Probably not the best thread to be starting as we approach January but I'm quite excited about these new Kit Kat Chunky flavours.

Once again the public will be asked to "Choose a Chunky Champion". The four new flavours are:

- Coconut
- Mint
- Choc Fudge
- Hazelnut

Kit Kat Chunky Coconut reviewed here: http://grocerygems.blogspot.co.uk/20...ut-review.html

Which flavour do you think will be most popular? I'm hoping the Coconut wins

I'm not to impressed with the choice this time. If i had to choose one, it would be the mint one!

Does this mean they are going to be replacing the winner from last time?!!

I'm sure the Mint one will be very popular, it's a classic chocolate combination, as is the Hazelnut. I like the Coconut because it's something a bit different.

Replacing it? I haven't even seen it out yet.
The winning bar last time was the Peanut Butter Kit Kat Chunky. Those are still widely available, I'm not sure if they wil be disappearing for good. The new ones are still quite hard to find but I'm sure it won't be long before they are absolutely everywhere.

It sounds like they're just flavoured chocolate on the outer rather than any flavoured filling.

Mint sounds nice though.

Exactly! You have great taste

Yes, the Mint one is also flavoured chocolate rather than having a mint filling in the wafers. The flavouring in the Mint version is quite strong so it dominates the wafer - in a good way! It was very tasty . A more detailed review:

I really should stop reading your reviews until I can find these, you're making me hungry

Definately going to try the mint and coconut, possibly the fudge..

lol it is annoying reading reviews if you can't actually find the product. Good news though - they are definitely popping up in more places. I found some today in two different newsagents, so hopefully your local stores will have some.

Do you live in Royston Vasey or something? It's available in literally every shop that sells chocolates!

Coconut will be my choice.

Can already get Mint in normal kit kats.

Is there really any point in this choose a champion though? All 3 from last time are still available?

Neither am I. Choc fudge sounds a bit sickly, I'm not overly fond of coconut, and mint & hazelnut have been done to death. Not a very creative bunch are they?

You're right about the Choc Fudge - it is VERY sweet. I am a fan of coconut though so I was happy about that being included.

I agree with the lack of creative thinking, most of the mainstream UK chocolate market is like that. There are so many other flavours available besides the usual suspects - mint, orange,hazelnut.

Not all of them are still available but two of them are so I take your point! Last time the four choices were; Peanut Butter, White Choc, Orange, Double Choc.

The Double Choc and Orange Kit Kat Chunky's disappeared (although you can still get orange regular sized Kit Kats).

The Peanut Butter was the winner and is still available everywhere - as Christian_Grey mentions above! The White Choc disappeared for a while but was released again but only as a "limited edition".

Hmmm - seems I'm the odd one, as I don't really care for coconut chocolate. Sadly I can't eat that much choccy in one go now, but I expect I'd like hazelnut best. If they really wanted to be radical they should have gone for chilli

I couldn't find the new flavours anywhere the first time round! I can't stand coconut but I'm looking forward to trying the other 3 (as a treat cos I'm meant to be eating healthily in 2013).

I've always wanted to try their Sakura Matchi version from Japan.

Coconut, hazelnut and mint all sound perfectly nice to me! Not especially exciting though.

Choc Fudge sounds nice (could be a bit sweet) as does Hazelnut, wouldnt mind if either win.
Hope they dont replace the Peanut Butter one though!
I can still get the White Chocolate Kit Kat.

My fave choc bar used to be the coconut boost. Sadly no more...

There is a "Bring Back Coconut Boost" Group on Facebook and even an online petition here with almost two thousand signatures! Online campaigning worked to bring back Vice Versas last year so you never know!

I would love them to be released again

I know they haven't hit the supermarkets yet so local shops are your best bet. Do you have a Premier Store near you? They are excellent for stocking new chocolates before anyone else. Check the online storefinder.
