Nestlé unveils the KitKat Chocolatory
The KitKat Chocolatory will arrive in 30 John Lewis & Partners shops across the UK and at York's Chocolate Story later this week before being made available direct from Nestlé through a new online shop before the end of the year.
KitKat History
KitKat was invented in York back in 1935 when the first four-finger bar was introduced as the 'Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp' before the name 'KitKat' was adopted a couple of years later. We are big fans of Japanese KitKats, there you can buy flavours such as purple potato, green tea, pumpkin and sake!
KitKat Flavours
At the heart of KitKat Chocolatory is the eight-finger 'Create Your Break' option which offers nearly 1500 different flavour combinations from four different chocolate varieties; milk, dark, white and ruby, and a host of diverse ingredients including shortbread pieces, salted caramel chunks, honeycomb and rose petals.
The range also boasts six delicious special edition flavours including ' Zingtastic Gin and Tonic' and ' Springtime in Japan' while a further eight ' Best of British' KitKat fingers inspired by Great British flavours like Dandelion and Burdock, Marmalade, Cherry Bakewell and Eton Mess are exclusive to John Lewis & Partners.
