KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g
Hazelnut behaves differently from most things put into a chocolate bar. Most added flavours work by contrast, setting something sharp or bitter against the sweetness; hazelnut works by agreement. It reads as weight rather than as a separate taste, thickening the chocolate and lengthening the finish, so what registers is a richer bar rather than a bar with something added to it. That is why it upsets almost nobody, and the scores say as much. Two things to expect. There is nothing crunchy in it, so anybody hoping for nut pieces or praline rubble is looking for something this bar never had; and the flavour sits in the coating, which means it arrives first and stays last. Then the thing that matters most: hazelnut on the front is a flavour statement and not an allergen statement. Whether nuts are in it, or handled anywhere near it, is on the current pack, and for a nut-free household that is the only line that counts.
KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, in brief.
KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g is the hazelnut edition of the two-finger wafer bar, eight of them wrapped separately inside one 165.6g multipack, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the portion-controlled biscuit for a desk drawer or a lunchbox.
Each wrapper holds a layered wafer coated on every side, the hazelnut carried in the coating rather than replacing the chocolate. It does not dunk, because there is no exposed wafer for tea to get into. What it does is stay crisp for weeks and stop at one bar.
What you get inside each wrapper is the familiar architecture, a layered wafer finger sandwiched with a soft filling and then coated on every side, with a hazelnut-flavour character carried in the coating. It is not a plate biscuit and it does not pretend to be. It is a desk-drawer, lunchbox and glovebox biscuit, and it is unusually good at that job because the wrapper keeps the wafer crisp long after an open pack of anything else has gone soft.

The Story Behind KitKat
KitKat is a British confectionery name that began in York and grew into one of the most widely recognised chocolate biscuit brands in the world. The two-finger bar is the original format and the one the brand is built around: a snapping wafer under chocolate, sold in a size meant to be eaten in one sitting with a hot drink. The hazelnut edition is a flavour extension of that same two-finger format, and it behaves exactly like the standard bar with a nutty note added to the coating.
What You Are Actually Buying
Eight wrapped two-finger bars, 165.6g across the pack, which works out at 20.7g a bar according to the published pack listing. Read the current UK pack for all of it.
Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Ideal Serving Conditions
The wrapper does most of the work here, but two things still change the bar in the hand. Temperature is the first: a bar that has spent the afternoon in a warm car has no snap left, and the snap is a large part of why anybody eats a wafer biscuit. The second is what you drink with it. An unsweetened black tea or a plain black coffee has the bitterness to stand up to a coating this sweet; anything with sugar in it and the whole thing turns one-note.
The Desk Serve
- Keep it cool: A drawer rather than a pocket. Twenty minutes against a radiator or in a bag in the sun and the wafer goes soft and the coating marks the wrapper.
- One wrapper: Take one out and put the box away. The format exists to stop you eating four, and it only works if you let it.
- Snap it: Break the two fingers apart before the first bite. It is not ceremony, it is the cleanest way to eat one without the coating shedding down your front.
- Drink alongside: Black tea, no sugar. The tannin resets the palate between bites and stops the third bar tasting like the second.
The Lunchbox and Travel Case
- Why it travels: Each bar is sealed on its own, so opening the pack does not start a clock on the rest of it the way opening a tube or a tray does.
- What ruins it: Heat and pressure. A bar at the bottom of a school bag arrives as a flat sweet wafer with the geometry gone.
- Best use: One in a lunchbox, one in a laptop bag, one in the glovebox. This is a distribution biscuit rather than a sharing one.
- Portion honesty: At 20.7g a bar it is a small sweet thing, not a snack that will fill anybody up. Treat it as a full stop after lunch rather than as lunch.
Getting It Right with a Hot Drink
- Strong black tea: The best match. Builders-strength, no sugar, and the coating stops being relentless by the second bite.
- Black coffee: Works for the same reason. An espresso is almost too short; a long black gives you something to return to between bites.
- What to avoid: Hot chocolate, sweetened tea and milky sweetened coffee. All three add sugar to something that already has plenty and nothing to brake it.
- Dunking: Do not. The bar is coated on every side, so there is no exposed wafer for tea to travel into. A dunk melts the outside and leaves chocolate floating on your drink.

The taste profile
How does it compare
KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g is a wrapped bar rather than a plate biscuit, so the useful builds are about where it goes and what it turns into rather than how it is arranged. Five below cover the desk serve, a crushed sundae topping, a traybake rubble, a hot-drink pairing flight and how to keep the snap.
Made with this tea
The Desk Serve
How to make The Desk Serve with KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut.
- One wrapped bar
- Strong black tea, no sugar
- Ten minutes somewhere cool
- Chill the bar for ten minutes if the room is warm. A soft wafer has no snap and the snap is most of the pleasure.
- Brew the tea strong and leave the sugar in the cupboard. Tannin is what cuts an unopposed sweet coating.
- Snap the two fingers apart before the first bite. It keeps the coating off your keyboard.
- Put the box away before you start. The wrapper decides the portion only if you let it.
What you’ll end up with: A clean click, a coating that reads nutty rather than only sweet, and a stopping point built into the pack.
Crushed Sundae Rubble
How to make Crushed Sundae Rubble with KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut.
- Two bars
- Vanilla ice cream
- A handful of raspberries
- A rolling pin
- Chill the bars hard first. Cold wafer shatters; warm wafer squashes.
- Crush them inside the wrappers with a rolling pin, which saves washing a bowl and keeps the pieces contained.
- Scoop the ice cream, scatter the rubble over the top and add the raspberries.
- Serve at once. The wafer stays crisp for about a minute against cold ice cream and then it does not.
What you’ll end up with: A sundae with three textures and a hazelnut note that survives the cold, which most chocolate toppings do not.
Traybake Top Layer
How to make Traybake Top Layer with KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut.
- Four bars
- A set chocolate traybake or brownie
- A little melted chocolate to fix them down
- Break the bars into two-finger halves rather than crushing them, so the layers stay visible.
- Brush the top of the cooled traybake with a thin film of melted chocolate.
- Lay the halves across the top in rows and press lightly.
- Leave somewhere cool to set before cutting, and cut between the rows rather than through them.
What you’ll end up with: A traybake with a crisp wafer roof that holds its snap for a day or two, and neat squares instead of shattered ones.
The Pairing Flight
How to make The Pairing Flight with KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut.
- Two bars, halved
- Strong black tea
- A long black coffee
- Water to reset between
- Pour a small cup of each and leave both unsweetened.
- Taste a half-bar with the tea first. The tannin strips the sugar and pushes the roasted note forward.
- Taste the second half with the coffee. The roast in the cup meets the roast in the coating and the sweetness drops away.
- Decide which you prefer and stop buying sweetened drinks to go with it.
What you’ll end up with: A clear answer to which cup this bar belongs beside, and it is almost never the sweet one.
Keeping the Snap
How to make Keeping the Snap with KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut.
- The unopened multipack
- A cool dark cupboard
- Nowhere near the kettle or the hob
- Move the box off the counter. Counters sit next to kettles and hobs and both are warm.
- Close the box after taking a bar out, which keeps kitchen smells off the wrappers.
- Never store it in a car, a bag in the sun or a windowsill. Heat is the one thing that ruins this format.
- Eat an opened wrapper the same day. Sealed bars keep; opened ones go soft fast.
What you’ll end up with: Eight bars that all click the way the first one did, rather than three good ones and five soft ones.
What’s in it, what to know
Inside the pack
| Component | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|

Pack: KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g; eight individually wrapped two-finger wafer bars.

Characterising components shown. The wafer is a wheat product, which is why gluten is stated; nothing else is inferred, including the nut question, which the pack answers and we do not.
Sourcing & blend. KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g carries the KitKat name, a British confectionery brand that began in York and is built around exactly this two-finger format. The hazelnut edition is a flavour extension of the standard bar: the wafer architecture is unchanged and the nutty character is carried in the coating, which is why it eats like the familiar bar with one extra note rather than like a different product.
What’s in KitKat 2 Finger Hazelnut Flavour Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g, and what isn’t:
- In: eight individually wrapped layered wafer fingers under a hazelnut flavour chocolate coating, 165.6g across the pack.
- Contains gluten: a layered wafer is a wheat product and this is not suitable for a coeliac diet.
- No health claim: this is a sweet chocolate wafer biscuit and we claim no benefit of any kind for it.
