TW bought me candy on Saturday. This would not be notable if the candy was circus peanuts or caramel cremes or smarties (not the weird Canadian kind) or even jelly bellies. It was notable because this was a candy bar. I don’t really do candy bars. She was excited to tell me this. Excited to say “I bought you a LIMITED EDITION candy bar!” Now that is weird. Usually we buy those weird Limited Edition candy bars for HER, not for me. But this, she said, was definitely not a Limited Edition candy bar that she would ever try. Hmmm.
On Sunday as I was packing up some stuff for our trip to St Augustine, I got a peek at this special Limited Edition candy bar. Ha! Limited Edition Orange Creme Kit Kat Definitely not something she would eat, EVER. She hates push-up ice cream. She hates orange dreamcicles. I sort of like both, in the way that I sort of like some foods – which is not much but sort of.
Tonight at dinner I mentioned this Limited Edition candy bar to the small kids and they were all interested. When we got home, I pulled out the package and broke off a strip for each child (nice of Hershey’s to give us four strips per Kit Kat, isn’t it?!).
E said “Hey! It’s Orange” oh yes indeedy it was VERY orange. I wasn’t expecting that. I was expecting a normal looking Kit Kat on the outside with orange inside. Weird.
It felt weird in my hand too, not like chocolate but like some weird umm orange coating. Or some fake white chocolate coating maybe.
We all took bites. E really liked it. She was very excited about it. She would definitely buy this again and again and again. Prince J said it was ok but not great, but when I handed him the other half of my strip, he immediately popped it into his mouth. I asked why he was eating more if it was just ok. He laughed and said he just felt like eating it but not because it was great. RJ said it was good and she would occasionally buy it but it was not going to become one of her favorite candy bars because there are so many different kinds of candy bars to choose from and so many that are way better than that one. But once in awhile it would be a nice choice.
E insisted again that this was GOOD and she’d love to have more. She did balk at that when I described at as tasting like a push up ice cream with cornflakes inside. (Which is what it tasted like to me)
If you want to try a pretty good Limited Edition Kit Kat, try the mint instead.

Eh…I much prefer the limited edition inside out KitKat, of which W surprised me with several just after TJ was born. But then again I wouldn’t dream of ever buying orange flavored any kind of candy. Blech!
‘Weird Canadian kind’, indeed! Hmmmph!
It’s so sad to see such an inferiority complex regarding our great Canadian chocolate.
Careful Swamphag – I might be tempted to rant about the inferior quality of Purdy’s chocolate next.
Canadian Smarties are just weird. Accept it and embrace it. Be proud of Canadian weirdness. It suits you! 😉
Hey – it’s not our fault that the company didn’t trademark “Smarties” in Canada and had to be called “Rockets” instead.
Hey LJ, I don’t think we have purchased the inside out version. I am not sure we would like it.
Smarties are called Rockets in Canada? I didn’t know that – the almighty never encouraged my Amercian Smartie addiction. Hmph!
