KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange: Taste, Storage and Tea

KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange: the twelve-bar box

The orange in this bar works on timing: orange oil is volatile, so it reaches your nose before the chocolate reaches your tongue. That head start is what sets it apart from the plain two-finger, and it counts for most in a box meant to be eaten one bar a day.

KitKat 2 Finger Chocolate Orange: the twelve-bar box, in summary: Twelve wrapped wafer bars with a sharp orange lift over sweet chocolate. The citrus arrives first and keeps a daily bar interesting. Keep them sealed and cool, skip the dunk and pour a plain black tea or coffee.

The orange in this bar works on timing: orange oil is volatile, so it reaches your nose before the chocolate reaches your tongue. That head start is what sets it apart from the plain two-finger, and it counts for most in a box meant to be eaten one bar a day.

What the orange changes, and what it leaves alone

Underneath, this is the standard two-finger build: a crisp wafer, mostly air held in a fine starch lattice, under a coat of sweet, creamy chocolate. The wafer supplies texture and very little taste, while the chocolate carries the sweetness. The orange sits over both as a sharp, bright opening, so your first impression is citrus and the chocolate follows a moment later.

That order is the useful part. Because the citrus is already on its way out as the sweetness builds, neither takes over, and the bar reads as less one-note than plain chocolate does. It remains a sweet rather than a tea biscuit, and makes no pretence otherwise: the sugar is high and the orange lifts it rather than trimming it back. Buy it for flavour, not restraint.

Why a box of twelve suits this flavour

The box holds twelve bars across 248.8g, which comes to about 20.7g a bar. That figure is our own sum from the pack weight rather than something printed on the wrapper. Twelve covers a fortnight of weekday packed lunches with two to spare, and a flavoured bar makes a better companion for that kind of routine than a plain one does.

Eaten every afternoon, plain chocolate tends to stop registering; you finish the bar without noticing you started it. A citrus note keeps announcing itself, which is the whole case for choosing this box. It also treats chocolate orange as an ordinary flavour instead of something that appears in a Christmas stocking and has gone by mid-January. For a smaller orange-led box, we also carry the eight-bar KitKat 2 Finger Orange.

Keeping the wafer crisp, and why not to dunk

Wafer takes up moisture faster than any baked biscuit, and once it has softened it never recovers its crunch. The individual wrappers are the protection, so open each bar only when you mean to eat it and keep the box somewhere cool and dark. Chocolate and a warm car do not mix either, so the glovebox is a poor home for it on a sunny day.

Dunking is a lost cause. A wafer has no strength of its own and relies on the chocolate to hold it together, so a hot mug undoes it within a second or two. The cup has a different job here: a plain black tea, brewed for about three minutes and taken without sugar, or a black coffee, clears the chocolate between bites so each tastes as bright as the first.

FAQ

Does the orange flavour change the texture of the bar? No. The wafer and chocolate structure are the standard two-finger build; the orange works as a top note that arrives before the chocolate.

How much does each bar weigh? About 20.7g, which is our own sum from 248.8g across twelve bars rather than a figure printed on the wrapper.

Can you dunk a Chocolate Orange two-finger? Not usefully. The wafer depends on its chocolate to hold together, and in hot tea it comes apart within a second or two.

Why has my bar gone soft? Air has reached the wafer, which takes up moisture quickly and never regains its crispness. Leave bars sealed until you want them.

Which drink keeps the orange tasting bright? Something plain and unsweetened, such as a medium-strength black tea or a black coffee, which clears the chocolate instead of adding more sugar.

Curator's note: Put one in the lunchbox every weekday and notice that it still registers in week two; that is the orange earning its place. Eat it at room temperature, never straight out of a hot car. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
