CANDY: Green Tea Kit Kat

Kit Kat bars have always been a favorite chocolate treat for me. It's the candy I crave the most and the only candy I would really buy. Today my twinbee Tammie shared her Green Tea Kit Kat straight from Japan! I always wanted to try this flavor but for some weird reason it's never available in local Japanese groceries. It is as delicious as green tea ice cream. It has a white chocolate creamy taste infused with green tea match with a wafer crunch! I loved it! Hope I can get my hands on these again because it really tastes amazing... and amazing enough to sway me from Chocolate flavored Kit Kats! *gasp* I suggest that if you run across this- to definitely try it and buy me one on the side too! It's not as weird as it sounds! ;)

Remember that episode from The Office when Andy Bernard kept singing "Give me a break.. Give me a break.. Break me off a piece of that.... " and he kept trying to figure out what it was? haha, thought the side of the Green Tea Kit Kat Bars would help him remember :P

CANDY: Pretzel M&M's

After reading my post on the Coconut M&M's, my buddy @AlmightyDJKo told me to try the Pretzel M&M's next and shortly after gifted me FOUR bags after insisting that it was pretty damn amazing. As soon as I returned to the office from my lunch break today, I opened a bag and KO wasn't kidding, it is GREAT and way better than the Coconut M&M's! I had mentioned before that Crispy M&M's were one of my favorite flavors and this new flavor is equivalent in taste and texture but a little saltier (funny how both flavors are sold in the blue package!). Not to mention, a bag is only 150 calories and 5 grams of fat which makes it a good sweet indulgence! No guilt after finishing a whole bag at all!! The M&M pieces are also double the size of a plain M&M because there is an actual crunchy pretzel ball covered with chocolate then the candy covered coating. You get that "crunchy, salty, sweet" mix on your taste buds as Mars had advertised- they weren't lying. The best part of it all is it is under a dollar, only $0.75 a bag! This candy is a definite win! I LOVE it. I'll be sure to hold on to my remaining three bags and save them for a rainy day. Hope Mars decides to keep this flavor on the market... because I like it A LOT! ;)






















Thanks again to @AlmightyDJKO for the candy treats. An early Halloween treat for me! ;)

CANDY: Coconut M&M's

Picked up these Coconut M&M's yesterday. I usually like young coconut ('Buko' for the Filipino readers) which is the one with the green shell usually grown in the tropics, not the typical brown one that you see in the US. Anyway, I tried these new M&M's and it's totally not what I expected. I thought there would be coconut shavings mixed in the chocolate under the candy covered shell but there wasn't (I figured this wouldn't be the case anyway because of pricing since a small bag is only costs $0.99)! It's actually coconut flavored chocolate which is amazing because sometimes it's kind of gross to be still chewing on coconut shavings after the chocolate has already melted in your mouth. The coconut flavor is subtle and it doesn't taste as weird as it sounds. It doesn't have a bad after taste either. I wouldn't consider this my favorite flavor M&M's but I'd definitely buy it again if I have any sort of coconut craving. I also think the color combo- white, green and brown is perfect. There's also a hibiscus flower around the 'M' on some of them which is a super cute touch! If you like or better yet, love coconuts- this new flavor is for you!









P.S. Just in case you're wondering, my top 3 favorite M&M's are: 1) Original 2) Peanut 3) Crispy (discontinued)
