Chocolate Frosted Donut Kit-Kat Bar

Today in, "things that promise to taste like other things", we have a Chocolate Frosted Donut Kit-Kat bar. Unlike the cocoa Pop-Tarts, which were bought out of mild curiosity and a love of all things marshmallow, this was purchased out of anger. Kit-Kat still gets my money regardless of my intentions, so I guess the score is still: 

marketing departments: 1

random food reviewer: 0

But I am confident that this confectionary covered wafer bar will NOT taste like fried dough covered in chocolate icing. How could this possibly taste like a chocolate frosted donut? 

Opened, this candy bar is looking worse for wear. It's been kicking around my pantry for a while but I'm going to judge it as-is. I highly doubt there would be drastic changes in the flavoring if it were fresh off the assembly line. 

We have a beige, presumably donut-flavored, bottom and a chocolatey top. It smells sweet, like vanilla and chocolate, and maybe a slight hint of coffee. But does it smell like a donut? No. It does not. 

Taking a bite, the chocolate portion tastes like chocolate. Shocker. And the filling between the wafers also tastes like chocolate. I'm guessing all the "donut" flavor is in the tan-beige colored confection on the bottom. I took a bite of that on it's own, and it's a waxy, but warm, vanilla flavoring. It's not bad, but it's certainly not donut. 

If I had to give this some kind of superfluous name for marketability, I would have called this "Chocolate Vanilla Pudding Cup." The flavoring here is giving me prepackaged grocery store pudding. Again, not a terrible flavor, but if you're promising someone that this will taste like a "Chocolate Frosted Donut," and  you get this? Instant disappointment. It's such a bogus concept and flavor that I could have sworn that this was limited edition, but the packaging states that this is "new,"...is this a permanent flavor? I'd be really shocked if it was.

I'm out $2-$3 bucks, or what whatever this bar of lies cost me, but I feel validated. So I'd say it was worth it. This gets a 1/5 from me.
