Nestlé introduces KitKat tablets in Europe

Nestlé launched its new KitKat tablets, which come in three flavors: double chocolate, hazelnut and salted caramel.

The company said the products are designed to capture the growing demand for indulgent and shareable chocolate experiences.

Renowned for providing consumers with a much-needed break during the day, KitKat is now expanding to new occasions, like those relaxing moments at home after work or during the weekend.

Stefano Agostini, Head of Confectionery Nestlé Zone Europe, said, “Consumer insights reveal a significant opportunity to enhance the appeal of filled tablets. The new KitKat tablets are breaking the codes of the more conservative tablet segment and making them more attractive to younger shoppers, which should drive growth.

The company added that KitKat already has a wide-ranging portfolio of tasty chocolate products. With these new tablets, Nestlé is leveraging the brand’s iconic crispy wafer and creating a multisensory experience through creamy fillings and visually appealing marbled chocolate.

Louise Barrett, Head of the Nestlé Research and Development center for Confectionery York, explained that the new KitKat tablets provide a unique multisensory experience by perfectly balancing the ingredient proportions and creating a delightful contrast between the chocolate shell and the delicious fillings.

She added that their marbling expertise enables them to blend different chocolate masses precisely, resulting in stunning swirl patterns that enhance the visual appeal.
