Break me off a piece of that....

As another week passes, we made a total of 11 new recipes. I will be interested when we hit our one year anniversary with the blog to try and get a total of how many new recipes we made during our adventures here. Our favorites this week were the Root Beer Float Cookies and Cherry Peanut Butter Oat Cookies.

We don't typically buy candy bars very often, if we have a taste for something we sometimes try to recreate them. When we do buy some, it is usually because it is something new or a different flavor in a favorite candy. The last one we tried was a coffee flavored version of Kit Kat Bars. They were awesome, but limited edition and we only saw them once in the stores. At the store today, we saw they came out with another new flavor so we jumped at the chance to try this one.

Milkshake Kit Kats! The milkshake flavor comes from the outside where a creamy malt flavored chocolate coating coats the classic crisp wafers. If you like chocolate malted flavor (think ovaltine or carnation), these are right up your alley.
Tonight's Netflix movie is The Perfect Man with Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff. The menu is set for the week with quite a fun variety of dishes. Until then...

  1. This is so cool! I love malted milk flavor, this kit kat can only be good!
    Hope I can buy this one soon here in NC! (as I have never seen the coffee flavor one...)
    Wow, one year of blog, and you sure did make lots of good recipes!

  2. Ana - Hopefully you can find them! Do you have a super target or something like that? I have a few more months to go to hit 1 year - but the time is flying by for sure!

  4. So funny, I just saw these and picked up one of each last Thursday. I just started a diet so I haven't opened them yet. Which one should I try first, the coffee or the milk shake?

  6. I wonder how long it will take to get those KitKats up here in Toronto. I finally found some dark chocolate ones and they were great.

    Looking forward to the milkshake version.

    Thanks for sharing

  7. Great stuff. I had some of the coffee-flavored ones; but I really have to stay away or I'll eat whole bags full. Here's a new meme you MIGHT like; tag. You're it.

  9. Oh, WOW! Those sound so good. I am going to hunt them down at my Super Target!! I absolutely adore the way you presented them in the blender for the photo. So clever :-)

  10. thanks for the heads up. I will definitely be on the look out for those. love ovaltine and malteasers (similar to whoppers, but much better).
    dang, and I was just at target and walmart today.

    I made a most luscious chocolate chocolate cookie yesterday, Joe. Check out the blog for the link to the recipe. OUTSTANDING!

  11. Wow, coffee taste kit kat..that would be my idea of heaven as I adore kit kats (their crunchiness together with the chocolate flavour) plus coffee which is an obsession I have..I haven't seen them in the UK yet. Shall keep my eyes peeled.

  12. Patti - Caramel Kit Kats? Hmm! Hope I see them soon!

    cookbook junkie - If you like coffee, then try them first. They have a very upfront taste. The malt version is more subtle.

    AK - Cool! Thanks for sending the link!

    Ruth - I don't think I've tried the dark chocolate ones yet, I'll be watching for them too!

    Cyndi - I'm pretty far behind on meme's - I'll go take a look!

    Teresa - Thanks! I saw them first at SuperTarget - They also had Orange Creme, but skipped that for now.

    Christina - I'm off to check out the cookies!

    Valentina - I hope they release them over there - they are so good!
