It’s an Israeli “Big Kat” Kit Kat Bar –where the traditional four conjoined chocolate coated wafer fingers have fused to create one mighty log. That was supposed to sound more appetizing, though. Hmm, how about this: a tapered choco-wafer Teotihuacan with basketball motifs on each quartered mesa, quietly suggesting what “bite-size” really is (more like a Heidi Fleiss sized bite). I can only speculate on the sporty logos.. something to do with forbidden ball-playing on Shabbos? Please correct me if I’m wrong; I’d really love to know. Anyway, the confection is mild and hazelnutty, due to a thinner layer of chocolate compared to most American candy bars. Mouth feel* is slick and surprisingly non-sticky, non-greasy. Great when chilled but not frozen.
* If you would like to go into detail about “mouth feel”, pick up the latest issue of New Scientist, but it’s pretty self-explanatory.
