Kit Kat Senses is clearly Nestle’s take on the Kinder Bueno: it looks pretty similar, and is made up of essentially the same elements (creamy hazelnut filling, crispy wafer and milk chocolate). I like Bueno and I like Kit Kat, so combining the two seemed like a sure thing.
The first thing I noticed was that this bar has a very pleasant, hazelnutty aroma. So, score one for Kit Kat Senses. Actually eating the bar, however, it became less of a clear winner. It’s quite different from a Kinder Bueno, though obviously you can’t really hold that against it. The hazelnut filling is much more dense, and much less smooth and creamy. It’s kind of peanut buttery in consistency, which certainly isn’t a bad thing. However, it’s really sweet and doesn’t really have the strong hazelnut taste that you might expect. That, combined with the very sweet milk chocolate and the sweet wafer, results in a bar which is kind of overwhelmed by sweetness.
It’s not bad. I guess I might buy it again if I have a craving for that sort of thing and Kinder Bueno isn’t available. But between those two candy bars, Bueno is the definite winner.
