I recently reviewed the Hershey Birthday Cake bar, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I thought it tasted a heck of a lot like Betty Crocker vanilla frosting, which flashed me back, Ratatouille-style, to a childhood love of Dunkaroos.
Well, Kit Kat Birthday Cake is basically that, but in Kit Kat form. I don’t know if the coating is the exact same stuff (I think the sprinkles might be a bit crunchier), but it tastes very, very similar.
I already quite enjoyed it when it was just a bar, but with the addition of Kit Kat wafers? It’s fantastic. The wafers add a satisfying crispiness and a do a great job of offsetting the intense sweetness of the frosting-esque exterior. It takes something tasty and cranks it up from good to great.
