If you like Green Tea Kit Kat, there is also a Pistachio Kit Kat based on the same recipe.
@rogue zombie, I take it you don't have TFA or get pepper from it? From my limited experience, the two are fairly interchangeable. I mixed Wayne's Peppermint Bark with TFA instead of the FW he used and it was a banger.
@HvNDhF, there is an interesting Reddit discussion around reducing the percentages in the Monster Melons juice you mixed. The general consensus is that the original is a bit over-flavoured and you get the same (or better) result by dropping the percentages. A couple of mixers give their alternative versions.
I would always use alltheflavors.com instead of ELR as recipes tend to be a lot more current and designed for the better gear we have now. A good rule of thumb is to look at the date on which the recipe was first published. If it's 2015 or earlier, there is a good chance that the recipe will be over-flavoured.
Another red flag is if a recipe uses a flavour at 10% or more. In all the recipes he has ever released, Wayne has never hit 10% on any flavour. Iirc the highest he has ever gone was 7 or 8%. That's not to say that older recipes are bad, they were excellent for the time and probably still good now. But if you can get the same or better results using less flavouring, why use up your flavours faster and spend more? Cost savings is a huge factor in DIY and current recipes are designed to attain peak flavour in current gear at modest percentages.

Really looking forward to our mixing session. The concentrates have been coming in and the recipes have been stacking up.
