Woo-hoo!! My box of Japanese goodies has finally arrived! I feel like I've been waiting forever for it, but that's the price you pay when ordering stuff from half a world away. Anyway, Jbox.com didn't have the snacks I was looking for, so I went to my standby for Japanese stuff... eBay. I found some interesting KitKat flavors, and I also bought a can of feta cheese flavored Pringles. I had a hard time deciding what to review first, but I had to go with one of the KitKats.
This particular KitKat is one of the strangest that I have ever eaten, and I've had quite a few. The eBay seller billed it as being "sweet pudding" flavored, but the picture on the bag looked more like flan to me. Maybe "sweet pudding" is Japanese for flan? It doesn't help matters that the only English word on the bag (Mini) has to do with the size and not the flavor; these KitKats are what we would call fun-sized here in the U.S.
I have to say that the color of the KitKat freaked me out a bit; it's sort of a off-white yellowy color, almost like banana pudding. The smell is very strong but pleasant, and I can only compare it to toffee (which I love!). It has a complicated flavor, too; the yellow "chocolate" is very sweet, but the crispy layers have a malty flavor. I'm also pretty sure that I picked up an almost coffee like flavor as well.
All in all, I enjoyed this flavor despite all my confusion. It's not as good as some I've had, but it's by far not the worst. I'll have to share these with my daughter; she loves every KitKat that comes her way... even the abysmal pumpkin ones we had a year or so ago!

Your blog is still my favorite! Today, I bought a snack that I thought I should share with you. I'm not much of a snack buyer usually, maybe a Peppermint Patty sometimes. I went to the grocery store when I was hungry, and of course I ended up with some snack food. The best one was Sunkist Honey Dipped Almond Munchies. They are $2.99 for a 5 oz. bag at Kroger. I guess they are on the healthier side of snacking, so I didn't feel guilty about buying them. They are a little sugary because of the honey, so they could even curb a sugar craving. Plus, they have extra protein. They also taste good, and that is the most important part!!
What a fun blog!
I agree! Your blog is really good.
I find myself hardly being able to wait for your next post.
I would think this is a successful blog that needs to continue past the semester project.
You are a great writer!
