Well, it's taken a few months, but it looks like these Kit Kat Mint Dark Chocolate Duos are finally on their way to shelves. They'll officially be on as a permanent flavor in December 2019, but some Instagrammers like @mnmtwinz have already tried them.
So how do they taste? The twins had rave reviews, saying that it was a perfect pairing of chocolate and mint and that "If you don’t like mint, still give it a try if you love Kit Kat and are feeling festive."
Now, we wait until December!

It seems like M&Ms and Reese's roll out new flavors or shapes nearly monthly. But Kit Kat isn't so giving. They've got their crazy international flavors, but the U.S. hasn't seen a new one for a bit—until now, rumor has it. Food Instagrammer @Markie_devo posted a photo of the packaging of unreleased Kit Kat Duos (in a Mint and Dark Chocolate flavor) that could be launching this winter.
According to the account, the new Kit Kats will hit stores in December 2019 (which would make sense, given that time of year is full of mint chocolate products). The new Kit Kat appears to be covered in mint creme on top and dark chocolate on the bottom.
Unfortunately, the new Kit Kat hasn't been confirmed by Hershey's yet. We reached out to the company for more information regarding the rumored flavor, and we will update as we hear back.
While we're waiting, I'll be trying the new Kit Kat Drumsticks.
