Everyone loves cookie dough. It’s delicious. That’s just a scientific fact. And Kit Kat Chunky? Also objectively delicious. So then Kit Kat Chunky: Cookie Dough must also be delicious. Okay, well, that was a short review — see you next week.
Wait, what’s that? It’s not delicious? Well then. I guess a bit more of a review is necessary.
The biggest problem here is the so-called cookie dough; it does a fairly abysmal job of recapturing that particular taste. If you close your eyes and really use your imagination you might be able to conjure up vague whiffs of cookie dough flavour, but mostly, it just tastes like an overly sweet, sugary paste. If this had been a blind taste test, I’m not sure that I ever would have figured out what it was supposed to be.
That’s an issue, because:
A) If I buy something that says cookie dough on the packaging, I kinda want it to taste like cookie dough. I feel like that’s not unreasonable?
B) It throws off the balance of the Kit Kat Chunky. The wafer here is reduced by about 50 percent to accommodate the layer of “cookie dough.” In a normal Kit Kat, the wafer does a great job of balancing out the bar’s sweetness, but the thinner one here is a bit overwhelmed.
The whole thing is still decent enough, but it’s clearly inferior to a regular Kit Kat Chunky in every regard. If you really need Kit Kat + cookie dough in your life, just buy a standard Kit Kat Chunky and a package of cookie dough and eat them together. Problem solved.
