After testing the Kit Kat quesadilla in the United Kingdom last fall, restaurant chain Taco Bell confirmed to Mashable that the Chocoladilla will be coming to the United States. The "unholy" chocolate bar quesadilla has been tested in Wisconsin since October 5th and will continue to be available until the middle of November. The new offering costs just $1, making it a true bargain fast food item.
The Kit Kat quesadilla is exactly what it sounds like -- a quesadilla with melted milk chocolate-covered wafer cookies instead of cheese. The limited time only Chocoladilla is described as "the equivalent of those childhood after-school snacks you whipped up before your parents came home to stop you."
