Orange Kitkat

This is a limited edition in Japan, but isn't there a regular North American version? Actually I haven't tried that one, so this won't be a comparison. At first glance, the sliced orange on the packaging is so red, it looks more like a grape fruit. After one bite, I can see why. The visual matches the taste, which is stronger and sweeter than I expected. (This is rare. Japanese candies are usually milder.) It's slightly bitter. Almost like they used dark chocolate. But it doesn't say "dark chocolate" on the package. Wait a sec... oh I see! It contains blood orange juice! That's why the orange is red! Da!

I like bitter chocolate. This tastes good, but not special enough for a second bar at almost 2 bucks.
