Kit Kat Senses

Once again, chocolate candy manufacturers, in this case Nestle, try to bring the public a lower calorie alternative, while at the same time letting their customers enjoy their favorite candy. Enter Kit Kat Senses, a 170 calorie treat meant to not only give you the taste of Kit Kat but includes a layer of hazelnut filling. Clearly marketed towards women, just check out the Kit Kat Senses site to confirm this, but is it as good as the original? Should you just forgo the 40 calories and get a regular Kit Kat or break down and envelope your senses with a little hazelnut?

It’s a UK product, but I picked this up in Canada, so next time you’re visiting our neighbors to the North, be sure to poke around their drugstore aisles.

Packaging

It looks light and sure enough right there on the package is the claim of 170 calories for eating the entire bar. The sense this is invoking is fluffy and bright.

Appearance

It’s a little strange with the block like structure, it makes me want to break them apart and build something like I would with Legos. The sense this is invoking is architecture!

Appearance Inside

There’s definitely the layers of wafers just like a regular Kit Kat, but sure enough there right on top is a nice dollop of hazelnut creme filling.

Smell

The light milk chocolate is faint and smells a little fake, but there’s a nice wafer-cookie like scent that mixes well with the hazelnut.

Taste

The milk chocolate is not as good as the original Kit Kat, the wafer part is just the same, but the hazelnut filling gives it a nice extra kick, that makes it almost not a Kit Kat because there’s so much. There’s a great crispy crunch but it’s definitely not as dense as the original Kit Kat.

So was it as good as the original? Not if you’re a genuine Kit Kat fan, as in you would name the Kit Kat as one of your favorite chocolate candies, but if you’re a fair weather Kit Kat eater, you’ll like the Kit Kat Senses bar.

The Kit Kat Senses Ladies.

I’m not even going to ask what sense this might be invoking.
