Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and we’re so ready for all of the lovely treats. Bring on the candy hearts and decadent chocolates. As usual, we’re making room for a delicious barrage of Valentine’s Day delights. And, of course, the greatest delight comes from the good folks at Kit Kat.
Kit Kat’s prodigal flavor Raspberry Creme is back ahead of Valentine’s Day, and we’ve already got a sweet craving that can’t be satiated by anything else. Here’s the tastiest way to win over your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day.
You’ll Fall in Love with This Flavor
Now that we’ve left peppermint and pumpkin spice behind, it’s time to let fruity flavors shine. Kit Kat is bringing back Raspberry Creme Kit Kat Miniatures, aka the flavor we couldn’t get enough of last year. Raspberry Creme Kit Kats are tiny, two-bite wafer bars covered in pretty pink raspberry creme, each individually wrapped in hot pink packaging that screams, “romance!” They’re as delicious as they sound, perfectly balancing the classic flavor of Kit Kats and raspberry.
Instagrammer @foodiewiththebeasts recently posted a pic of the romantic flavor that captures the spirit of Valentine’s Day between each wafer.
Raspberry Creme Kit Kats initially debuted in February of 2020 alongside Lemon Crisp Kit Kats. So far, there’s no knowing if the lemon flavor is headed back to stores, but we’ve got an inkling they’ll turn up sometime around spring. If not, we’ve still got Key Lime Pie Kit Kats to look forward to.
Where Are the New Kit Kat Flavors?
The Kit Kat Valentine’s Day Raspberry Creme Miniatures are available in 9-ounce bags right now at Walmart for $2.98, which is a real steal for all this goodness. Unfortunately, you can’t order these guys online—you’ll have to head in-store if you want a taste of 2021’s most romantic flavor. Raspberry Creme Kit Kats have also been spotted in some Giant locations, so if you’ve got one near you, remember to keep your eyes peeled for this flavor during your next grocery haul.
We don’t know about you, but we’re kicking off the day of love a little early with Raspberry Creme Kit Kats!
