Around the World: The Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter Bar

The Canada version. The French gives it away.

So, Kit Kats come in a peanut butter version, but not in the U.S. Instead, it's available up north in Canada and across the Atlantic in the U.K. Sad, right?! It's called the Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter.

"Chunky" not because the peanut butter is chunky, but because the bar itself is chunkier than that standard Kit Kat bar and it comes as one big Kit Kat rather than four separable ones.

News: Nabisco - Two New Belvita Biscuits This Fall

Nabisco is expanding their line of Belvita Breakfast Biscuits just in time for school with new Chocolate and Cinnamon Brown Sugar biscuits.

The whole idea of Belvita is an on-the-go breakfast solution for people with no time or inclination to sit down and enjoy breakfast, which pretty much puts them in competitions with granola bars, cereals bars, Pop Tarts, and the like.
