To celebrate the upcoming holiday Easter, Kit Kat Japan has put together a series of Kit Kat bars that offer a unique breakfast flavor inspired by pancakes. The chocolates are rebranded to offer a unique taste that captures the essence of the fluffy breakfast cake in an unconventional candied format.
Traditionally Kit Kats are made with milk chocolate surrounding a crispy wafer, and these Easter Kit Kats slightly diverge from this main model with a unique pancake flavor. The bars are made with white chocolate for a lighter taste, as oppose to milk chocolate. The candy is infused with notes of fluffy hot cakes with sweeter vanilla aromas that capture the texture and taste of the batter.
