Nestlé’s KitKat® unveils its latest, limited-edition KitKat® Salted Caramel Cookies, a fusion of flavours and unexpected texture to take consumers on a new multi-sensorial chocolatey indulgence journey. Featuring a delightful combination of KitKat®’s rich milk chocolate, signature crispy wafer and deliciously crisp caramelised cookie bits, this new variant is indeed the most anticipated treat coming from KitKat® in Malaysia this year.
Food trends around the world have significantly evolved over the years, as consumers continuously look for refreshing ways to enjoy this fulfilling pleasure in life. Zooming into the confectionery space, consumers had shown their affection particularly for cookies and the caramel flavor, amongst others – as they both clinched the Top 10 spots of the most desired flavours in Asia Pacific.
Also, according to studies conducted within Asia Pacific, 70% of consumers were seeking new and exciting chocolates whilst more than 60% desired chocolates which offer multiple textures and flavours. While taste and enjoyment remain consumers’ key motivations, crunchy textures took the top spot as the most desired experience.
