Have you tried this Kit Kat Matcha Chocolatory Bar with almond and cranberry bits? It is a pity that this delicious edition of matcha bar is only available in Japan.
It was so yummy that I sent them from Japan using express mail that cost me close to SGD 80 for 4 packets π±
This matcha cake was designed to imitate the matcha chocolatory bar - not 100% but close π
