In December of 2019, our taste buds got a bite of flavor we never want to be without. Kit Kat Mint + Dark Chocolate Duos officially hit the US, and they’re packed with all the wafer-y, chocolatey goodness we’d expect from Kit Kat. What’s better is these guys aren’t a one-time deal.
Kit Kat Mint + Dark Chocolate Duos are here permanently to revolutionize snack time. And believe us, they’re worth a try (or 10).
It’s a Perfect Pairing
The Mint + Dark Chocolate Kit Kat features a mashup of two classic flavors. A cool, 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, so it’s no surprise we fell in love with this flavor right away.

Have you heard the good news? Kit Kat Duos Mint + Dark Chocolate are available now!
We got to try it, and it was seriously love at first bite. The mint and chocolate complement each other perfectly, and you still get the classic crunch of Kit Kat without being overwhelmed by either flavor. Needless to say, Mint + Dark Chocolate Kit Kats didn’t last long around the office.
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.” We have a feeling they’re talking about Kit Kat Duos Mocha + Chocolate, don’t you?
Where to Find Your Duos
This Mint + Dark Chocolate flavor is available at retailers nationwide. You can find them at Target for less than a dollar, and Walmart is selling a deliciously tempting 24-pack for $21. This flavor is worth stocking up on, and trust us, one irresistible bite of these will have you craving more.
Still can’t get enough of that crunchy goodness? Try your hand at this Kit Kat cake!
