The world's favorite break

The perfect balance of chocolate and wafer, there's a reason KitKat is enjoyed in more than 80 countries. The iconic brand is an international symbol for hitting the pause button on life - to enjoy a well-earned break.

From classic fingers to chunky, original to peanut butter, there is a KitKat for everyone.

In Japan alone, flavors include wasabi and sake - while the gift of a KitKat is customary for students sitting their exams. The country's KitKat Chocolatory even lets you design your own dream KitKat.

KitKat is the first global chocolate brand to use 100% sustainably sourced cocoa through the Nestlé Cocoa Plan and Rainforest Alliance certified. Meaning there's no reason not to pause… and enjoy a break.
