KitKat is the definitive chocolate covered wafer bar, renowned the world over and synonymous with the phrase ‘Have a break… have a KitKat’.
How old are KitKats?
Who doesn’t love the snap of a KitKat as you eat each chocolate finger, but did you know that generations of children and adults have grown up enjoying KitKats since 1935! Originally known as Rowntree’s Chocolate Crisp, it was renamed Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp in 1937, and finally just KitKat after the second World War.
The original four-finger Kit Kat bar was created when a worker at Rowntree's York Factory put a suggestion in a recommendation box for a snack that a man could take to work in his lunch box.
