The KitKat Pops are a new twist on the brand's signature candy bar that's crafted with an alternative format in mind to help consumers more easily enjoy the taste and texture of the treat.
The product comes in classic milk and hazelnut flavors, which are both characterized by their spherical format that's easy to pop one after the other or to help with portioned enjoyment. The treat is reported to feature the same crispy texture as the original with sweet, creamy notes to boot.
The KitKat Pops are being launched in Canada where shoppers can pick them up in 170-gram bags and 70-gram cartons to accommodate sharing or on-the-go enjoyment. The treat is arriving just in time for roadtrip season to make it a great option for travelers to try out.
