The KitKat team from Nestlé has unveiled two new decadent dark chocolate flavours – KitKat Dark Tasmanian Mint and KitKat Dark Southern Australian Orange.

Created using distinct ingredients from two Australian regions famed for their local produce, the new blocks blend unique local flavours with delicious dark chocolate. The result, contrasting swirls of flavour you can see, are set to excite chocolate-lovers and take fans on an indulgent experience from the comfort of their own home.

The two new flavours feature the iconic KitKat crisp wafer fingers topped with swirls of rich dark chocolate.KitKat Dark Tasmanian Mint boasts a refreshing mint choc using oil from the mint plant, grown in the stunning state of Tasmania. KitKat Dark Southern Australian Orange features orange choc using oil from blood oranges grown in the lush South Australian Riverland and Sunraysia region.

Nestlé Head of Marketing Confectionery Joyce Tan said: “Dark chocolate is synonymous with moments of everyday indulgence, and as Aussies increasingly spend more time at home, we’re seeing that they want to elevate their evenings with moments of decadence. So, we’re excited to take KitKat and dark chocolate lovers on a journey of discovery, exploring the provenance of Tasmania and Southern Australia with these new flavour pairings.

“Using quality ingredients from our own backyard, the new flavours add intrigue to our well-loved dark chocolate range as an indulgent and stimulating chocolate treat.”

KitKat Dark Tasmanian Mint and KitKat Dark Southern Australian Orange are now available in 170g blocks from all major supermarkets for RRP $5.00.
