The KitKat Team has unveiled two new decadent dark chocolate flavours, with the KitKat Dark Tasmanian Mint and KitKat Dark Southern Australian Orange.

“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,” said Joyce Tan, Nestlé’s Head of Marketing Confectionery.Joyce adds that the new flavours aim to take “KitKat and dark chocolate lovers on a journey of discovery“, and to also explore 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,” Joyce said.
