What is Kit Kat Duos Mocha + Chocolate?
After last year’s introduction of Mint + Dark Chocolate, Kit Kat Duos are back with a second flavor, Mocha + Chocolate. It’s described as crisp wafers in mocha crème with coffee bits and chocolate.
How is it?
A small disclaimer that I do love, love, love coffee. Like I can’t function in the morning without a large cup to get me going. Then maybe I’ll have another to counteract the mid-day slump. Sometimes one more is calling my name so I can finish out the day. A late-stage one…you get the point!
I did enjoy the first Kit Kat Duos, but I would take coffee over mint any day of the week, so I was pumped for these. That being said and with my high tolerance/love for all things coffee, holy crap, these are fantastic.
The name Mocha + Chocolate is actually doing a disservice to these because the coffee flavor is so superb and way more prevalent than you would expect from the name. Of course, the chocolate is there, but these are coffee flavored through and through, and the flavor is so intense it could probably even be called Espresso + Chocolate. The profile actually comes remarkably close to actual chocolate-covered coffee beans in all their glory. WOW.
The crisp wafers have the usual great Kit Kat crunch, and even though I was excited about the coffee bits and thought they might provide a different level of crunch or texture, that’s not really the case as they pretty much get lost among the signature wafers. However, they might be the main factor contributing to the amazing flavor, and they do give the tops of the bars a nice speckled look.
Anything else you need to know?
The ingredients list does show coffee, so heads up if you stay away from that glorious but addictive stimulant. These are also a permanent addition to the Kit Kat lineup, so you don’t have to rush out now to find them if you really want to try them.
Conclusion:
A behind the scenes secret is that I usually like to have at least two packages of something when I review it so I can take great pictures with one and thoroughly enjoy the other.
I have a confession, though.
These Kit Kat Duos were the first time I almost cleaned myself out of the product before my official reviewing even began! I had to hit up Walgreens again so I could get a few more while simultaneously praying that they were still in stock and that the masses hadn’t discovered these treasures. That’s how much I enjoyed these. They are Kit Kat’s version of chocolate-covered coffee beans and pretty much crispy chocolatey coffee heaven.

Nice! Excited to seek these out! And am I remember incorrectly, or didn’t Kit Kat do a coffee or latte flavour of some sort a while back?
Remembering*
looking forward to trying these. i enjoyed the mint duos much more than i thought i would but two other coffee-flavoured snacks i’ve tried this year were disappointing so i didn’t want to get my hopes up about these.
i’m excited again, thanks!
They listened to me! 🙂
I’m going to go out and buy a case.
Maybe you can convince them to do a caramel macchiato next!
Anyone have information about how much caffeine is in these?
when will kit kat do an official u.s. version of a chocolate/peanut butter or salted peanut butter kit kat duo type? i know they do have something overseas like it
Mmm, salted peanut butter duo sounds great.
People who actually like the way coffee tastes are not to be trusted, IMHO. I’ll leave you to your nastiness.
Totally agree with you about these mocha kit kat! Finally, there’s a REALLY good candy bar here in USA
