Anger and KitKats

Recently, Mrs. P. and I had rather bad days. We both, however, handled it rather differently. On the one hand, I expressed my displeasure with the HMRC by ranting incoherently and frothing uncontrollably at the mouth. On the other, Mrs. P. attempted to bottom out her anger with work related issues by purchasing these in preparation of a vicious and diabolically cruel taste comparison:

I think you can guess who managed a Zen like calm more quickly.

To make it more interesting, we decided on a blind tasting - each bar was de-robed, cut into thirds and eaten independently.

Coconut
A bit of a nothing really - so mistakable that both of us thought this was actually the Hazelnut bar - until we found that one later.

Choco Fudge
OK - quite thick and cloying. Neither of us thought this was up to much. The fudge was clearly chocolaty but didn't add much more than a standard KitKat chunky.

Hazelnut
Very strong with the nut flavour. This wasn't bad. Everyone loves a bit of Nutella and this is the closest we have to Nutella in chocolate bar form.

Mint
Undeniably the best of the bunch. The mint was present yet not too strong and the chocolate was a little darker than it's novelty brethren. Unanimously our preferred flavour of the four.

So, there was a clear winner in this test. However, we were also both agreed that none of the flavours brought anything fantastic to the party. The Peanut Butter bar is still head and shoulders above any of these offerings and we would be surprised if even the so called 'winner' sticks around for long.
