This year’s autumn was a bit stubborn about showing up, with temperatures staying close to 20°C even into late October. But finally, it feels like autumn has truly arrived—the air has cooled, and the leaves are just starting to turn vibrant shades of red and yellow. With autumn settling in, I couldn’t resist picking up a seasonal treat: the limited-edition “Mont Blanc Flavor KitKat”! The blend of chestnut and white chocolate sounded so perfect for this time of year, I had to try it out. Here’s how it went!

First Impression: A Burst of Sweet White Chocolate Aroma

Opening the packet, I was greeted by a soft wave of sweet white chocolate aroma. My first thought? “It smells like cream?” But of course, it’s that classic white chocolate scent, and it’s rich and inviting. I caught a hint of chestnut too, just subtle enough to remind me of cozy autumn treats.

Taking a bite, I was met with the delightful crunch of the wafer coated in sweet, creamy white chocolate. And inside? A gentle hint of chestnut flavor that feels like the creamy topping of a Mont Blanc dessert, peeking through without overpowering. It’s not quite a full Mont Blanc taste, but a lovely whisper of chestnut tucked into each bite.

A Perfect Pair with Coffee: Just Right for an Autumn Afternoon

The combination of white chocolate’s sweetness and the light chestnut taste pairs so well with coffee. It’s just the right treat for an afternoon pause, as the bitterness of coffee balances the KitKat’s creamy sweetness. On a crisp autumn day, with a warm cup of coffee and this KitKat, it feels like a perfect seasonal moment.

A Touch of Sophistication with a Hint of Rum

Interestingly, this KitKat has a touch of alcohol—just 0.1%—to enhance that Mont Blanc flavor. I didn’t notice the alcohol much myself, but for those sensitive to it, it’s good to know. The faint hint of rum adds a sophisticated touch, making this treat feel like a seasonal dessert rather than just a simple snack.

The Perfect Companion for Long Autumn Evenings

With autumn in full swing, I can imagine enjoying this Mont Blanc KitKat by the window, watching the changing leaves. The white chocolate’s gentle sweetness, combined with a whisper of chestnut, makes it a uniquely cozy snack for this season. It’s a simple way to savor a bit of chestnut flavor as autumn deepens, bringing a warm, relaxed moment to your day.
