KitKat Pumpkin Pudding

I do not think I have ever eaten pumpkin pudding.
But there is a first for everything.
And now I get to do it in Japanese chocolate style.
Most people would not really be scared of a chocolate bar.
Much less a KitKat?



But, come on... Just look a that pumpkin on the bag.
He has created a kind of symbiosis with the chocolate.
And he is a really evil dude.
Those kids in the corner disappeared after I took the picture.
He ate them, right of the package.
His buddy, the "friendly" ghost, repainted the whole package black.
Inside the bag there are different small packages of KitKat.
All depicting kids with different Halloween costumes.



The chocolate is milk chocolate based.
It does not really smell like anything but chocolate.
Come to think of it, what does pumpkin in chocolate smell like?
I do know what pumpkin should taste like, and it is nothing like this.
The coconut flavor is overwhelming.
Maybe it was not coconut?
Maybe it was poison?
Damn you evil pumpkin!
And your ghost to!

KitKat Crème Caramel

Another Thursday, another KitKat to try.
And you thought I had run out of KitKat flavors?
Not even close...

This one is crème caramel flavored.
Crème caramel is not my favorite desert, but it is not bad.
If I had to choose, I would rather eat crema catalana or crème brûlée.
But we are here to try this one so, let us get to it.



The packaging is a standard KitKat packaging (yes the pictures are bad).
A logo and a picture representing the flavor.
I like the color coordination of the package.

Anyway, it is a white chocolate based KitKat.
And it has a caramely smell.
It is actually kind of close to what you would smell if it was a real crème caramel.
Unfortunately, the flavor is not as close.
It taste of caramel but it is kind of tame.
All-in-all an ok KitKat.

KitKat Cinnamon [Limited Edition]

Cinnamon is hardly used in Japanese cooking.
So it's a surprise to see a KitKat with cinnamon flavouring.
But hey, in Japan, all flavours are fair game.

Personally i like cinnamon flavoured candy.
Not necessarily the spicy version, but also regular cinnamon flavour.
Anyway, this is a white chocolate based KitKat with small sprinkles of cinnamon.
It smells alot like cinnamon, a rich nice scent.
Kind of makes me want to use it as a room freshener.
It's that strong.



The sprinkles are crunchy and tastes alot of cinnamon.
I think the the KitKat is perfectly balanced, between the sweetness of the chocolate and the spiciness of the cinnamon.
In other words, this is a great treat and I would like to try it again.

KitKat Royal Milk Tea

Royal Milk Tea is the Japanese version of the British tea.
It is basically tea (hot or cold) with loads of sugar and milk.
Despite it pretending to be British, it has nothing to do with British tea.
It is totally a Japanese invention and is, from what I've heard, supersweet.
Enough to give you sugar disease?

Well, anyway... This is KitKats version of the beverage.
Not having tasted actual Royal Milk Tea from Japan, I can't really judge if it is similar or not.
But I can still give you my verdict about it.

It's based on white chocolate and on opening the bag, it smells a lot like tea.
Does it taste like tea? Yes, it has a faint taste of tea hiding in a mix of sweetness.
Yes, it's very sweet. Almost to much.
But, it's a fun combination that lingers in your mouth for a while.

KitKat Le Lectier Pear [Limited Edition]

Le Lectier Pears is a speciality from the Niigata area of Japan.
They are (apparently) known for their smooth texture and intense fragrance.
I can't remember if I've tried the pear itself, so I can't confirm.
It's a white chocolate based KitKat and it not being coloured makes it close to the same colour as the pear itself.
It smells really artificial and with a little research i found out the scent is artificial.



But the taste is supposed to be natural and sure, it taste kind of like pears.
It whould have been fun to have a real pear and compare tastes.
But unfortunately I couldn't find one.
It's still an ok KitKat and it being limited makes it even better.

KitKat Citrus

This KitKat is a regional limited edition from Shikoku, Japan.
It's flavoured not only with orange, but also with lemon and lime.
Upon opening the package, there's an incredible scent of citrus fruits.
Almost like the scent you get from cleaning products.
It sounds weird, I know. But it's more pleasant than it soundas.



It's based on white chocolate coloured orange (yey!).
The taste is very pleasant, lots of citrus flavour.
Both fresh orange, sour lemon and sweet lime at the same time.
I like it. It's kinda refreshing and you almost forget that you're eating a choco bar.

KitKat Blueberry Cheesecake

More KitKat blueberry goodness! Or?
I liked the previos blueberry KitKat, but this one... Not so much.
It doesn't really smell like more than regular white chocolate.
Which is a bummer, because the blueberry one smelled a lot better.
The taste is also kind of strange, more white chocolate than cheesecake,
but more cheesecake than blueberry.
Still, it's not disgusting.

KitKat Blueberry

Blueberrys doesn't naturally grow in Japan and are therefore kind of rare and expensive to get hold of.
That's why these KitKat Blueberrys are very popular.
They are based on regular milk chocolate and have a faint blueberry scent.
They taste somewhat like blueberrys, but not quite.
Maybey it's because I'm spoiled with naturally grown blueberrys ;)
Still, they are pretty tasty.

KitKat Matcha Green Tea

Green tea Kitkats are popular in Japan.
I'm not sure what region this one comes from.
A white chocolate Kitkat coloured green (obviously).
It smells a lot like bar soap? Weird indeed.
This was sure to be an experience?
But, it doesn't really taste like green tea, at least I can't detect the flavour.
It still tastes ok though!

KitKat Hojicha Roasted Tea

Hojicha is tea flavored from roasted green tea leaves.
This is a very rare KitKat flavor that is only available in one small region of Japan!
Based on beige tea milk chocolate.
There's a distinct smell of black tea, not green which is weird.
My KitKat doesn't look very tasty, but it's only "temperature damage".
The taste... Well it's very strange. It tastes like eating tea leaves dipped in chocolate.
But, of course it doesn't feel like it, because there are no tea leaves in the chocolate.
Only waffers. It's not bad, just strange.

KitKat Miso

Miso is a soy bean paste. This is a white chocolate KitKat with chocolate miso flavoured waffers.
It's very rare and I'm lucky to get a hold of one.
But unfortunatlly I was a bit dissapointed.
I just smells and tastes like white chocolate.
Nothing special. But the wrapper is what I was after anyways :)

KitKat Annin Dofu

Annin Dofu is a kind of Chinese almond pudding made with tofu. A popular desert in Japan.
This is KitKats version of this desert and it's kind of weird.
It's a KitKat based on white chocolate.
There's a really sweet and sour smell coming from the KitKat, I can't really place it.
It smells almost like Swedish rice porridge, very weird.
The taste is also a lot similar to Swedish rice porridge, but a lot sweeter.
All in all, it was a weird but pleasant experience.

KitKat Pumpkin Cheesecake

Halloween har kommit och gått och jag testade detta för ett tag sedan.
Det är Japanska KitKats halloweenvariant, nämligen Pumpkin cheesecake.
Japanerna är helt galna i KitKat och det finns i massvis med smaker (som kanske dyker upp här).

Denna KitKat är baserad på vit choklad, vilket gör den ganska söt.
Det syns inte på de gryniga bilderna, men innehållet är lite mörkare än själva chokladen.

Det luktar inte så mycket pumpa måste jag säga, det luktar inget direkt alls faktiskt.
De smakar mest vit choklad, nästan inte ett uns av pumpsmak.
Hade höga förhoppningar om denna. En liten besvikelse faktiskt :(
