nestle honeycomb kit kat chunky (Australia)

Ooohh... A yellow wrapper. For the uninformed, yellow is my favorite color. This layout sports a screen printed flood design on a foil wrapper with little pieces honeycomb spread around the logo. Simple, but impressive. I bought this one (and several others for that matter) from an eBay seller in Australia. I've been holding on to this one for the right time to try it out...

So I'm here holding this honeycomb kitter in my hands, pondering how this will affect my glucose levels when I run my 10 miler in about an hour. Ehh... Who really cares? I'm more interested in the kitter.

I break open the wrapper, half expecting it to taste like a mixture of breakfast cereal and chocolate. The outside of the bar looks like a standard Chunky, but there's something different about this. There's the sweet aroma of something other than honey leaking out from the chocolate. My first bite into the Kit Kat was one of surprise. The wafer inside is encased with chocolate speckled with tiny crystalline pieces of honey. Together they made a loud "crisp" noise when I bit into it! Chewing the kitter only added to the wonderful flavors that were swimming in my mouth. At this point, the honey flavor began to really emerge and linger. What a treat this was! I'm recommending this one to all of you out there, Kit Kat fans or not. It definitely needs to be tried.

cookie dough kit kat (Australia)

Our latest Kit Kat review involves an Australian treat I happened upon on eBay. True to Nestle form, the packaging of the Cookie Dough Kit Kat was extremely clean and well layed out with pictures of chocolate chip cookies surrounding the all too familiar logo.

My brother has been egging me on to try this flavor for a while. Unfortunately for him, Val and her sisters ate this one with me. I have to say that this Kit Kat surprised me. I guess it wasn't be cause it didn't taste good. Actually, the Kit Kat was very good. It just wasn't cookie dough. I was surprised to find the inside filled with gooey caramel (ala Milky Way) and a general lack of cookie dough "paste". Instead, after swallowing the chocolate and its contents, we all agreed that a slight amount of cookie "grain" was left in our mouths, thus creating a cookie aftertaste. All-in-all it wasn't a bad experience, just not what I expected. Had it tasted more like cookie dough, this Kit Kat would have gotten higher marks.

kit kats on the way!

Well, we're leaving for Miami tomorrow and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of a shipment of Kit Kats from Japan. A lot of new flavors were released and I'm hoping to receive them before we leave.

Scheduled to arrive are the following flavors: Blueberry Fromage, Blood Orange Bitter, and Pumpkin. I'm also expect the Kit Kat iStick, which I believe is a Kit Kat which is meant to be frozen then eaten broken apart, similar to a Charleston Chew. To finish off the order, I picked up another batch of Cantaloupe as well as a Banana flavored Aero bar. Can't wait!

I just received two new flavors from Australia; Honeycomb and Cookie Dough. They didn't arrive in the best of shape, but at least they resemble the Chunky's...
