Vanilla-Flavored Candy Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Kit Kat Vanilla is a Now a Permanent Kit Kat Flavor

— September 21, 2024 — Lifestyle
While Kit Kat is known for churning out lots of exciting limited-time flavors, the brand is now adding a permanent new addition to its lineup: Kit Kat Vanilla.

The new Kit Kat Vanilla Candy Bar is described as anything but ordinary. As the product description reads: the "Kit Kat Vanilla Flavored Candy Bar offers rich vanilla flavored creme that perfectly complements the layers of classic crispy wafers. One taste of this sweet treat will turn your break into anything but basic."

With vanilla still among the most popular flavors out there (and the number one ice cream flavor in the U.S.), it's no surprise that this flavor will be a permanent addition to the Kit Kat lineup.

Kit Kat Vanilla is now available in standard and king sizes.
