Spring is in the air (it’s 30 degrees out), and the Kit Kats are in full bloom.
Lemon Crisp Kit Kat
We all know when life hands you lemons you make lemonade, but did you know that when life hands you lemon Kit Kats, you search a million run-down groceries until you find them so you can blog about them to your readers (your Mom)?
No sooner than the Raspberry + Creme Kit Kats have cleared shelves, Hershey’s USA has introduced another new seasonal: Lemon Crisp Kit Kats. There’s no remaining doubt that Hershey’s is borrowing from the Japanese strategy of “every flavor in the world should be a Kit Kat.” I swear I won’t harp on this with each release, but we’re still playing catchup to Japan. Just look at how many lemon flavors alone they’ve had:
Lemon Cheesecake
Lemon Vinegar?!
Lemon Soda!
Lemon… love!
Lemon and a Bowl of Salt!
Lemon Crisp Kit Kats debut in miniature size…
The “crisp” stands for Kit Kat.
Love or hate the fruit, lemon treats are one of the most sneakily popular and successful out there. I always cite the Lemon Oreos to prove my point: they started as a limited edition flavor but sold so well that Oreo made them a permanent flavor before eventually upgrading them to family size packs – the ultimate sign that you’re selling like hot cakes.
Let’s see if the track record extends to Kit Kats…
Lemon, you sweet son of a bitch, you’ve done it again!
The lemon scent is light but the flavor BRIGHT. These perfectly blend the flavors of fruity lemon and white chocolatey creme to produce a well-rounded, delightful snack. Working to their advantage, the lemon is less artificial than some previous Kit Kats I’ve tried.
Lemon Crisp Kit Kats actually remind me of lemon Girl Scout cookies (don’t ask me which ones – I feel like they’ve made so many.) But instead of crumbly cookies, you have delicate wafers surrounded in a very pleasant creme. What more could you ask for?
Oh, I KNOW. How about a million more Kit Kat flavors?
Burning Questions:
- Which flavor do you want to see next? Not lemon vinegar!
- Why does Japan eat such weird things? Because Japan rules!
- My favorite is the normal Kit Kats. Get a life!

You must have gotten a better batch. Mine just taste like white chocolate.
Oh but there’s no such thing as a better batch with this kind of thing! Interesting that you didn’t taste lemon. I get PLENTY of it.
