The Joy of KitKats

I've always loved KitKat. Not just because it's got my name in it, but because the mixture of chocolate and wafers is just delicious. Then when I found out they made different flavors, my love for KitKat grew even more. Most of the different flavors seem to come from Japan. Here are the latest flavors that I've been lucky enough to try: Wasabi & Miso flavored KitKat.

The wasabi one was pretty interesting, but I really love it. At first, the wasabi flavor really hit me, and I was just waiting for it to get hot, but it never did. It's like being able to enjoy lots of wasabi without feeling the pain. It almost tasted like it had a hint of mint too.

When I tried the miso flavored KitKat, I actually couldn't taste much of the miso. Nevertheless, it was still good to me. My husband could taste a lot of the miso. Maybe my taste buds were off that day...

Can't wait to get my hands on more.

Fran's Salt Caramels

Okay, this has got to be one of the yummiest chocolates I've ever tasted. My husband's bosses went to Seattle and came back with Fran's Chocolates. Apparently this is one of Obama's favorite chocolate places to go to. They brought my husband back the gray and smoked salt caramels. They're mini chocolate caramels with sea salt sprinkled on top. The salt & sweet mixture blended perfectly together. The caramel was more of a buttery caramel. I'm too huge of a caramel fan, but this one just about made me a fan. I found out their caramel is made with all organic ingredients. Makes you feel less guilty about eating all that sweet goodness. My personal favorite was the gray salt caramels.The packaging was very cute, but it's not Fran's packaging. One of my husband's coworkers created the box so he could bring the chocolate home to me.
