I am surprised no one has mentioned Tim-Tams. They are chocolate biscuits generously coated with chocolate (milk or dark), from Australia. If you really want a presentable biscuit to offer with tea or coffee, Tim-Tams are unbeatable. I always bring them overseas with me and everyone adores them. I abominate Hersheys about as much as most people on this forum: it is NOT proper chocolate by any stretch. There are evidently plenty of decent chocolate brands all over the world, and Hersheys should just fade into the uncool, particularly because they got the rules rewritten to accommodate their godawful ersatz chocolate recipe.

There’s a whole thread on Kit Kats here - https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/japa...-kit-kats.html We’d need an entire separate thread to discuss cookies and biscuits with chocolate or chocolate flavoured toppings and coatings. |

That’s because this thread went wildly off topic about 7 posts ago.

The mint/dark chocolate must have been a success since they're adding a mocha/chocolate to the Duo line.
I saw Apple Pie Kit Kat while I was sleep-surfing the net, but not for purchase. You mentioned Wilbur Buds upthread and if you've stopped at Lititz, PA, on a drive through Pennsylvania Dutch Country, you'll recall the aroma of chocolate in the air, all over town. Missing the last time we were there, I guess due to factory closing. Hope it's returned, as i read there was something of a renaissance happening. I think the Buds pre-date Hershey Kisses, but not certain. Apple Pie...tried it, not a fan. Even with the white chocolate coating, there's something about the flavor/texture combo that doesn't work but I can't quite put my finger on it. Birthday Cake...tried it and it wasn't bad, but not impressive either. |

Mint/dark chocolate Kit-Kat ROCKS! I would recommend that anyone who's a fan of either Thin Mints (Girl Scout Cookies) or Andes Mints try these.

I could definitely see it not being popular with those that like milk but not dark chocolate. These, Thin Mints, and Andes wafers are the three exceptions to an almost phobic avoidance of mint anything for me.
I tried the birthday cake Kit Kat today, and it was fine, but nothing special. Not worth the calories. |
I liked the lemon kit kats I bought around Easter.

Moderator's note:
Topic check! :D Let's keep the discussion focused on discussion of Hershey's chocolate, please :) Posts about cookies/biscuits/KitKats/vegemite/et al can find a home in another thread dedicated to those. Thanks! cblaisd, Co-Moderator, Dining Buzz |
