A British confectionery company founded in York in 1862, maker of chocolate sweets such as Kit Kat and Smarties.
Kit Kat in the US is made by a different company than everywhere else. Hershey won exclusive US rights in 1970; when Nestlé later bought the original maker, it got the rest of the world. The two firms' bars even taste different — matcha and wasabi Kit Kats never reach the US.
