The 'Kit Kat Cotton Candy' chocolate bar is a new flavor of the recognizable treat arriving as a Costco exclusive to get consumers ready for the upcoming carnival season in a decidedly delicious way. The candy bar features the brand's signature wafer and filling combination covered with a smooth chocolate coating that has a blueish hue as a nod to the classic cotton candy color. The candy bar is thus sweet, creamy and crunchy to give it a satisfying profile for consumers seeking out an alternative to the existing options on the market.
The Kit Kat Cotton Candy chocolate bar comes in a variety pack alongside 'Milk Chocolate' and 'Vanilla' flavors, but will only be on offer for a limited time.
