KitKat is a chocolate-covered wafer bar confection created by Rowntree's of York, United Kingdom, and is now produced globally by Nestlé. This specific flavor variation, Salted Caramel, features the classic crispy wafer layers with a salted caramel flavored filling and chocolate coating.

Historically, the brand was launched in 1935 as 'Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp' before being renamed 'Kit Kat' in 1937. In 1988, Nestlé acquired Rowntree's, taking over global production and distribution. While Nestlé produces KitKat in most of the world, it is notably manufactured under license by The Hershey Company in the United States. Manufacturing for European markets typically takes place in the United Kingdom, Germany, or Bulgaria depending on the specific product line.
