If you're looking to stock up on Halloween-themed sweets and struggling to find stuff, these new sweet potato Kit Kats do a good job of fitting the requirements. The packaging itself definitely gets into the spooky spirit, with illustrations of ghosts, a sweet potato jack-o-lantern character, and a vampire featuring prominently. The individual wrappers are similarly illustrated, so it's a bit of fun for anyone who wants to celebrate next month. The actual product is tasty, too (we got a couple of bags and had to try them, naturally). The sweet potato chocolate has a nice flavor to it, and they have the trademark Kit Kat crunch thanks to the wafers. Overall, I liked them!

A few downsides to note: - If you like these, they're only a limited time thing -- so you'll have to keep an eye out for them and stock up. - They're not all that easy to find, I checked at a few supermarkets for seasonal Kit Kats to no avail, and eventually found them at Aeon. - If you don't like white chocolate, then you're probably not going to like these as it's just white chocolate coating with a sweet potato taste. Those points aside, these are fun for sweet potato fans, and a good option for any Halloween events/gatherings/trick or treating that expats might be hosting. Enjoy!
