In the US, KitKat bars come in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and soon, mint flavor. These sweet treats are even more popular in Japan, where they've been made in more than 400 flavors! Would you try a purple sweet potato-flavored KitKat? Gimme a break! Some of those 400 flavors are regional, and some were limited editions, but in any Japanese store, you'll be confronted with a huge variety of KitKat flavors. That's because part of the allure of the KitKat bar is how versatile one can make it. And that "one" is pastry chef Yasumasa Takagi. -Thanks, WTM!
I miss the amazing Kitkat bars my husband used to bring home from trips to Japan. Some of the varieties were explicitly made for sale at the international airports. Hokkaido Melon was my favorite.
