Advantages: Sweet Nestle chocolate, really thick, crisp wafer, gorgeous Disadvantages: Only a white choc and peanut butter variation of the chunky

I have found a new love is Nestle chocolate- in particular, the Kitkat chunky. Sorry Mars Bar, but now that you've changed the texture of your nougat, you're no longer my top.
Now, I've never really liked wafer chocolate bars like Time outs or Drifters and indeed, the standard Kitkats as I always found them a little bland and boring, prefering the creamy sweet caramel filled chocolate bars. I remember trying one of these once with my brother when we were on a plane (going on hols) and we didn't like them much and felt sick after a couple of bites. However, seeing them on offer once at 5 for £1 I had to give them another go and I've never regretted spending that £1, and the many that have followed.Kitkat chunky is different to a normal Kit Kat (yeah Yeah, I know, it's chunkier!). Kit kat, to brief over, is made by Nestle, and usually comes in two rectangular chocolate covered wafer fingers in tin foil and a red paper. Kit Kat is the main brand of Nestle, just like Cadbury's main brand is 'Dairy milk' and Mars is 'Mars Bar.' Thus, there are lots of variations of the Kit Kat, as there is the dairy milk. You can get Kit Kat as:
2 fingers
, 4 fingers,
white,
Dark
mint,
orange,
cubes,
Caramac
White chunky (hard to find!)
Peanut butter chunky
Capocinno (limited edition)
Bites
Ice cream
They are sold as single bars for about 49p.Kit Kat is basically wafer, sandwiched together with a chocolate cream (similar to that in a Mcvities Penguin bar/ Wafer - see my review) and covered quite thinly in Nestle milk chocolate. It's popular little catchphrase is 'Take a Break, Take a Kit Kat' and it usually makes little 'snapping' noises when you break each finger off (er, the chocolate fingers, not your own!). - Sorry for the attempts at dry humour here peeps.
The Kit Kat chunky is superior to the Kitkat. It comes in a shiny red metalic wrapper with 'KitKat chunky' written in white bold text. The 'chunky' is foregrounded on a blue text box and all the writing is outlined in silver to make it attractive. It says that it is 'foiled wrapper' on the inside to 'retain freshness'. Still, if the wafer is covered in thick choc anyway, it doesn't really need protecting but this does mean you get a lovely shiny silver interior to the wrapper. It's a massive 12cm long, 2.5cm thick and 3cm wide. On taking it out the wrapper, I am greeted by a long rectangular cuboid of smooth covered chocolate. It has a kind of base to it, a flatter rectangle which sticks out beneath the main block. On the top of the smooth chocolate is engraved 'Kit Kat'.
I am instantly hit by the gorgeous sweet Nestle chocolate smell, different and incomparable to any other brand of chocolate. It's basically a Nestle Yorkie Bar filled with 5 layers of wafer. I nibbled off all the chocolate from the edges so that I could appreciate the chocolate flavour and having done so, I am now craving a Yorkie Bar so that I can induldge purely on the chocolate. I was able to bite the chocolate off in big 'slabs'. It broke off from the wafer easily and was incredibly thick. The taste was just divine! It was so creamy that it actually requires me to chew on it before it gently melted away in my mouth. It had the unique Neslte chocolate taste which was sweet with a hint of caramel or condensed milk flavouring as opposed to pure coco. It took me a while to eat all the chocolate off the edges because it was so thick and creamy, plus, because I had to chew it, which made it all the more satisfying. Even better, the fact that the base stuck out provided more chocolate!
Okay, onto the 5 layers of wafer! The wafer is very crisp and it took a while for my teeth to sink through all the layers, however, it didn't require effort. Once my top and bottom teeth hit the bar, the chunk seemed to break off easily. The chocolate cream filling is very thin but you can taste the sweetness of it because wafer in general, it quite bland and flavourless (hense why I'm not a fan). The chocolate cream acted to add sweetness and prevent the wafer from being dry and chewy. Rather, the wafer became deliciously easy to bite and withered away on my tongue into a sweet soggy wheaty mush in my mouth. The wafer wasn't sharp to swallow, perhaps because the chocolate cream had helped soften and dissolve it. However, the sweetness wasn't really worthy of a 'craving' hit.
I found that is is actually better to eat the bar as it is, without nibbling off the chocolate because the chocolate coating adds creaminess and sweetness to the wafer and the thickenss and chewiness adds another texture to the light crisp wafers. The chocolate base actually allows you to taste the pure chocolate as the chocolate sides combine with the wafer and then your teeth hit the chocolate slab base and induldge in the sweet chocolately experience in all it's purity. To some up why Kit Kat chuny's are different and far better to the standard Kitkats:
The chocolate is much thicker which makes it creamier
It fills you up more (I can only eat half a bar)
It takes longer to eat
You can 'snap' it easily in half
More wafer = more crispness
Way more calories and fat (263kcal as opposed to 106kcal an 14.3g of fat) - still, if like me, you can only manage half the bar then it isn't that bad!
Cverall, I think Kit Kat chunky is absolutely divine and I make sure I regulary take breaks just to indulge in half a bar! Nestle should now work on making a 'caramac' 'Mint' and 'Orange' chunky version of the Kit Kat!
Advantages: Delicious thick chocolate and tasty wafer. Disadvantages: Quite expensive.
It is not often I am faced with a chocolate bar which has been on the market for ages and I have not tried. But just to let you know that there is at least one - Nestle Kit Kat Chunky. I am lying slightly because I have tried the Kit Kat finger version (several times), hence the reason I never got the urge to try this one. I was of the impression that it would be much and such of the same.
However, following great reviews from my son and on a visit ... ...give it a go. The 55g bar cost me 40p which I thought was quite expensive. I'm sure they would be cheaper in some of your big supermarkets. They are widely available from most newsagents, supermarkets and confectioners.
The first difference I noticed between this one and the finger bars was the weight - this one is very heavy in comparison. The packaging, however, is the same as for all other Kit Kat varieties - predominantly red with a white oval ...

Advantages: It's Chunky Disadvantages: It's only 6" - Should be longer!
I'm a chocoholic and eat sweets and chocolates day after day after day. And the beauty of it is that I don't even put on weight - so I can eat more and more! I usually prefer to eat Galaxy and Dairy milk as they seem more seductive and chocolaty. However in the recent moths I decided to change my diet. I thought I would finally try to eat 5 fruits and vegetables per day. Because I had to do this; I had to cut down on chocolate.
So for starters, ... ...know it seems a bit silly but that's what I thought. Then like always I went out shopping on Saturday at the local high street in Walthamstow. I had a craving and went straight to the chocolate section. Although my head told me it was wrong, my heart was melting - I had to have it! There it was in it's beautiful read wrapper. Kit Kat. Kit Kat Chunky. I don't know how many of you enjoy Kit Kat, but I obviously did. *The Appearance*

Like everyone I am prone to having cravings for chocolate every so often but I do love a packet of crisps any day over a bar of chocolate. Although lately I haven’t really eaten as much chocolate but the other day I had the weirdest craving for a Kit Kat Chunky. Being Easter and being surrounded with so many Easter eggs on offer, I came across the Kit Kat Chunky egg. This year with creators trying to save on packaging the eggs have come in smaller ... ...which is how I came across the Nestle Kit Kat Chunky egg at Morrison’s with an egg and 2 Kit Kat Chunky’s for a bargain 98p!
The packaging of Kit Kat Chunky’s are not really all that different from an original Kit Kat except it is not wrapped in foil or split into four different fingers. It is foil wrapper still but is one thick finger and has the Kit Kat logo on the cover and in metallic blue with white type over it the wording Chunky. Being wrapped ...

Advantages: Filling, big and chunky Disadvantages: Only one finger
My hours at work changed this week meaning i haven`t been leaving the office until over three hours after I first entered which meant that by that time I was getting very hungry.This wasn`t too much of a problem as there is a One Stop Shop right next to our office.
The first thing that I noticed was the gold foil with the white writing saying WIN £1 MILLION INSTANTLY, this occupied about one third of the right hand side of the wrapper.The rest of ... ...with the traditional red and white logo.The back of the wrapper is mainly gold with the competition rules in black.

Advantages: Delicious 'larger' version of the original Disadvantages: You can't indent the foil with your nail like on the original
The original Kit Kat has been around since the thirties and to me was always more of a snack than a chocolate bar - great with your lunch or in between meals. Everyone loved to peel of the sleeve so they could indent the foil with their nail where the grooves between each finger were, a ritual for all Kit Kat eaters. So imagine the horror when a new chunky version was brought out in 1999.
On first impression back then I thought that the chunky Kit ... ...I felt that rather than being a chocolate bar the Kit Kat was a snack and secondly the wafer part would be too dominant, but I did what every true chocolate lover has to do - bought a pack of four.
If you are familiar with the original Kit Kat then the best way to describe the chunky version is that it is like a single finger of the original but more the size of a Mars Bar or Snickers - measuring around five inches in length.
Now compared to the ...

I will admit to being a chocolate addict, the only type of chocolate I don’t like is dark chocolate. I was in Woolworths again looking for some more Revels when I noticed KitKat white chunky.
This is a new product from Nestle and it was on offer in Woolworths. Buy 4 of either, KitKat White chunky bars (normally 31p), Walnut Whips (normally 39p) or Milky Bar Chunky bars (normally 39p) for 99p.
The wrapper is similar foil to other chunkyKitKats, but this stands out as it is cream with the red KitKat logo. It also clearly shows ‘new’ in yellow and you cannot miss that it is the white variety because ‘white’ is visible on the front of the wrapper in white print with a blue border.
When I opened the wrapper I could not help but notice how thick the white chocolate is. When I bit into the bar ...
Advantages: Its a Chunky Kit Kat - with peanut butter. Disadvantages: Garish packaging.
beneath the familiar ChunkyKitKat exterior, a layer of smooth peanut butter and below that the familiar wafer. This tastes pretty much like it says on the tin - chocolate, peanut butter and wafer. You wouldn't think it would work, but rather bizarrely it does.
How do chocolate manufacturers make their own blend of cholocate so distinctive, I was wondering to myself as I demolished the rest of the sweet satisfyingly. If you gave me a blindfold and samples of chocolate from a Galaxy, a Yorkie Bar and a Dairy Milk, I am sure I could easily tell them apart. The KitKat's chocolate, I think, is similar to that of a Yorkie bar - not as smooth as Galaxy, but more flavour and sweeter than the comparatively hard and flavourless Dairy Milk (which Cadbury nearly had to stop calling chocolate in order not to breach the Trades Descriptions Act) - but I ...
Advantages: Liquid Peanut Butter Disadvantages: Need more!
~~~~~~~~~~ NestleKitKatChunky Peanut Butter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Packaging ~
The bright yellow wrapper with the red and white KitKat logo, makes this product very eye catching.
If your a peanut butter fan then you will truly love this KitKat.
~ Description ~
The KitKat is of the 'chunky' variety and is one long thick bar of crisp wafer finger which is covered in Nestle milk chocolate. On top of the wafer is a generous layer of smooth peanut cream which is a rich brown in colour.
~ Taste ~
It tastes devine, so nice that you could eat a bowl full of the peanut cream on it's own. There are no lumps of peanut in the cream. Infact, I wouldn't say it was a cream as such, more like a thick runny toffee like substance. The peanut cream tastes much like a rich peanut butter but sweeter and slightly toffee tasting ...
