KitKat launches 70% dark bar

Nestlé’s chocolate brand KitKat has launched its limited edition 70% dark chocolate bar, which, it states, is made with chocolate from the multinational’s Income Accelerator Programme.

The programme focuses on incentivising cocoa farming families to use regenerative agriculture practices. It also aims to put more children in school, empower women in the household, and diversify income streams. The programme, which is based in Côte d'Ivoire, aims to expand to Ghana in future.   

"The introduction of KitKat 70% Dark to our range of iconic chocolate bars is a great way to kick off the new year. The combination of our signature crispy wafer and the rich, smooth dark chocolate creates a truly indulgent experience that we’re confident chocolate fans will love,” said Hannah Boyle, Brand Manager for KitKat at Nestlé UK & Ireland.

The bar, four fingers of dark chocolate-coated biscuit, is suitable for vegetarians, and contains no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. It will be available exclusively from Sainsbury’s across the UK.
