Encyclopedic overview
KitKat is a chocolate bar created by Rowntree's of York, England. It is produced globally by Nestlé (which acquired Rowntree's in 1988), except in the United States, where it is made under licence by the Hershey Company (an agreement Rowntree's first made with Hershey in 1970).
Standard Kit Kat bars have two or four pieces, known as “fingers.” Each finger has three layers of wafer covered in a thin coating of chocolate. Each finger can be snapped from the bar separately. There are many flavours of Kit Kat, including milk, white and dark chocolate.
