Dying for Chocolate: Chocolate Bytes: Kit Kat Far-out Flavors

Monday, May 7, 2012

I posted an article about Oreo Multicultural flavors this morning, and Ellen Clair Lamb pointed me to another 'chocolate' story about Kit Kat. In Japan, Kit Kats go way beyond chocolate, with flavors like ginger ale, soy sauce, creme brulee and banana.

Read this article by NPR's Lynn Neary about the unique candy market in Japan.

Krispie said...: Would they ever bring these to the states??? Or is it just an over seas treat?; May 10, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Janet Rudolph said...: Krispie, I don't think they'd sell these in the U.S. not enough demand. You can always ask someone visiting Japan to bring you some back..; May 11, 2012 at 3:56 AM
