As the product description reads: the "Kit Kat Vanilla Flavored Candy Bar offers rich vanilla flavored creme that perfectly complements the layers of [classic crispy wafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-white). One taste of this sweet treat will turn your break into anything but basic." With vanilla still among the [most popular flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavorchem-the-art-of-vanilla) out there (and the number one ice cream flavor in the U.S.), it's no surprise that this flavor will be a permanent addition to the Kit Kat lineup.
