"Kitto Katsu!" which means "You will surely win"
And that's why Kitkats are popular in Japan
Today I've got some bakeable Kitkats
Which you bake at home in the oven
I love Japanese Kitkats! There are so many different flavours:
Strawberry, blueberry cheesecake,
Wasabi...
There's even baked potato, which I'd love to try - I just can't imagine what it would be like!
These ones are quite hard to find
This is the original bakeable pudding flavour
And they also do a bakeable cheesecake flavour
I just found out that for Halloween there was a bakeable pumpkin pudding Kitkat
which sounds really nice
I got these from Tofu Cute
There are lots of other places you can find them
Look out for them when you go to MCM Expo or Hyper Japan
The instructions on the pack are all in Japanese
and the only bit that I can read is:
"Shite kudasai" which means "do something please"
But luckily we have the internet to help us!
There's a few different instructions on what to do
Some places say you should preheat the oven...
Some places say you shouldn't...
But the idea is to give them lots of heat really quickly
So they caramelise instead of just melting everywhere.
I'm going to try preheating the oven
I've got no idea what temperature to use, so I'm going to guess: 200
I've covered the tray with foil, just in case it melts everywhere, because I hate cleaning!
It looks like white chocolate
It smells more caramelly than white chocolate
It's got a bit of a toffee smell
While we're waiting for the oven to heat up, I saw that this year there's a special easter Kitkat in Japan
which is apple pie and carrot flavour
And the two fingers are joined like bunny ears
It takes ages!
Preheated!
I'm going to put it on the top shelf because it's hotter
There we are...
I'm going to keep an eye on it, because it's supposed to be golden brown when it's done - hopefully - and not melted everywhere!
Looks like it's melting!
I see bubbling!
I think it might be done...
I'll give it a little longer, it's not very brown on the top yet.
It smells really good. It smells a bit like chocolate cake!
You can still see it bubbling!
It's too hot to eat so I'll put it on the side for a couple of minutes.
I think that's cool enough to eat now.
Let's give it a try - this is my first time trying a bakeable Kitkat ever!
It's not stuck!
Brown on the bottom aswell
Tastes good!
There's the inside
You can taste the wafer on the inside, just like a normal Kitkat
And the outside is a bit more chewy
Crunchy, with quite a toffee flavour
The texture is similar to a chewy, crunchy puff pastry
Because it's crispy round the outside
And you've still got the crispy wafer on the inside
It tastes vanillary...sweet... really nice.
They should make more bakeable chocolate bars
Of course they can be eaten uncooked aswell
But what's the point of that?!
That was really good!
If you see one, I definitely recommend you give it a try
I can't think of any other chocolate bars that you can bake...
I can think of ice cream versions of chocolate bars but not bakeable ones.
I definitely reocmmend you give it a try
They are quite expensive, but you're paying for someone to import them from the other side of the world
And Kitkats aren't that cheap in Japan anyway
If you want to watch me eating some more things, you might like my video where I try fresh wasabi for the first time
As well as my usual series All the Best Stuff is from Japan
Which is all about stuff from my favourite place: Japan!
I've also got a video coming up from an alpaca show
More alpacas than you have ever seen in your life - I can't wait to show you!
And later this year I'll have some extra special videos from Japan!
I cannot wait!!
