Yep, I’m not making this one up. A white chocolate Kit Kat with French rock salt in between the wafers. Very limited edition, I don’t think you’ll be finding many of these about nowadays, but will you even want to? Let’s find out.

Salt is a bit of an underappreciated ingredient with chocolate. I’ve only had it as a primary ingredient in a few bars, such as the Vosges Barcelona bar, and I absolutely loved it, so why it’s not used more often is beyond me. Regardless, Nestlé have decided to give it a go, and have used white chocolate instead of milk chocolate, so the bar will be a little sweeter and creamier than normal.

These didn’t come in a box but instead just in the little wrappers. They’re blue, very plain, nothing to comment on. Inside is our chocolate, and it’s just plain white. Japanese white chocolate tastes different to ours, much like their take on caramel there’s a lot more flavour to it. The salt here doesn’t come out as much as I’d like to, but it definitely counterbalances the sweetness and from time to time you get a lingering flavour of it which is quite pleasant.

Overall, it’s nice. I only got these because they sounded really interesting and were so rare, and I wouldn’t get them again. Certainly enjoyed while they lasted, but they feel like they could be better, maybe they should be done with milk chocolate next time.
