Kit Kat is a brand of chocolate-covered wafer bar that is owned by Nestle. It was first created in 1935 by Rowntree's, a confectionery company based in York, England, and is now produced globally by Nestle. Kit Kat is known for its iconic 'break off a piece' shape, which has become a key element of its branding.
Kit Kat bars were first introduced in the UK in 1935 by Rowntree's, and were originally known as 'Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp'.
In 1937, the name was changed to Kit Kat, and the famous 'break' tagline was introduced.
In the 1970s, Kit Kat was introduced to new markets, including Japan and the US.

Since then, Nestle has expanded the range of Kit Kat products to include multiple flavors and sizes, such as Kit Kat Chunky, Kit Kat Mini, and Kit Kat Senses.
