Who doesn’t like a fresh blueberry muffin? Well, to be honest with you, blueberry is not my jam, but I recently found out that I am in the minority when it comes to blueberry. But hey, I am a bit picky. And guess what? Kit Kat has combined their traditional candy bar with the joys of a blueberry muffin. Sounds like a dream come true. Except for me. Cause I am not a big Kit Kat fan either. Oh well, you can’t win them all.
I found this bar at Hy-Vee. But they are limited edition so grab one quickly.
And of course, let us know what you think.

A History of Kit Kat
The Kit Kat bar got its start across the pond in 1935. These wafer treats were originally known by Londoners as “Rowntree’s Chocolate Crisp.” Two years later, the candy would be renamed to “Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp.” The name Kit Kat came from the Kit Kat Club which was named after Christopher Catling who used to hold a literary and political club in his pie shop in London in the 17th century.
So what exactly are Kit Kat bars? Kit Kats are three layers of wafer covered with an inner and outer layer of chocolate. If you buy the regular size candy bar, each of the pieces you break off are called a finger. Depending on the size of bar you get, they can have 1, 2, or 4 fingers in them.
When people think of Kit Kat bars, a little jingle probably goes through their heads. The classic line, “Have a break, have a Kit Kat” was introduced by Donald Gillies. The slogan became such an icon that it is now a registered trademark.
