The Kit Kat Copycat Walmart Shoppers Say Is Better Than Name Brand (It's $1 Cheaper) - Tasting Table

"Honestly, I think the Walmart brand 'Kit-Kats' are better than the name brand. They actually taste more like chocolate than sugar bars. The Great Value Milk Chocolate Crispy Wafers Bar is made with very similar ingredients to a Kit Kat, namely in terms of milk, chocolate, sugar, and fats. The two products also appear nearly identical, with milk chocolate coating crispy wafers on the inside, and divided into neat rectangles."

"I normally am not a fan of some Great Value versions of name-brand products, but they were spot on with this one. Customers appreciate the lower price tag and same decadent taste. Great Value's version comes out to roughly $0.94 for a 1.48-ounce bar, whereas Kit Kat costs about $1.82 for a 1.5-ounce bar."

Inflation has driven candy prices higher and reduced package sizes, making budget alternatives increasingly appealing. Walmart's Great Value Milk Chocolate Crispy Wafers Bar closely mimics Kit Kat bars with similar ingredients including milk chocolate, sugar, and crispy wafers, plus identical rectangular divisions. The primary distinction is price: Great Value costs approximately $0.94 for 1.48 ounces while Kit Kat costs about $1.82 for 1.5 ounces. Multiple Walmart shoppers report the generic version tastes better, with customers noting it has more chocolate flavor and less sugar taste than the name brand. This copycat product demonstrates that store brands can match or exceed premium alternatives while delivering significant savings.
