Following the many [new KitKat flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkat-minis), especially in Japan, [Nestlé](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkat-chocolate-mint-ice-cream) unveils the exciting Key Lime Pie KitKat flavor. The classic option follows right after the Apple Pie that was originally launched during the summer season, then the Pumpkin Pie flavor that followed shortly after during the fall season.

This time around, the [Key Lime Pie flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/key-lime-pie-scent) does not compromise the classic snack. It still retails the same crisp wafer layer right in the middle and is coated in a creme that is bright green to reference the flavor. This is also a key lime pie coating, and the company describes the notes to be of a tart sweetness in a creamy mixture. The new desert is now available for a limited time.
