Here are more ways to get Flavor of California Strawberry Kit Kat, which are also great ways to share them or fill a piñata. (Spotted by Robbie at Sam’s Club and Dave C at Walmart.)
So, basically, they’re just regular Twizzlers with the ends chopped off. (Spotted by Sylvia at Dollar Tree.)

Um, yum? (Spotted by Rachel C at World Market.)

I had an Albanese gummi for the first time about two years ago and its soft texture and flavor made me agree that it could be the “World’s Best.” (Spotted by Rachel C at Dan’s Grocery Store.)
Will we someday see mini Unreal Dark Chocolate Crispy Quinoa Gems stuffed into Unreal Crispy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups? That would be unreal. (Spotted by Rachel C at Whole Foods.)

Soda flavored treats
What a unique idea
I hope I can find
That’s Hi-Chew… oh wait that’s haiku. My bad lol! They do sound good though 🙂
The Hi-Chew fizzies were not too bad. Cola flavor did taste like the real stuff minus the fizz. Orange soda was good too.
Dear KitKat, Strawberry isn’t that interesting and I don’t like it that much. Please bring some of those Japanese flavors to the United States. Grape was FAN-TAS-TIC!
Sincerely,
Yuppicide
The ends go down to a different area when cut off and become Twizzlers Bites.
I like dark chocolate quite a lot, I’m fine with licorice, and I’m not at all familiar with the taste of fennel. The idea of combining dark chocolate, licorice and fennel together is not very appealing. I like broccoli and I like hot fudge sauce, but I would not want to be served broccoli topped with hot fudge sauce.
Fennel actually tastes similar to black licorice, which is why Italian sausage often has a noticeable note of licorice taste to it. So it will probably be a good mix for those who like that. Personally, I can’t stand black licorice so it’s not for me. But to each their own.
I think the idea of liquorice in chocolate is a lot more of an alien idea to the US – it’s pretty standard in Nordic countries – it’s not that common in the UK, but I don’t think it freaks people out quite as much as reactions I’ve seen to it. I love liquorice so that sounds lovely to me (not that I visit the US anymore and can go to World Market, I used to love going – used to buy some sugar free liquorice gummies in there actually, which were actually Australian) – I’ve had some amazing liquorice and chocolate combinations from Iceland 🙂 not so keen on the salty liquorice though. 54% isn’t really that dark either, I wouldn’t start considering a chocolate to be dark til over 65% myself.
Would love ‘Unreal’ candy to launch over in the UK – def gap in the market for candy with no ‘nasties’ .
I so SO hope more unique KitKat flavors start coming out!!
