While Taco Bell has always put its own spin on traditional Mexican dishes, now the UK arm of the chain is upping the ante by turning a popular entree into a dessert called the Chocodilla made with Kit Kat. For those who prefer sweet over savory, the hybrid dish provides an indulgent new way to enjoy a quesadilla.
The new Chocodilla made with Kit Kat is an updated version of the chain's existing Chocodilla. However, instead of a grilled flour tortilla filled with melted chocolate chips, the new version features crispy Kit Kat wafers in the center. The addition of the candy bar adds a new texture and and extra dose of chocolate to the indulgent hybrid dessert.
Currently available with any combo purchase, the new Chocodilla made with Kit Kat helps to expand Taco Bell's existing dessert menu.
