The Iconic Chocolate Wafer
A lot of people like chocolate, and a lot of people like Kit Kat bars. However, when it comes to eating chocolate, some people seem to get confused. Why do they always think that chocolate is a substitute for other foods? And how can chocolate replace a snack? If you're interested in understanding all of this, here's a quick guide to chocolate's history, where it came from, and whether Kit Kat really does replace other foods.
Although chocolate was invented centuries ago, the confusion over what it actually is may stem from a confectionery mix made years ago. When looking at that, the wafers that are in most candy bars are almost certainly not what you're thinking of. Instead, what's more likely to be occurring is a combination of milk chocolate and toasted wafers. The maker of the Kit Kat wafer documentary explains that the chocolate mixture was mixed with "a drum that melts chocolate liquor and condensed sugar until it has the texture of coffee."
Coffee is actually a basic flavoring base that's been widely used in candy bars for years, including Kit Kat. So, what's happening with the wafers? The wafers were basically created by melting down chocolate and pouring it into a wafer mold. Kit Kat wafers are typically white, and in most cases have a raised pattern on the bottom of the wafer. There's also a center stick that connects the wafer to the bottom of the mold.
Over time, confectioneries such as Kit Kat wafers started using different flavored milks and wafers with various combinations of nuts and fillings in order to appeal to a wider variety of customers. Over time, Kit Kat wafers became associated with the holiday season, and these particular wafers became a tradition. Kids would open their gifts on Christmas morning, and if they had a Kit Kat wafer on their hands, it meant that they got to eat this amazing chocolate bar. The candy industry has continued to thrive on this association, and many kids and parents alike consider chocolate a Christmas treat that they cannot wait for during the holidays.
Many companies are now producing chocolate Christmas wafers that are decidedly non Kit Kat in taste. You can find them in dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and several varieties of nut and fruit flavors. The biggest Kit Kat spokesperson is, of course, Santa himself. Every year, kids and parents line up for their own chance at getting a chance to rub shoulders with the North Pole! With more chocolate companies producing non-Kit Kat products, it appears that the wafer may become just a passing fad, rather than the traditional Christmas treat that it has become over the years.
No matter how you look at it, the chocolate wafer has become one of the most enduring symbols of the holiday season. Whether you like them plain or flavored, you can't deny the undeniable appeal that they have as a candy staple during the festivities. In fact, many of the people who claim to hate them probably love them just as much as you do! If you're looking for a great way to add something special to your next holiday feast, consider giving every guest a Kit Kat wafer as a gift.
