Kit Kat is a chocolate-covered wafer biscuit bar confection that was created by Rowntree's of York, England, and is now produced globally by Nestlé (which acquired Rowntree in 1988)[1] with the exception of the United States where it is made under license by H.B. Reese Candy Company, a division of The Hershey Company. Each bar consists of fingers composed of three layers of wafer, covered in an outer layer of chocolate. Each finger can be snapped from the bar separately. Bars typically have two or four fingers, although the larger Kit Kat Chunky bars are a single solid block marked into three sections.
