Have a break, have a KIT KAT.

Kit Kat is one of the world’s favourite chocolate bars. Launched in the UK by Rowntree in August 1935 it was originally called ‘Chocolate Crisp’ and was an instant hit with British consumers, though many found the name a little long. The name ‘Kit Kat’ was then added in May 1937 and the words ‘Chocolate Crisp’ finally dropped in 1949. The brand quickly gained popularity and spread to all corners of the globe. It’s success has been built upon its perfect balance of chocolate and wafer, its unique product ritual and the iconic advertising line ‘Have a break, have a Kit Kat.’

Kit Kat is made up of several layers of praline-filled wafer covered in smooth milk chocolate. Each finger of the traditional two-finger or four-finger bar can be snapped off and consumed one at a time. Other brand extensions have been launched in recent years, including the very successful hunger satisfying Kit Kat Chunky and more recently the indulgent Kit Kat Senses.

Along with the Rowntree business, Kit Kat was acquired by Nestlé in 1988 and is now sold on all five continents and in over 70 countries worldwide. In the USA it is manufactured under license by Hershey.
