It's great to see a new Kit Kat flavor in the UK that isn't for the Chunky range. I much prefer the regular four-finger variety and I was excited to spot this new Limited Edition Toffee Treat Kit Kat. At first I though this might be just a larger version of the Toffee Treat 2 finger variety that came out last year (available at Tesco in multipacks - see a review here), which was half toffee and half chocolate, but at you can see from my photos this Limited Edition appears to be a bit different.
Once I opened up the Toffee Treat I was greeeted with a toffee flavoured white chocolate covered Kit Kat. On the packaging the chocolate is actually described as "a blend of toffee flavor white (53%) and milk (13%) chocolates". It looks so appealing and completely different from any Kit Kat I've reviewed before. It reminds me a little of some of the awesome Kit Kat flavours from Japan.
The toffee chocolate itself is very creamy and sweet. It has a subtle caramelised sugar edge that gives it a smooth caramel like flavor. It reminds me a bit of the sugary sweet Caramac bars with their caramel flavoured chocolate (although I haven't had one of those for years so I may be wrong!), which might be a plus point for anyone who misses the Kit Kat Caramac bar of a few years ago. The whole thing, whilst very enjoyable, is extemely sweet, almost a little throat burningly so. Luckily I was sharing this bar, so I could really enjoy the few pieces I ate. I recommend having a strong cup of coffee to hand when eating one to counteract the sugariness!
