Many mums hope for some me-time on Mother’s Day – and now you can give the mums in your life the ultimate break with a luxury, handcrafted KitKat that’s personalised just for them.

From now until the end of April 2020, the KitKat Chocolatory is available directly from Nestlé through a new online shop (www.kitkatchocolatory.co.uk). The web shop marks Nestlé’s first ever move into a direct-to-consumer offering for its UK confectionery business.

The KitKat Chocolatory brings with it a whole range of experiences, including the option to create your own expertly handcrafted KitKat and design personalised packaging for your bar.

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. In the 85 years since, the brand has become a global phenomenon including in Japan, where KitKat is considered lucky and, famously, has been made available in more than 300 weird and wonderful flavours including purple potato, green tea, pumpkin and sake.
