Gimme a Break!

I am not much of a chocolate person - (I prefer to get my bad calories from cheeseburgers), but one exception I make is the Kit-Kat bar. The Kit-Kat is hands down my favorite candy bar.

So I was intrigued the other day when some friends came over and left a strange-looking one on my kitchen counter. Instead of the normal red wrapper, it had a creamy brown colored wrapper. Turns out it was one of the new "Limited Edition" Chocolate Mocha flavored Kit-Kats.

I was doubtful that anybody could improve on what I consider to be the perfect candy bar, but I was anxious to try it. Opening the wrapper, I was immediately hit with a very strong coffe smell. Not the good kind of coffe smell when you have fresh-brewed coffee in the morning, but more like the kind of smell that my car had (and still does) about a week after the McDonalds Coffee Incident

Despite the warnings my nose was giving me, I proceeded to break off a small piece and put it in my mouth. As many of you know, I will eat just about anything, so I was not to be deterred by a cofee smelling candy bar. So anyway, as I put it in my mouth, my taste buds revolted. Ugh, man - it was the most vile thing I have tasted in a very long time. I would put it right up there with the "smart dogs" Veggie Dog incident or possibly even the Cream of Mushroom SOAP incident. At any rate, like those other two incidents I was unable to even finish my bite let alone finish the candy bar. I spit it out as fast as I could. Do NOT try this candy bar.

I don't understand why they spend so much money trying to improve things that are already perfect-KitKat bars, Almond Joys, M&M's, Hershey kisses...Maybe the chocolate researchers should take a loooong vacation.

Almond joys are not perfect. In fact, they are not even good.

White chocolate M&Ms are even worse. I think they made them just make plain M&Ms taste better by comparison.

I never would have tried either white chocolate or dark chocolate. The milk chocolate ones are about as close to perfection as you can get. Now if they came out with different kinds of nuts instead of peanuts I might give those a try - like maybe cashew M&Ms or Almond M&Ms.....
