OK, now I kind of expected the trick to this one to be “loads of aroma and zero flavour” of the actual watermelon, so I was definitely surprised to discover, that it is actually, the other way round.
Moreover, you kind of have to stick your nose up close and give it a good whiff in [...]

Yet another new discovery in the world of KitKat flavours…
The interesting thing about this one, is that it’s the first time I see a calorie count right smack on the cover of the chocolate! Only 115 calories it says.
As for the flavour of the actual choc, I must say I quite liked it. Not [...]

OK, the moment I saw this, I knew I had to try it no matter how clashing the combination of vanilla and salt sounds. It’s like having french fries with vanilla ice-cream, right?
( I know, I know, I ate that too back in the day )
Anyway, long story short, it tastes good! Now, unfortunately, that’s [...]

Yet another new exciting flavour of KitKat in Japan!

The collection consists of three new flavors derived from famous cakes: Millefeuille, Tiramisu and Mont Blanc.
So, first up on the pedestal is the… Mille-feuille [...]
