| Dad used to surprise us with a KitKat. |
K is for KitKat
Random. That’s how I remember KitKat candy bars. The family would take a trip to Atlanta or to visit a relative. Dad would emerge from the gas station with a candy bar for us to share.
It didn’t happen every time and that’s what made it a fun treat. There are four chocolate coated bars in a regular sized KitKat. With three kids and two adults, someone got shortchanged. I don’t recall it ever being me.
If there were fights over the candy bar, I’ve blocked those out. This simple gesture of sharing left a great impression on me. I think of Dad every time I see a KitKat bar.
I love KitKats–though I haven’t had one in 5 years and never will again, I can still imagine the taste!

I can’t say that I’ve had the same distance with the candy bar. 🙂
I like Kit Kats.
Can’t eat ’em anymore,now that I’ve entered the gluten-free phase of my life.
Here’s the fun thing though: When we travel, at gas station stops, I’m the one telling the kiddos, “Go ahead, find a candy bar or something! Hurry up,we gotta get back on the road!”
:O)
It’s a memory.
Beth, I didn’t think about those in my GF calculations. 🙁
I bought kitkat last week for the first time in years. Fond memories.
Joanna, When I thought about some of these posts, I realized why people talk about comfort foods, etc. Lots of things tangled up with food.
Nice k post and a nice memory of your dat. I still love kitkats (though I resist most of the time). A while ago they put out a dark chocolate version but only for a short time. Probably a good thing because they were really really good.
Joanna, Ooo. Dark chocolate. I must stay away.
Isn’t it funny how the small things remain vibrant in our minds?
Karen, True. It’s a good reminder for me as a parent too that it doesn’t have to be grand to be important.
Awww! I love it! Boston Baked Beans remind me of my dad for the exact same reason.
Peggy, Food triggers a lot of fun memories.
That’s so cute, Stacy. I used to give my Dad Turtles every Christmas, cause I thought he liked them. Turns out he didn’t really, but he didn’t want to tell me … so whenever I see Turtles, I think of him, too!
Nancy, That’s funny about Turtles. Dad’s are great.
My parents get us Twix bars! 🙂
Erik, I enjoy Twix too.
