For today’s “New for 2013” post, we’re jumping to the other side of the globe to check out Nestle-Japan’s limited edition Kit Kat flavor for the 2013 Halloween season:\u00a0 Pumpkin Pudding!<\/p>\n

Last year I covered Nestle-Japan’s Black Chocolate Pumpkin Pudding Kit Kat<\/a> so it was fun to see them doing a white chocolate-based version this year.\u00a0 For those that don’t know, over in Japan, Nestle routinely releases unusual flavors of Kit Kat as limited editions – some of which are only available in select regions.\u00a0 Nestle-Japan has produced so many, in fact, that it’s estimated they’ve created over 200 different flavor Kit Kats over the years!<\/p>\n

The 2013 Halloween edition was released as minis, sold in a larger multi-bag.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n

The designers on these Japan Kit Kats always come up with fun packaging and this year’s Halloween edition is no exception.\u00a0 Beyond the larger multi-pack, the minis it contained had some fun graphics and a bit of variety.<\/p>\n

I found five different Kit Kat minis wrappers in my Pumpkin Pudding package – not sure if there was a sixth that was made, but I’m guessing that my five is a complete set.\u00a0 Here they are [Note:\u00a0 Check out the subtle differences in the Jack-O-Lanterns and other touches.]:<\/p>\n

I think these Pumpkin Pudding Kit Kat wrappers are great bit of fun.<\/p>\n

The huge variety of Japanese Kit Kats produced over the years makes them a unique animal in the world of big brand bars.\u00a0 Because of that, they’re a topic I plan to delve into with more detail at some point down the road (I’ve never counted but I’d estimate that I have close to 100 different Japan Kit Kat packages in my collection).<\/p>\n

If you’re curious about how these tasted, I can testify that they were delicious. The white chocolate base works well with the pumpkin pudding flavor.\u00a0 Quite lovely!<\/p>\n

And that’s everything I’ve got on this year’s Halloween Pumpkin Pudding Kit Kat release from Nestle-Japan.<\/p>\n

See you next time!<\/p>\n
