These are also know as Kit Kat Crispy Monogatari and according to this ebay auction, they are limited edition and just came out in Japan earlier this month. They are essentially Kit Kats without the outer chocolate coating and according to Wikipedia, are a newer version of Kit Kat Crispy Sando (Sandwich).
Other than that, I can’t find much more info on it. It’s not listed in the Japanese Kit Kat store, and neither JList nor Asian Food Grocer are selling it. I did find some more pics of it on Flickr and one of them said “it’s a KitKat without the chocolate coating and with mango cream instead of that bizarre fake peanut butter”. Another one of the Flickr pics says the top of the box (possibly the bottom of the one pictured above) says “KitKat has put off its chocolate!”
I love this site really alot…. soon Im gonna add you to my blog
September 13th, 2006 at 3:05 pmOh my god, you are the BEST! That Asian Grocer website is the most awesome website for Japanese snacks I have ever seen! I have seen those snacks in my area, but they are super expensive. Thanks for the site!
RESPONSE: You are welcome! Yeah – I ordered $30 worth of candy from them a while back. Be sure and grab a 10% off coupon code if you order!

i have actually eaten these! a friend from tokyo brought them as omiyage last week. i tried the mango (!) flavor–but they are only so-so. i think my favorite japanese kit-kat flavor is still green tea and anko, but the wine flavored are also good!

RESPONSE: I will assume you didn\’t check out the Kit Kat Wikipedia page? :)

December 21st, 2007 at 3:13 pmI lived in Japan as a child and vividly remember my Dad buying us “Milkies”. They came in white or chocolate. Are they still available anywhere? I would love to have them again. Thanks!

February 23rd, 2008 at 5:32 pmI am a very big fan of sweets. I have a friend who lives in Japan. Last year she came over to American and brought with her Prun candy (I believe). It was amazing. I also came across an SG photo set with all Japanese Candies. I have been wondering for some time now if there is a store in America, (Illinois preferably) that sales Japanese candy. Please email me if you know
