocolate flavours.<\/p>\n

Nestl\u00e9 – KitKat Mini Milk Tea
\nPrice:<\/strong> \u00b1\u20ac9,- for a bag of 10<\/p>\n

These KitKats come in many different individual packages, each with their own message on them, such as: What a lovely day, Tea time with me, Smile, Relaxing tea time, Happy!, Lucky and Tea for break.<\/p>\n

As soon as I opened the individual KitKat I noticed the tea smell. There was a clear tea flavour to it and the creamy white chocolate fit well with it. Overall this KitKat was sweet and creamy. It definitely fit the Milk Tea description. I enjoyed this KitKat, but it wasn\u2019t my favourite. This is probably because I don\u2019t enjoy tea that much either, but regardless it was nice.

Nestl\u00e9 – KitKat Mini Caramel
\nPrice:<\/strong> \u00b1\u20ac8,- for a bag of 10<\/p>\n

Immediately after opening the package I noticed a dark caramel smell. Once I bit into it did remind me of a darker caramel, it had a rich flavour and a bitterness to it. The dark chocolate probably added to this bitterness, but fit really well with the caramel flavour. I\u2019m not always a fan of caramel in general, but I did enjoy the flavour here, perhaps because it wasn\u2019t overly sweet and well-balanced because of the bitterness.<\/p>\n

\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There wasn\u2019t a flavour in this batch that I didn\u2019t enjoy, but I did like the Ichigo Gateau Au Chocolat one most.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious about these or other KitKat flavours, but don\u2019t want to buy a whole bag, there are a lot of webshops who now sell tasting packs. These usually include randomly selected flavours of Japanese KitKats, which is a fun way to try new flavours without risking being stuck with a bag full of KitKats you don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n
