It wasn’t until 1937 that the product was renamed Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp.
The name was eventually shortened to the familiar Kit Kat that people around the world know today.
So the next time you break off one of those chocolate fingers, remember that the name may have a connection to an old London meeting place, a pie maker with the nickname “Kit,”
and a story that goes back centuries. A simple chocolate bar… with a surprisingly old story behind its name.
