Kit Kat Flavors

Ramen burgers and spaghetti donuts suggest that culinary masterminds have gone rogue. But there are Kit Kat flavors that prove it.

Sure, the new Blueberry Muffin Kit Kats sounds pretty tame. But there are some really out-there options that have us wondering if we’re all a part of a reality show. If you’ve ever wondered what those weird flavors actually taste like, we took it upon ourselves to taste and rank 25 different ones, from the US and Japan.

Some flavors — like Matcha — were slam dunks. Some are why we have trust issues. Very few were what we expected. And, the experience was made more interesting by the flavor names being, in some cases, entirely absent. We love surprises.

With a pack of palate cleansing saltines, too much time on our hands, and the nutritional angel on our shoulder firmly duct-taped and stowed away, we embarked on a taste test. This should save you the time, strange looks, and sugar crash that was, truthfully, totally worth it.

Below is our personal take on what we sampled, from best to worst. You can order most of them here.

 

25 Kit Kat Flavors, Ranked Best to Worst

1. Save The Blue Ocean Kit Kat

This was a mystery package without a flavor name. It was midway through the tasting and, after feeling betrayed by some of some of the lowest ranking ones, we half-expected it to taste salty and fishy. A true underdog (underfish?) story, this one came out on top.

We still don’t know what it was supposed to be, but it tasted like malted milk and was absolutely delicious. Wish we knew the name so we could find it again. But perhaps it will be our…white whale. Sea what we did there?

Available on Amazon.

 

2. Banana Caramel Kit Kat

No trace of caramel, but we loved the banana and chocolate combo. It was a little like a banana Laffy Taffy, but less overtly artificial. Of course it was still a little artificial, but in a nice way. Like using your customer service voice.
Kit Kat Flavors - Banana Caramel
Available on Amazon.

 

3. Mint and Dark Chocolate Duo Kit Kat

It’s mintier than a Thin Mint, but less minty than a Peppermint Patty. Sort of like an Andes Mint, but with a fun wafer crunch and fewer flashbacks to hotel room pillows. We’re into it.
Kit Kat Flavors - Mint and Dark Chocolate Duo
Available on Amazon.

 

4. Wheat Biscuit Kit Kat

Surprisingly good, considering it sounds like a retirement home snack time favorite. It’s nutty in the way that makes you feel sophisticated. A bit like a belVita that doesn’t waste any time fooling anyone into thinking it’s healthy. Anyone up for a rousing game of pickleball?
Kit Kat Flavors - Wheat Biscuit
Available on Amazon.

 

5. Flan Pudding Kit Kat

Straight-up delicious. Tastes exactly like flan, but nowhere near as sticky. Unless you’re eating these Kit Kats in the middle of a Nickelodeon awards show. Hope you brought enough to share.
Kit Kat Flavors - Flan
Available on Amazon.

 

6. Coffee Break Kit Kat

Based on the packaging, this doesn’t seem like the flavor name so much as the occasion for which this candy was crafted.

The coffee flavor isn’t really pronounced, but that doesn’t make it bad. It’s chocolaty, and tastes like eating a Kit Kat while sitting next to a cup of coffee. Call it the La Croix of Kit Kats.
Kit Kat Flavors - Coffee Break
Available on Amazon.

 

7. Adult Sweetness #1 Kit Kat

Yes, the wrapper really did list it as “Adult Sweetness.” We think it’s just a dark chocolate, which is apparently what adults transition to as they mature and take small bits of joy out of their lives. Or, it’s something dirty.

It’d be solidly middle ranking, but the mysterious name bumps it up a few spots.
Kit Kat Flavors - Adult Sweetness 1
Available on Amazon.

 

8. Fruity Cereal Kit Kat

We were absolutely floored by how much this tastes like Trix. It may not be the objectively best-tasting flavor, but it could win a Nobel Prize for it’s ability to transport us back to childhood. Does this mean we have to take our finals again?
Kit Kat Flavors - Fruity Cereal
Available on Amazon.

 

9. Matcha Kit Kat

It tastes like sweet matcha. We like it, because we like the powdered green tea. You will not like it if you do not like matcha. Not much more needs be said.
Kit Kat Flavors - Matcha
Available on Amazon.

 

10. Summer Ice Cream Kit Kat

A little bit like vanilla Dunkaroos, a little bit like fake birthday cake ice cream. We’d have another. And then few more.
Kit Kat Flavors - Summer Ice Cream
Available on Amazon.

 

11. Pistachio Kit Kat

Surprisingly chocolatey with surprisingly little pistachio. We expected the flavor to be in the candy coating, as was the case with the rest of the samples. But it was a dark chocolate coated number with pistachio between the layers.

It wasn’t bad, but a pistachio lover would feel robbed. That squirrel probably does, too.
Kit Kat Flavors - Pistachio
Available on Amazon.

 

12. Adult Sweetness #2 Kit Kat

Here we go again. But this time, in green! It’s pretty safe to assume that this one is matcha. Actually, this candy would probably be offended if it knew we assumed it was only matcha. It’s like if the first matcha flavor got really insecure about not being enough, and decided to overcompensate.

It’s great if you like more matcha and less sugar. But the texture is a little on the gritty side.
Kit Kat Flavors - Adult Sweetness 2
Available on Amazon.

 

13. Cheesecake Kit Kat

Similar to white chocolate, but just tangy enough to make it something different. The wafer is a nice nod to a graham cracker crust. But it did give us uncomfortable flashbacks to giant food chains with too many menu options.
Kit Kat Flavors - Cheesecake
Available on Amazon.

 

14. Maple Kit Kat

It’s definitely…maple. Like, hit-you-over-the-head maple. Like, “Oh, Canada,” wearing all denim and playing ice hockey maple.

Somebody that takes pride in their sophisticated palate would be embarrassed to admit that they enjoy these, because they taste pretty artificial. That being said, we’d get sick off of these and not really be mad at it.
Kit Kat Flavors - Maple
Available on Amazon.

 

15. Strawberry Kit Kat

This has all the flavor of a pink Starburst without all the chew. If only the strawberry Starbursts didn’t live in the shadow of the cherry.
Kit Kat Flavors - Strawberry
Available on Amazon.

 

16. Strawberry Milk Kit Kat

Strawberry’s ethereal cousin! Still pink, still tangy, but lighter and sweeter. Definitely came from a pink cow.
Kit Kat Flavors - Strawberry Milk
Available on Amazon.

 

17. Chocolate Orange Kit Kat

This one is a little too bitter and a little too aggressively orange. Kind of like someone Elon Musk might invite back onto Twitter. Uncle Mark, the world has missed you.
Kit Kat Flavors - Chocolate Orange
Available on Amazon.

 

18. White Chocolate Kit Kat

This one tastes like absolutely nothing. Not even white chocolate. It just tastes like sweetness. It’s not actively unpleasant, but it’s certainly not worth it.
Kit Kat Flavors - White Chocolate
Available on Amazon.

 

19. Strawberry and Dark Chocolate Kit Kat

This one deserves commendation…for taking the magic out of a surefire combination like chocolate and strawberry. Very sorry to say it’s a little medicinal. So, if you really like Robitussin, this one is for you.
Kit Kat Flavors - Strawberry and Dark Chocolate
Available on Amazon.

 

20. Adult Sweetness #3 Kit Kat

It’s safe to say that this adult sweetness Kit Kat flavor is solidly strawberry. But it’s…fizzy? And mealy? Did an Alka-Seltzer tablet get into the coating mixture? We do not know. We don’t want to think about it. Let’s move on.
Kit Kat Flavors - Adult Sweetness 3
Available on Amazon.

 

21. Mocha and Chocolate Kit Kat

We really wished this had tasted better, considering how unbelievably long the flavor lingered in our mouth. It tastes a bit like chewing coffee grounds. But, it’s not worse than eating durian, so that’s a win.
Kit Kat Flavors - Mocha and Chocolate
Available on Amazon.

 

22. Mango Kit Kat

This tastes like how a mango candle smells. Or, a little like a Hi-Chew, if Hi-Chews weren’t good.
Kit Kat Flavors - Mango
Available on Amazon.

 

23. Milk Tea Kit Kat

Much like our experience with real tea, we were excited by the concept, only to be disappointed by the taste. It’s giving us over-steeped tea that you spilled on the ground and tried to clean up with dish soap.
Kit Kat Flavors - Milk Tea
Available on Amazon.

 

24. Mont Blanc Kit Kat

According to the description, this features marron-flavored chocolate and a slightly-flavored rum cream. (Marron is chestnut if you weren’t sure.) And according to our parents, if we don’t have anything nice to say, we shouldn’t say anything at all.
Kit Kat Flavors - Mont Blanc
Available on Amazon.

 

25. Apple Cinnamon Kit Kat

This tastes like Claire’s perfume. Not even, “tastes like how Claire’s perfume smells.” Just straight up tastes like perfume.
Kit Kat Flavors - Apple Cinnamon
Available on Amazon.
