Well aren't these the snazziest KitKat bars? Apparently Australia has also gotten into interesting KitKats, and luckily I have great friends who have great friends! Anyway, each of these "Chunky 3" bars has three sections. Each section is the same flavor, but they're each a different texture: smooth, gooey, and crunchy.

| Australia Chunky3 - Cookies & Cream (April 2014) |
My friend got three different flavors, and she and I decided to pace them out. The first day, we had the cookies and cream flavor. Flavor-wise this was pretty different than cookies and cream in Japan. It was cookies and cream filling in a chocolate KitKat, whereas in Japan, it's usually white chocolate with cookie bits in it. We tried the gooey part first. It reminded me of those Cadbury cream eggs that come out at Easter. Not bad, but not the best for a KitKat. The crunchy one seemed a bit pointless, because the KitKat itself has a wafer center, which is crunchy. I have no complaints about the smooth. And really the other sections weren't bad - just a bit confusing.

| Australia Chunky3 - Choc Mint (April 2014) |
Next we decided to go with the Choc Mint. I personally am not a huge fan of Mint Chocolate. I don't hate it by any means, but if it was between that and another flavor, odds are I'll go for the other flavor. There was another problem with this KitKat - my friend and I realized we were late for something, so we ended up practically inhaling them. I think I liked the smooth one better this time because it reminded me of those Andes chocolates.

| Australia Chunky3 - Caramel (April 2014) |
Finally we tried the Caramel KitKat. I love caramel and chocolate, but my friend doesn't really so much. Opposite from the Choc Mint. Anyway, this was probably number two out of the three for me. But the crunchy section was my least favorite of all. The "caramel" was just too weird. The texture wasn't right, and the color was way off. Not a fan. Though the other two sections were okay.
Anyway, these were a bit strange and at times a bit disappointing, but I really liked the concept! And trying new KitKats is always reward enough! Thanks marching/marching's friend!
