KitKat 2 Finger Orange Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g
Britain settled the orange-and-chocolate argument a long time ago, and this bar is not trying to reopen it. You already know which side you are on and one bite will not move you. Where it earns its score is proportion: the citrus sits in the coating at a level that flavours the bar without turning it into a confectionery orange, so it still eats as a KitKat first and a flavour second. That is harder to get right than it sounds, and it is why this is the flavoured version a mixed household actually gets through rather than the box that sits open for a month. Milk and wheat, so dairy and gluten are both in it, and nothing about the flavour changes that.
KitKat 2 Finger Orange Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, in brief.
KitKat 2 Finger Orange is the chocolate-orange version of the two-finger wafer bar, eight individually wrapped 20.7g bars in a 165.6g multipack, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the flavoured variant with the broadest appeal and the easiest one to put in a shared tin.
The citrus makes the coating read lighter than the plain bar without any sugar having been removed, which is a trick of perception rather than a change of recipe.
Chocolate and orange is one of the oldest deliberate pairings in British confectionery, and it works because citrus does something sugar cannot do for itself. An orange note reads as sharp even when there is no actual acid reaching the tongue, so the coating tastes lighter and less cloying than a plain milk one without any sugar having been removed. That is a trick of perception rather than a change of recipe, and it is a good trick.

The Story Behind KitKat
KitKat is one of the most recognisable names on any British shelf, and the two-finger bar is the format that put it in lunchboxes and desk drawers. Orange is the flavoured variant with the broadest appeal, because chocolate and orange is a pairing most British palates already know from selection boxes and Christmas tins rather than one that has to be learned.
It is worth saying plainly that a wafer bar under a chocolate shell is arguably confectionery rather than a biscuit. We file it under biscuits because that is where customers look for it and because it is eaten in the biscuit moment, beside a mug.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Weight: one hundred and sixty-five point six grams across eight bars, which is twenty point seven grams each.
- Count: eight individually wrapped bars, taken from the published pack description.
Ideal Serving Conditions
An orange-toned coating is more forgiving than a mocha one and more interesting than a plain one, which makes this the easiest of the flavoured bars to serve. The only two rules are the usual ones: keep it dry and keep it cool.
The Tea Break Serve
- Straight from the wrapper: the wrapper keeps the wafer dry and the aroma sealed in, and on a flavoured bar that second job matters.
- Earl Grey, unexpectedly: bergamot is a citrus oil, so an Earl Grey and an orange bar share a family. It reads as one thing rather than two, which is either delightful or too much depending on your view.
- Or a plain strong brew: the safe answer. Tannin clears the coating and lets the orange arrive fresh on the second finger.
- Cool storage: aroma goes before flavour does. A bar kept somewhere warm tastes of plain chocolate within weeks.
The Christmas Tin Serve
- It belongs in a selection: chocolate orange is a tin flavour in this country, and eight wrapped bars go into a shared tin without a plate or a knife.
- With real orange alongside: a bowl of clementines next to the tin is the cheapest improvement available. Real citrus makes the flavoured coating taste better rather than worse.
- After dinner, at a push: lighter than a plain bar and easier at the end of a meal, though the mocha version does that job properly.
- Children will eat these: unlike the mocha bar. Orange reads as fruit rather than as bitter, so it is the flavoured variant that gets finished.
Getting It Right with a Hot Drink
- Pairing: strong black tea, Earl Grey, a plain Assam, or an instant coffee. Bergamot is the interesting match and a builder's brew is the reliable one.
- Avoid: hot chocolate and sweetened lattes. The citrus makes the bar taste lighter, not actually less sweet, so a sweet drink still overloads it.
- Dunking: no. Wafer takes up water on contact and folds, and the orange aroma is the first thing a hot liquid strips away.
- Storage: cool, dry and dark, in the wrappers. Aroma fades before flavour does, so an old bar tastes plainer rather than worse.
- Best with: the mid-morning break, a shared tin at Christmas, a lunchbox, or a bowl of clementines on the same table.

The taste profile
How does it compare
KitKat 2 Finger Orange Chocolate Biscuit Bar Multipack, 8 Pack 165.6g is a citrus-toned wafer bar, which makes it the easiest of the flavoured versions to serve and a genuinely good one to build with, provided nothing warm touches it. Five builds below cover the tea break, the Earl Grey experiment, a shared tin with real citrus, a no-bake chocolate orange traybake and a sundae.
Made with this tea
The Tea Break Serve
One wrapped bar, one strong mug, ten minutes. The citrus makes the second finger more interesting than it is on a plain bar, which is the whole reason to buy this one.
- 1 KitKat 2 Finger Orange bar
- 250ml strong tea
- A splash of milk
- Brew the tea properly and let it stand two minutes.
- Unwrap the bar and smell it first. The orange is at its strongest in the few seconds after the wrapper comes off.
- Snap the fingers apart and alternate a finger with a mouthful, so the tannin clears the coating in between.
What you'll end up with: a break where the citrus lifts the second half rather than letting it go flat. Reseal the box afterwards: an open multipack in a warm kitchen loses its aroma faster than its date suggests.
The Earl Grey Experiment
Bergamot is a citrus oil and orange is a citrus note, so this pairing either reads as one beautiful thing or as too much of one thing. Worth finding out which camp you are in.
- 1 KitKat 2 Finger Orange bar
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag
- 250ml water just off the boil
- A twist of lemon, optional
- Brew the Earl Grey for three minutes and drink it black, so the bergamot is not buried in milk.
- Eat the first finger before the tea and the second one with it.
- Compare the two. On its own the orange sits over the chocolate; with the bergamot it merges into the cup entirely.
What you'll end up with: either your new favourite pairing or a lesson learned. Drinking the tea black is essential to the test: milk mutes bergamot and the whole experiment collapses.
The Shared Tin with Real Citrus
Eight wrapped bars need no plate and no knife, which is why they belong in a shared tin. A bowl of clementines on the same table is the cheapest possible improvement.
- 8 KitKat 2 Finger Orange bars
- A bowl of clementines
- A few squares of dark chocolate, optional
- Tip the bars into a tin rather than leaving them in the outer carton.
- Put a bowl of clementines beside it. Real citrus makes a flavoured coating taste better by comparison rather than worse.
- Add a few squares of dark chocolate to the tin if the company is adult. Dark chocolate and orange is the older version of the same idea.
What you'll end up with: a tin that looks considered. The clementines do real work: alternating real and flavoured citrus keeps both tasting of something.
No-Bake Chocolate Orange Traybake
The traybake that suits a wafer bar, because nothing goes near an oven. Real orange zest backs up the flavoured coating and stops the whole thing tasting synthetic.
- 4 KitKat 2 Finger Orange bars, broken up
- 200g dark chocolate, broken
- 60g unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- Zest of 1 orange
- Melt the dark chocolate, butter and syrup together over a low heat and take it off the hob.
- Stir in the orange zest while the mixture is still warm, so the oils release.
- Fold in the broken bars last and quickly, before the wafer softens.
- Press into a lined 20cm tin and chill for two hours.
- Cut into nine squares with a warm knife.
What you'll end up with: nine squares with wafer pieces visible in the cut face and a real citrus note behind the flavoured one. The zest is the difference between a traybake that tastes homemade and one that tastes of the wrapper.
Chocolate Orange Sundae
Five minutes, no cooking, and the wafer keeps its snap because nothing warm touches it. Real orange segments underneath do the same job the zest does in the traybake.
- 2 KitKat 2 Finger Orange bars
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 oranges, segmented
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate sauce
- Divide the orange segments between two glasses.
- Add two scoops of ice cream to each and a spoon of dark chocolate sauce.
- Chop the bars just before serving and scatter them over the top.
- Serve at once with a long spoon.
What you'll end up with: two glasses with real fruit at the base, cold vanilla in the middle and crisp wafer on top. Chop late: five minutes on ice cream and the wafer has gone soft.
