Final blast from the past!

Whole grain KitKat 12/2009

I'm finally 100% caught up with my KitKat Chronicals as of now! It's about time! The last two weren't that amazing. The first one is whole grain KitKats, if I understand correctly. This amused me because in my head it says "KitKats that help you poo." (I basically have the sense of humor of a 10 year old boy). The other is くつろぎカカオ, which means "relaxing cocoa". They both taste like chocolate KitKats. Though the "relaxing" one probably had a deeper flavor.

Nothing special

This 紅白 (Red and White) mixed bag comes out periodically throughout the year. There's nothing particularly special about it, but I didn't know that at the time of buying it the first time around. The bag has both the regular and white chocolate KitKat minis in it. It is a nice party pack, I will give it that.

Adult Sweetness: Passion Fruit

オトナの甘さ: Passion Fruit 05/2013

 It's another one of the オトナの甘さ(Adult Sweetness) KitKats. I have really come to like this series for a few reasons. The first one being that they're more active than the regular flavors these days. The other reason being that they tend to be a little less sweet and more biscuit-y, so it doesn't taste and feel like you're eating pure granulated sugar. If you're wondering, this Passion Fruit flavored KitKat gets Neena's seal of approval!

From back in the day.

I can't believe I haven't posted these yet. I'm so lazy. I remember that these came out around the same time, if not the same time. And I remember the I loved the Cookies & Cream one. I wouldn't mind a re-release of that one.

Condensed Milk and Strawberry

If this was a regular style KitKat and not a bar, I would have been so happy. But instead I was only a bit happy. If this isn't a "first world problem", I don't know what it. I really should quit complaining. Okay, so here is another type of strawberry KitKat. It was good - a little creamier than most strawberry-ish ones in the past. Not bad.

Crispy Waffle Bars

Crispy Waffle 08/2012

 

So, one of the "newer" things is "crispy waffle" bars. They're like the regular "big bars" but with more wafer, I guess. They're a bit crunchier and a little less chocolatey at any rate.  So far I've come across two varieties: Regular and White. They're all fine and good but, they're not really any different from the regular ones, as you may be able to imagine.

Oh, how I long for the KitKats of yore.
