(KMDL-FM) The news from Dollar Tree hasn’t been all good over the past few days. There have been reports of lagging sales or worrisome retail trends that economic analysts have brought to light. But for you and me, the news from Dollar Tree is good. Especially if you like a certain kind of candy in large bags.

Why Are People Going Crazy For Lemon Crisp Kit Kat Bars at Dollar Tree?
The Lemon Crisp construction is similar to the regular Kit Kat. It has the signature wafer cookies in the middle, but instead of the typical chocolate, there is what has been described as the “most intoxicating mixture of lemon tart and creamy sweetness known to mankind”.
