If you're a fan of both chocolate and experimental flavours, KitKat's probably your sweet snack of choice - or if it isn't then it certainly should be. Buyers are spoilt for choice with a number of Japan's weird and wonderful flavours (such as sake, purple potato and green tea) making their way onto supermarket shelves around the world. Personally, I've actually forgotten what a standard KitKat even tastes like - so keen am I to try as many of their alternative versions as I can. The cast of 1971's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory reveal the secret behind the chocolate river: [[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/Ao1sklpt-Q0L14jDU.mp4||Ao1sklpt]] And believe it or not, it's about to get even better. From Thursday 26 September, customers will be able to buy special edition bars, such as cherry Bakewell, lemon posset and even gin and tonic! These new special edition bars will be available to purchase online (from a KitKat a Chocolatory website set to be launched later this year), from pop-up stalls in 30 John Lewis branches or the York Chocolate Story attraction, until December 24. Customers will also be able to order a custom KitKat from nearly 1,500 possible flavour combinations. Essentially, this means you will be able to create your own bespoke eight-finger bar. <img class="wp-image-12553130 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2019/09/09351ae3-screen-shot-2019-09-23-at-09.51.41.jpg" alt="kitkat" width="672" height="420" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: KitKat]] Rabia Khad, head of KitKat Chocolatory for Nestle, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/9970408/kitkats-new-posh-handmade-bars-come-in-1500-different-flavour-combos-including-cherry-bakewell-and-gin-and-tonic/?utm_campaign=sunmainfacebook230919&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1569223274">said</a> the launch was the "biggest news for KitKat since the introduction of the KitKat Chunky bar 20 years ago".
