Limited Edition! 4 recommended chocolate mint snacks

Various new products are constantly being released by Japanese confectionery manufacturers in accordance with the seasons. Currently, in the period entering into summer, refreshing chocolate mint snacks are lined up at shop fronts. Today, I would like introduce 4 chocolate mint snacks that are available at all convenience stores nationwide.

Morinaga [Koeda Chocolate mint]

First on the list is the Koeda chocolate snack from Morinaga! Koeda is a snack that has been around for a long time, since 1971 to be exact, and this time they have released a chocolate mint flavor limited edition version.

Inside the box are 11 small packages containing 4 pieces of Koeda each; it is pretty convenient when you want to divide the snack with your friends. Actually, all chocolate mint snacks made by Morigana has a mint level (1~3) displayed on the front of the packaging to indicate the strength of the minty taste; it just so happens that the chocolate mint Koeda is level 1, making it the least minty of all the snacks being introduced today. So I would recommend this snack if you are not too accustomed to minty snacks.

Price：194 yen（Tax Incl.）

Morinaga [DARS MINT]

Next, from the same confectionery manufacturer Morinaga, with have DARS. The chocolate comes in a dozen and the box is the perfect size to bring around.
The chocolate has mint chips added inside, giving a strong refreshing feeling. Also, the mint chips are crunchy and accentuates the texture of the chocolate. Take note that this product has a mint level of 2, so I am sure that even those who love chocolate mints will be satisfied with the refreshing taste of the chocolate!

Price：157 yen（Tax Incl.）

Fujiya [LOOK]

Next, we have LOOK from Fujiya. LOOK has many different flavors, however, with the chocolate mint you will be able to enjoy 2 different flavors in one product.

The chocolate on the left side for the box are mint ice cream flavored; pieces of Ramune sweet are added to it to give it an additional refreshing punch, perfect for summer. On the other side, the chocolate are chocolate mint parfait flavored. Personally, it still tasted more like chocolate than mint ice cream. However, there is mint sauce in the chocolate so there is a refreshing and punchy after taste.

The chocolate is also delicious, chilled or frozen! So please buy one and compare both flavors!
Price：130 yen（Tax Incl.）

Nestle [KitKat Premium MINT]

Last of today’s introductions, is the mint flavored KitKat from Nestle! Targeting adults, this limited edition KitKat has a somewhat luxurious feel to it. Inside the chocolate is the wafer that we are all used to but feuillantine and rum powder are also used, giving the KitKat a taste geared towards adults.

There is 3 small packages of KitKat inside each box; the chocolate melts easily so please be careful when handling it.

The chocolate is very crunchy and the mint tastes fluffy and fragrant making it delicious. This seems like the perfect snack, when you want to pamper yourself and feel a little luxurious.
Price：161 yen（Tax Incl.）
