Nestlé wanted to launch another vegan product after it saw “an incredible response” to its Fruit Pastilles in January.
The company’s Head of Confectionery, Alexander von Maillot, said: “One of the most common requests we see on social media is for a vegan Kit Kat, so we’re delighted to be able to make that wish come true.
“There is a quiet food revolution underway that is changing how people eat,” he added.
“We want to be at the forefront of that, championing the discovery of plant-based food and beverages.”
