This might be the most visually stunning Kit Kat bar ever made. I’ve sampled a few Kit Kat bars that have attempted to have patterns on the top, but none have worked as well as this one. In fact I can’t think of one that’s even worked slightly well. The problem with this impressive orange and red pattern on the top of this Kit Kat is now I’m going to expect more interesting designs on Kit Kat bars in the future. I might even start looking at the tops of the regular Kit Kat bars and wonder why they’re not making them all beautiful too.

The thing about beautiful bars is that it’s a complete waste of time if the bar doesn’t hold up in the taste and texture category as well. Texture wise this bar was totally up to the Kit Kat standard, the chocolate is smooth and the wafers crunchy. Flavour wise I have to admit that I didn’t love it. It’s orange flavoured chocolate, which was actually subtly hinted at by the tiny little orange in the word “golden” on the package. I’m not a huge fan of orange flavoured chocolate. For me to enjoy it, the orange and chocolate have to blend perfectly. In this case it was a little too orange forward. It wasn’t insanely overpowering, but a lot of the cocoa flavour was lost.

I would call this bar a success. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the orange flavour, the look of this bar really impressed me. Fortunately the orange wasn’t devastatingly overpowering, but unless your big on orange chocolate you might not love this. I did however enjoy looking at this bar, long enough that it started to melt in my fingers a bit before I ate it.
