Twelve bars across 248.8g works out at 20.7g each, which is our own calculation from the published pack figures rather than a weight printed on the wrapper. The two-finger bar is a wafer biscuit under chocolate, and the format is the reason it has outlasted almost every rival. A wafer is mostly air held in a very thin, crisp starch lattice, which means it gives instantly under the teeth and carries far more chocolate per gram of biscuit than a baked biscuit can. It also means the whole thing eats quickly, which is exactly what a lunchbox or a mid-morning break wants. What the orange version changes is the top note rather than the structure: orange oil is sharp and volatile, so it arrives before the chocolate does and lifts a bar that can otherwise read as fairly one-note. The Taste Profile Orange: ●●●●○ (4/5) Bright and sharp on the opening, because orange oil is volatile and reaches the nose before the chocolate reaches the tongue. It is the reason to buy this version rather than the plain one. Milk chocolate: ●●●●○ (4/5) Sweet and creamy, and the layer that carries the bar. Orange and cocoa have been paired in confectionery for generations because the sharpness cuts the sweetness. Wafer: ●●●●○ (4/5) Light, crisp and almost weightless, giving instantly under the teeth. There is very little biscuit flavour here by design; the wafer is a structure rather than a taste. Sweetness: ●●●●○ (4/5) High, and lifted rather than reduced by the orange. This is confectionery rather than a tea biscuit and it does not pretend otherwise. Teas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.8 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk The Story Behind The Pack KitKat began life at Rowntree's in York as a bar for a working person's break, and the two-finger version is the original shape rather than a shrunken one. The design solves a specific problem: a bar that had to be cheap, portable, quick to eat and satisfying without being heavy. A wafer does all four things at once. It costs little, it survives a pocket, it collapses instantly under the teeth and it carries a great deal of chocolate relative to its own weight, so the bar reads rich while weighing almost nothing. Individually wrapped multipacks add one more thing that matters more than it sounds: each bar is sealed until the moment it is opened. Wafer is the most fragile common biscuit structure there is, and it goes soft very quickly once air reaches it, because a thin starch lattice takes up moisture readily. Eleven sealed bars are still crisp while you eat the twelfth, which is exactly why this format lives in lunchboxes and desk drawers rather than in biscuit tins. The full ingredient declaration, the nutrition panel and the allergen statement are printed on the current UK pack. Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes. Our Commitment To The Planet The box that arrives is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market. Twelve individual wrappers use more packaging than a single large bar would, and we would rather say that than dress it up. What they buy back is wafer that is still crisp on day twenty rather than soft on day three. The outer carton and the individual wrappers take different recycling routes, and those routes differ by council. Read the current UK pack and check locally. If portioning is not the reason you are buying, a larger single bar is lighter on packaging. Buy the multipack for the sealed portions. How Does KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange Biscuit Bars Multipack, 12 Pack 248.8g Compare to: KitKat 2 Finger Milk Chocolate Biscuit Bars Multipack, 12 Pack 248.8g: the identical box in the plain milk version. Sweeter-reading and simpler, because nothing is cutting the chocolate. Buy that one if the orange is not the point. KitKat 2 Finger Orange Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g: the same idea in a smaller eight-bar box. Worth taking if twelve is more than the house will get through while the wafer is still crisp. Ideal Brewing Conditions A wafer bar under chocolate is quick, sweet and light, so it does not need a cup to prop it up the way a dry biscuit does. What it wants instead is something to clear the chocolate afterwards. A plain black tea, brewed medium and taken unsweetened, does that in one mouthful, and a plain black coffee does it harder. The Mid-Morning Break Brew: A standard black tea, one bag per 200ml at a full boil, three minutes. Medium; there is nothing here that needs a long steep. Milk: A splash. The bar is already creamy, so restraint helps. Sugar: None. The orange is doing the lifting and sugar in the cup flattens it immediately. Count: One bar. That is the entire point of a sealed portion. The Lunchbox Route Pack: One sealed bar straight into the box, which is the use this format was built for. Why it works: Nothing has to be opened, resealed or shared, and a sealed wafer in a warm bag is still crisp a fortnight later where an open one would not be. Cold milk: The pairing children reach for without being told, and it suits a sweet orange bar better than a hot drink does. Do not dunk: A wafer has no structure to spare and the chocolate holds it together. In a mug it is gone in a second. Serving Notes For KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange Biscuit Bars Multipack, 12 Pack 248.8g Water temperature: Full boil for black tea; standard brewing temperature for coffee. Measure: One bag per 200ml, one bar a person. Steep: Three minutes, medium. A long stewed brew fights the orange rather than clearing the chocolate. Service: A splash of milk, no sugar. Dunk: No. Wafer and hot liquid is the shortest relationship in biscuit eating. Iced version: Unsweetened iced black tea or cold milk. Cold suits the orange, which reads sharper when the drink is not warm. Best with: Plain black tea with a splash of milk, black filter coffee, or cold milk. Safety And Purity Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change. Bar weight: 248.8g across twelve bars is 20.7g each. That is our own calculation from the published pack figures rather than a weight printed on the wrapper. Storage: Cool and dark, and leave the bars sealed until you want them. Wafer takes up moisture faster than any other common biscuit structure and does not recover once it has gone soft. Child safety: Keep the kettle and the hot mug out of reach of children while you brew. ## Product Questions What is actually inside a two-finger bar?A wafer under chocolate, and very little else. A wafer is mostly air held in a thin crisp starch lattice, which is why it gives instantly under the teeth and carries far more chocolate per gram than a baked biscuit can. What does the orange version change?The top note rather than the structure. Orange oil is sharp and volatile, so it reaches the nose before the chocolate reaches the tongue and cuts sweetness that the plain version leaves standing. What should I drink with it?A plain black tea brewed medium and taken unsweetened, or a plain black coffee. The job of the cup here is to clear chocolate afterwards rather than to prop the biscuit up, so three minutes is plenty. Can I dunk it?No. A wafer has no structure to spare and the chocolate is what holds it together, so in a hot mug it disintegrates within a second or two. This is the one format where dunking is genuinely pointless. How big is each bar?248.8g across twelve bars is 20.7g each. That is our own calculation from the published pack figures rather than a weight printed on the wrapper. Why do the bars go soft, and how do I stop it?Wafer takes up moisture faster than any other common biscuit structure. Leave the bars sealed until you want them and keep the box cool and dark; once a wafer has gone soft it does not come back. Should I keep them in the fridge?Only in a hot spell, and then let a bar come back to room temperature before eating. Cold chocolate mutes flavour, and orange is exactly the note you lose first. Twelve bars or eight?Twelve if the house gets through them; eight if not. Sealed wrappers hold a wafer for a long time, but a box that sits in a cupboard for months is still the worse buy in the end. ## Ingredients & Nutrition IngredientProportionWhat it bringsWaferthe structureMostly air held in a thin crisp starch lattice.

KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange Biscuit Bars Multipack, 12 Pack 248.8g carries the KitKat name, which began life at Rowntree's in York as a bar for a working person's break. The two-finger version is the original shape rather than a shrunken one, and the design solves a specific problem: cheap, portable, quick to eat and satisfying without being heavy. A wafer does all four at once. The box you receive is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market. The account of wafer being mostly air in a starch lattice, and therefore both fragile and unusually moisture-sensitive, is general food structure rather than a claim about this pack's recipe, and the flavour reading is our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description.What is in KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange Biscuit Bars Multipack, 12 Pack 248.8g, and what is not:In: twelve individually wrapped two-finger wafer bars in an orange chocolate version, 248.8g to the box.Not a tea biscuit: this is confectionery. It brings almost no biscuit flavour of its own and the cup beside it is clearing chocolate rather than supporting a dry bake. ## Flavour Science The flavour of KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange Biscuit Bars Multipack, 12 Pack 248.8g is built in three layers, and with a wafer bar the layers arrive faster than with any other biscuit format.The outer layer is the orange, and it gets there first because orange oil is volatile. Volatile compounds leave the surface and reach the nose before anything has been tasted at all, which is why the wrapper smells of orange the moment it is opened and why the first impression of this bar is sharp rather than sweet. That lift is the whole reason for the version.The flavour spike is the chocolate, and it lands immediately behind the orange. Milk chocolate melts at close to body temperature, so it floods the mouth within a second and carries the sweetness with it. Orange and cocoa have been paired in confectionery for generations because they operate at different speeds: the sharp note is already fading as the creamy one arrives, which is what stops either of them dominating.The base structure is the wafer, and it contributes structure rather than flavour. A thin crisp starch lattice gives instantly under the teeth, so there is no chewing stage at all, and the whole bar is finished in a few seconds. That speed is the format's defining property: it is why a two-finger bar suits a break rather than a sitting, and why the finish is short and clean instead of lingering the way a caramel biscuit does.Getting it right in the cup. One bar a person with a plain black tea, one bag per 200ml at a full boil for three minutes, a splash of milk and no sugar. The cup is there to clear chocolate rather than to support a dry biscuit, so there is no need to brew long, and sugar in the cup flattens the orange immediately. Do not dunk it: a wafer has no structure in reserve and the chocolate is what holds it together. Keep the box cool and dark and leave the bars sealed until you want them, because wafer takes up moisture faster than any other common biscuit structure and does not recover.How water and temperature change it. Temperature matters here more for the bar than for the cup. A cold bar out of a fridge mutes the orange first, because volatile aromatics need a little warmth to lift, so let one come back to room temperature before eating it in a hot spell. In the cup, a medium three-minute brew clears the chocolate cleanly, while a long stewed pot brings tannin that argues with the orange rather than helping it. Hard tap water flattens black tea generally, so add a minute in a hard water area. Cold drinks suit this bar unusually well: unsweetened iced tea or cold milk both read sharper against orange than a hot cup does. ## Recipe Ideas A wafer bar cannot be dunked and does not want to be baked, so these builds treat it as chocolate with a crunch in it: a break, a lunchbox, and three cold puddings that use the orange rather than burying it. Five ideas below. Recipes, born here first The Mid-Morning Break How to take a KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange with a proper cup. 4 min 1 mug Easy You will need 1 two-finger Chocolate Orange bar 1 bag plain black tea 200ml water at a full boil A splash of milk Method Brew one bag in 200ml at a full boil for three minutes and add a splash of milk. Open the bar and smell it before you eat it; the orange is strongest in the first few seconds. Eat the bar, then take the tea. The cup is there to clear chocolate rather than to accompany it. Leave the sugar out; it flattens the orange at once. What you will end up with: Four minutes, and a clean palate afterwards rather than a chocolate film. The Sealed Lunchbox Bar How to use the KitKat 2 Finger multipack as it was designed. 1 min 1 box Easy You will need 1 sealed two-finger bar A small carton of cold milk Method Put one sealed bar into the lunchbox. Nothing needs opening, resealing or sharing. Pair it with cold milk rather than a hot drink; cold reads sharper against orange. Keep the rest of the box cool and dark at home. Resist opening two bars at once, which defeats the entire point of the format. What you will end up with: A wafer that is still crisp at lunchtime, which an unwrapped one would not be. Chocolate Orange Refrigerator Slice How to make a fridge slice with KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange. 20 min + chill 12 pieces Easy You will need 6 two-finger bars, broken 200g plain digestive biscuits 100g butter 2 tablespoons golden syrup 150g dark chocolate Zest of one orange Method Break six bars into rough pieces and crush the digestives coarsely; the wafer gives texture and the digestive gives the base body. Melt 100g of butter with 2 tablespoons of golden syrup and fold everything through with the orange zest. Press into a lined tin and pour over 150g of melted dark chocolate. Chill for three hours and cut small with a hot knife. What you will end up with: Fresh zest restoring the orange that the fridge would otherwise mute, with wafer crunch running through a dark slab. Chocolate Orange Sundae How to build a sundae with KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange. 8 min 2 glasses Easy You will need 2 two-finger bars, chopped 4 scoops vanilla ice cream Zest of half an orange 20g dark chocolate to grate Method Chop two bars into rough pieces rather than crumbs. Layer with vanilla ice cream in two tall glasses. Zest half an orange over the top, which lifts the flavour back up after the cold has flattened it. Grate a little dark chocolate over and serve at once, before the wafer softens. What you will end up with: A sundae that still has crunch in it, provided it reaches the table within a couple of minutes. Cold Milk And One How to serve KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange to children. 2 min 4 people Easy You will need 4 sealed two-finger bars 4 small glasses of cold milk Method Give one sealed bar each rather than opening the box on the table. Pour small glasses of cold milk; cold suits the orange better than a hot drink. Skip the dunking entirely, and say why: a wafer has nothing holding it together in liquid. Put the box back somewhere cool and dark. What you will end up with: Four portions, no crumbs, and eight bars still sealed for next time. --- _Content available under teas.co.uk citation contract.
