Pink Kitkat anyone?

[kentish maid]

Not come across ruby chocolate before, wonder how it compares with other chocolates?

'Ruby chocolate is a big innovation in confectionery and we are very proud that KITKAT is the first major brand in the UK to feature this exciting new chocolate.'

Ruby chocolate was created by Swiss chocolatier Barry Callebaut which spent over a decade developing the new flavour.

KitKats made with Ruby chocolate were first introduced earlier this year in Japan and Korea as KitKat Chocolatory Sublime Ruby sold exclusively at KITKAT Chocolatory boutique

@Vince_UK Ruby chocolate was revealed at an exclusive launch event in Shanghai, China, on September 5, 2017 - have you tried it?

Looks cool but Vince just doesn't do pink lol 🙄

They look nice to me but depends on the taste. Could be a bit sickly.

Apparently the Brits don’t like coloured food much. Such things have failed in the past.

Haven't seen it here I must admit @kentish maid but I do tend to avoid chocolate aisles these day other than the dark selling bays.

Some technical stuff in this article https://www.confectionerynews.com/A...New-gem-in-confectionery-crown-or-pink-misfit - a lot of it complicated, but no nutritional details

My thought too.

Wonder how it compares with the other chocolates, nutritional values are proving elusive to find

I remember Pink Panther bars when I was a child. Probably couldn’t call it chocolate though!

I must be one of those Brits. When I see them making purple mash potato or cauliflower on Masterchef it turns my stomach. I definitely wouldn’t eat a pink KitKat, it does send out the message it would be very sweet and sickly.

Was that similar to Caramac? Don't think they were actually chocolate either

Just found the ingredients for Caramac - Vegetable fats (Palm, Shea), Sugar, Lactose (from Milk), Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk, Skimmed Milk Powder, Butterfat (from Milk), Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Treacle, Flavouring , Salt.

Ooo I liked those! 😛

 

[Redkite]

They make all sorts of weird flavours and colours of kitkat in Japan. My sister went there for a holiday and brought back loads to sample - all were foul!

Yes but I think pink panthers were vaguely strawberry flavoured. I quite liked caramac but even as a child with a very, very sweet tooth, I didn’t much care for pink panthers.
