Go Out and Try the New Churro Kit Kat

Yesterday while running errands my kids and I decided to treat ourselves to a snack. Since we were at a store I let them get candy. I figured I would indulge as well. I do not eat candy as much as I used to, so anytime I get it, it is a nice little treat. I don't go all out anymore either. No king size bars all that often, no Skittles or Starburst, no full packs of licorice. It is usually a small bag of some kind of gummy candy or a regular sized candy bar. Yesterday I went the candy bar route.

I have always enjoyed a KitKat. They feel almost healthy. I know they aren't, but let me hold on to that feeling. Don't judge me. I am the biggest fan of the original milk chocolate and wafer ones. But I do like to try some of the other flavors they've been cooking in their labs. I love the dark chocolate and mint one they have now. I also really like the plain dark chocolate. The dark chocolate and strawberry is a rare miss for me though. I'll eat it, but it would most likely be my last choice. I really want to try the ones from Japan that I've heard about. They have some interesting, and delicious sounding flavors. The white chocolate Kit Kat is fine, but it is too reminiscent of the white chocolate peanut butter cup. Those feel unnecessary. They perfected it with milk chocolate. The thins are good, but dangerous. I could plow through a whole bag without a second thought. Yesterday at Five Below they had a flavor I had not seen yet, so I kind of knew right away that was going to be my treat for the day. The flavor was churro.

I love a good churro. I still kick myself that I didn't get one while in Disney World last year. I hear they are dynamite there, but I opted for Dole Whip instead. I have had plenty of churros in my day. And when they are done well, you can taste it. The churro Kit Kat really nailed it here. I felt like I was having an actual churro with a chocolate coating. It was sugary and had cinnamon and the chocolate tasted like the icing you can dip them in if offered. I devoured this candy bar and I kept thinking about it the rest of the day. I felt like Homer when he ate that Yodel on "The Simpsons". It was so good that I do wish I was eating it right now. I think this is the best Kit Kat has to offer with their seasonal flavors. This one is much better than the white chocolate and dark and strawberry ones. This one exceeds the plain dark chocolate. The churro flavor's only real competition is the dark and mint, but I like the churro better. It gives me everything I love about a churro but in KitKat form. The dark and mint is still very, very good, but it doesn't fulfill, for me, what a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie does. It comes close, but it isn't there yet. The churro is there already.

I hope they keep this new flavor around. I would love to indulge in this more than once. Go out and try one. They are very good. I assure you.
