Break Me Off A Piece of That

Kit Kat bar!
Kit Kat seems to be marketing all kinds of variations of their classic candy bar around Japan, which makes me wonder what goodies they’re distributing in other countries. Here are a few of the versions I came across in my travels.
Kit Kat Little
These were interesting. They were a little smaller than malt balls, with cherry or mango chocolate flavors. I opted to try the mango since it seemed the more strange of the two, but I wish I’d tried both because I never saw them again. I wasn’t a big fan of the mango, it had sort of a strange flavor that shouldn’t have been in chocolate form. But I ate all of them anyway because it was sweet, and I like the Kit Kat cookie center! Yea, lame reason.
Kit Kat Mini
I couldn’t read anything on the big packaging, but there was a picture of a strawberry and what looked like a cranberry! Anyway, these have the regular chocolate coating with a berry-flavored cookie center. It was pinkish on the inside. This one was a definite improvement from the mango.
Green Tea Kit Kat
OK, I know what you’re thinking…naaaaaaaaaaaasty!!! Right? Well, actually these ones are my favorite! Imagine green tea ice cream with little bits of Kit Kat cookie thrown up in the mix. Yuuup…these are pretty bomb. I’m bummed I only bought one package. I should’ve grabbed some more while I had the chance, but again, I only saw them in one location and never again. Have you guys seen other kinds of Kit Kat around the world? My local Japanese market has flan flavored Kit Kat that I saw a couple days ago…I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet but my guess is it probably tastes like caramel.

I wonder how that green tea Kit Kat tastes..but I really like the idea of bite sized kit kat since you dont tend to over indulge. Plus, I like the Kit Kat from England over the one from the US. Their Kit Kat tastes better!
i’ve heard that sweet stuff does taste better overseas. at least, i hear with coke they use real sugar in asia instead of the corn syrup or whatever they use here. who’d have thought…real sugar?!
I LOVE Kit-Kat bars. Peanut Butter Twix is my favorite though.
About the only kit kat bars I’ve seen are the regular ones (and of course the king size and funsize) and the big kat bars that I’ve never tried. I have noticed a lot of innovative marketing of other candy bars though.
I have never seen any other types of KitKat bars other than the ones regular chocolate wafer ones we have here. Now when I am traveling, I’m going to have to look a bit harder. I definately would try the green tea one.
Not a big fan of the Green Tea …. maybe in time i will be able to stomach it.
Now you’ve been here Danielle you may be in a position to vote in my Poll for the Seven Wonders Of Japan - http://neilduckett.com/seven-wonders-of-japan/
Nooooooo! They all look/sound nasty, what’s wrong with a good old fashioned original Kit-Kat?
Interesting choice of words with the green tea version…”thrown up into the mix” as that is exactly what I was thinking that would taste like.
lol thanks. that’s the only way i knew how to describe it
Chocholate makes me a friend of fat
… I love KitKat Original.
Oh, how I would love to try all of those. Except mango. I had mango-flavored Jello once and it tasted like…musk or dirty socks…or at least what I imagine those things would taste like. lol
I wish I had an overseas penpal to send me tasty treats and other goodies I can’t get here in the “good ol’ US of A.”
