Who doesn’t enjoy having the honour of snapping a Kit Kat bar to share with friends and family! The satisfying crunch of the chocolate bar has probably been a part of many people’s childhoods just like the pleasure of breaking Cadbury Dairy Milk bars into pieces to share with friends, or cherish alone.
Kit Kat originates fom the UK but the chocolate covered wafer bar has also become popular across the world. And while the UK can now enjoy a new vegan version, some of the Kit Kat flavours around the globe are not available here.
Kit Kats are sold by confectionary giant Nestle around the world except in the US - where it is made by a division of the Hershey Company. Confectionary companies, including Cadbury and Nestle thrive on variety. And the popular Kit Kat chocoate snack has been adapted across the world to suit local palates.
There are some really innovative adapatations in Japan with flavours ranging from Matcha to Wasabi. And these are just a couple of the many interesting flavours that are available in different countries, with the UK also having some flavours that are distributed as limited editions.
If you are curious about the flavours you are missing out, here are nine unique ones that should be a collectible:
