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
Out of those, Chocolate fudge may well win, but I'd prefer the mint

It's quite hard to call which one will come out on top. Last time around the Peanut Butter was quite unique and an obvious winner. Mint chocolate is very popular but it might be a bit too boring to win. It will be interesting to see if the Choc Fudge can win!

Do you live in Royston Vasey or something? It's available in literally every shop that sells chocolates!
You can only buy the 'special stuff' in Royston Vasey.

Has anyone had any luck finding these yet?

I've got a review of the new Hazelnut Kit Kat Chunky and also a Roundup Review of all the flavours.

Hazelnut sounds the best if the praline filling was hazelnut.

We couldnt find the last ones anywhere but now a shop near us sells the peanut butter ones (the ones i hate!) i think i only ever managed to find one white one.

My favourite kit kats were the ones i only ever saw at school in the vending machines which were four fingered ones that were white chocolate. One was white chocolate and lemon, one was white chocolate and lime. They were the nicest chocolate ever!

We've managed to find them all today (for anyone who can get into Solihull, that offy/newsagent by the 37 bus stop across from Touchwood has them all in stock)

We shared a mint one - lovely but nothing unusual - and a coconut one which was pretty blah. I love coconut so maybe I was expecting too much of it but I won't get another. Mr C has also tried his half of the fudge and declared it far too sweet.

I don't remember white choc with lemon or lime Kit Kats. They sound amazing though! I wish they would make those flavours again rather than the usual mint or orange - boring.

Good stuff - they are definitely getting easier to find then. Most of the newsagents near me seem to have at least a few of the choices. It's a shame you didn't like the coconut one, but not surprising, it's been made more for the mainstream market rather than us coconut fans.

I don't remember them. Exactly how far back are we talking?

There are actually 5 new ones as I've just bought them all from the corner shop. 69p each.
The other one is Hazlenut Cream - although looking at it, that doesn't say Choose a Chunky Champion on it like the other 4, so maybe these have been out for ages and I just haven't noticed.

Bang goes the diet then!!

although in my defence I got the mint one for my son....

I love hazelnut anything so that's my choice!
Ditto! After that fudge for me. I hate mint flavour/flavoured things. I'd buy the coconut too btw.

I bought the Hazelnut and Choc Fudge ones from my local corner shop, very nice
There was also a "Hazelnut Cream" one, maybe thats European (?) That tasted similar to the Hazelnut one TBH.

Feeling a bit left out here as I still cannot find the things anywhere, maybe they are not available 'up north' yet?

Not sure I am brave enough for that one!

The Hazelnut Cream (green wrapper) has been around for awhile, it's actually made in Bulgaria so it's nothing to do with the current UK releases. It's weird because it means there are two Hazelnut Kit Kats around at the same time, although the green ones can be hard to find.

There is also a Caramel Kit Kat Chunky (yellow wrapper) from the same Bulgarian range which is still around.

I'm the south yorkshire area. I found a shop selling the Choc fudge one but still no sign of the others.

I thought the Kit Kat Chunky Caramel (which I quite liked) was still part of the UK line, maybe not
I wish they did a 4 finger Kit Kat Chunky, or a proper Orange one (not only with orange chocolate but orange cream in the middle too

Interesting! I made a book up on this (just for fun) and if you fancy a free fun only bet on this, then click on the link below (if I am allowed to post it!)

Current betting odds.

Choc. Fudge - 1/1

Mint - 5/2

Coconut - 7/2

Hazelnut - 6/1

Good luck!

Funny you should say that, but I have to agree with you there. I do like sweet things, but this was FAR too sweet.

Had the coconut, taste sensation.

I think it could win, coconut yoghurts seem very popular, when Muller Light had them as limited edition, I couldn't get one anywhere, always tons of empty boxes in Asda/Morrisons, even now they aren't special edition, I rarely manage to find any left in Asda.
Coconut M&Ms are always popular with people i know who have travelled to America or from the American sweet shops, I reckon it can pinch it!

I would like to think coconut will win as it is the best one I have tried so far. I don't fancy mint & have yet to try Hazelnut.

I tried the coconut one and didn't find it 'coconutty' enough. It could do with a layer of coconut cream in the middle. The coconut flavour only comes from the outer chocolate.

I've tried the choc fudge one and preferred it - that one had a layer of choc fudge in the middle.
Very nice. I'd have one again.
