Chocoholics drooling in anticipation for launch of luxury Kit Kats that cost £14

Kit Kat connoisseurs can’t wait to give their chocolate-covered wafers a serious upgrade when the online shop for the luxury Kit Kat Chocolatory range launches next month.

Nestlé hopes the popular snack will prove to be must-have stocking filler this Christmas following its bespoke makeover, which means customers will be able to order from 1,500 possible different flavours.

Upmarket ingredient choices include dried rose petals, shortbread and cocoa nibs – and Kit Kat fans can also choose an option to coat the fingers in ruby chocolate

Special edition flavours also include gin and tonic, Eton mess, Cherry Bakewell, marmalade, Earl Grey and whisky & ginger.

It is expected that customers will be able to ‘create their own break’ by choosing from four types of chocolate and 14 ingredients to build their own Kit Kat.

Kit Kat boutiques with the Chocolatory name are already popular in Japan, where they are associated with good luck – especially for students sitting exams. “Kitto katsu” sounds very similar to the translation for ‘You will surely win’ in Japanese.

Unconventional Kit Kat flavours among the 300 available in Japan include green tea, wasabi, purple sweet potato, sake, melon and even ‘cough medicine’.
