The Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat is an Autumnal Treat
Thanks to Halloween, pumpkins have become emblematic of the fall, and the new Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat is yet another food to mix it up with the autumnal flavor. The miniature chocolate bars, which have been showing up on shelves in the US, are shaped like a traditional mini Kit Kats, but they're covered in orange chocolate and the wafers are surrounded in pumpkin pie-flavored cream.
Kit Kat is no stranger to odd flavor combinations. The Pumpkin Pie Kit Kat is clearly seasonal, but the iconic chocolate bar has had dozens of interesting flavor iterations around the world, many of which stand alone without any relation to a season or a holiday. Recently, Kit Kat Japan released a throat lozenge flavor, for example.
