Nestlé expands Yorkie and KitKat range

Nestlé Confectionery is expanding its Yorkie and KitKat range with two new protein additions.

Raspberry & Hazelnut KitKat Chunky and Oats, Apple & Cinnamon Yorkie form part of the supplier’s new ‘More’ range, containing fruit, nuts, cereal, fibre and protein.

Alex Gonnella, marketing director at Nestlé Confectionery, said: “Whether it is fruit, nuts or oats, or the fibre or protein they provide, this range offers more and is our next generation of chocolate bars with 30% less sugar.”

Last month, the supplier announced that it had created a dark chocolate made entirely from the cocoa fruit, using the beans and pulp as the only ingredients.
