The pastry features a turnover-style crust that's infused with chocolate to give it a more complex flavor profile and is packed with [KitKat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kushi-katsu-tanaka) bar-infused filling to give it a creamy touch of sweetness. The treat is expected to be a hit amongst patrons seeking out a more indulgent pastry to enjoy as we head into the cold weather months. The A&W Canada Chocolate Turnover is deep-fried to ensure a crispy texture, which also helps to heat the inside to give it just the right level of softness.
