Kit Kat Has Revealed a Stunning New Mint + Dark Chocolate Bar

The rumors are true: Kit Kat Duos Mint + Dark Chocolate is finally coming to the US! But there’s good news and bad news. The good news? This is not a limited release. It’s the first new permanent flavor to be introduced in the US in nearly a decade. The bad news? You’ll have to wait until December to try it.

Here’s what you need to know right now:

It’s a Perfect Pairing

The Mint + Dark Chocolate Kit Kat will feature a mashup of two classic flavors. It features a mint crème on the top, irresistible dark chocolate on the bottom and the original crispy wafers you know and love in the middle. We’re already huge fans of chocolate and mint desserts and can’t wait to try this one, too.

What’s Next?

Kit Kat is known around the world for its out-of-the-box flavors. Especially over in Japan, the brand has launched some unusual but tasty-sounding treats. Baked Potato. Green Tea. Wasabi. Mango. Tiramisu. Just to name a few!

Mint + Dark Chocolate is the first new full-time flavor in the US in nearly 10 years, but Kit Kat has hinted that there could be more coming soon. “Here’s the best part—we are just getting started,” a brand rep shared in a statement. “Keep your eyes peeled; there is more to come.”

Save the Date!

This new Mint + Dark Chocolate flavor won’t be available until December 2019, so mark you calendars! For now, we’ll be on the lookout for the XL Kit Kats.
