Has anybody had matcha infused chocolate?
Just wanted opinions of people that have had it or were thinking about trying it. Wouldn't the matcha be a little overpowering? Just a thought

I've never had it, but I highly doubt the matcha would be overpowering. I made a matcha milkshake once, with a hefty amount of matcha, and I couldnt taste the matcha at all. I would believe the chocolate would way-overpower the matcha unless they added an insane amount of matcha to it, or seperate matcha flavoring.

...I agree, I use matcha in cooking all the time, it is never overpowering.
In fact there is another thread on the subject.

Apparently there are several varieties of matcha Kit-Kat bars in Japan. I found links for two different types on a US vendor, and neither are the first type I saw:
Green Tea "Melty" Kit-Kat
Green Tea Milk Kit-Kat
You can get both as well as four other types of green tea chocolate candies here for about $15 USD.
