The key to crossing over two different treats is to make sure that the original version of both treats is represented. More often than not, one treat really dominates over the other. In most cases I find that the treat that dominates is the first treat mentioned in the name. This bar did that, but it was a lot closer than I was expecting. I feel like it would be impossible to perfectly balance out the qualities of these two treats without part of it being frozen. The cool (pun intended) thing is the folks at Nestle did a pretty good job at representing both.

When you bite into this bar it kind of tastes like a Kit Kat, but also kind of tastes like a (melted) Drumstick as well. I use the words “kind of” on purpose, and this is where this bar faulted a bit. While I certainly got hints of both treats, it really didn’t feel like any one of those treats either. This bar hints at the taste and texture of a Kit Kat bar, but it’s missing many of the wafers, a big component of a Kit Kat bar. It also kind of tastes like a Drumstick, but it’s not frozen and it doesn’t have any peanuts.

It’s as if this bar is a good attempt at a combination of these bars, but almost fails because it’s not really like either of them at the same time. It’s as if they made a new kind of bar when combining these ingredients. Honestly I don’t really know how I feel about this bar. It’s a new treat, but has remnants of two older treats. This bar might be proof of the theory of evolution. Two treats combined and made something different, but you can kind of see how the orginal two treats made up the final.

I think in the end I like this bar. It’s a new treat that might wear the Drumstick and Kit Kat name, but it’s also unique. It also tasted pretty good and had a nice wafer crunch.
