Soon, a new Kit Kat Birthday Cake chocolate flavor will be launched, marking first-ever bar from the brand containing sprinkles. The chocolate wafer candy bar includes birthday cake-flavored white crème, plus the classic crispy wafer that fans know and love. As seen in this product and others, the taste of birthday cake has become so popular that it now exists as a standalone flavor.
As Kit Kat Marketing Director Susanne Prucha says, "Our US Kit Kat lovers have continued to voice a longing for new and imaginative flavors and that's exactly what we're giving them in 2020." Already, Kit Kat has introduced Raspberry Crème and Lemon Crisp flavors, which are just a few of the fresh new creations that the brand has in store.
